XML, XSLT, Java, and JSP: A Case Study in Developing a Web Application

The book is a practical, hands-on experience in building web applications based on XML and Java technologies. This book is unique because it teaches the technologies by using them to build a web chat project throughout the book. The project is explained in great detail, after the reader is shown how to get and install the necessary tools to be able to customize this project and build other web applications. The tools that are used are the extremely popular open-source tools from the Apache Software Foundation, namely Jakarta Tomcat, Apache Xerces and Apache Xalan. Of particular interest to readers will be the authors use in of XML in the book project as a language to express the architecture and design of the application itself, and not only the data content as is the usual case with <169>XML-based<170> applications. The book also contains some new and provocative techniques for XML storage using Java objects.This book will be especially useful for those developers who are interested in deploying web applications using Apache Jakarta and XML products on Windows platforms, but can be used by all web application developers.

這本書是一本實用的、實戰經驗的書籍，介紹了基於XML和Java技術構建網絡應用程序的方法。這本書的獨特之處在於通過在整本書中使用這些技術來構建一個網絡聊天項目來教授這些技術。該項目被詳細解釋，讀者在了解如何獲取和安裝必要的工具後，可以自定義該項目並構建其他網絡應用程序。

使用的工具是非常受歡迎的Apache軟件基金會的開源工具，包括Jakarta Tomcat、Apache Xerces和Apache Xalan。對讀者特別感興趣的是，作者在書籍項目中使用XML作為一種語言來表達應用程序本身的架構和設計，而不僅僅是數據內容，這在通常的XML應用程序中是常見的。該書還介紹了一些使用Java對象進行XML存儲的新穎且引人注目的技術。

這本書對於那些有興趣在Windows平台上使用Apache Jakarta和XML產品部署網絡應用程序的開發人員尤其有用，但對所有網絡應用程序開發人員都適用。
