Professional XML Development with Apache Tools (Wrox Press) is a code-intensive guide to the tools in the Apache XML Project most used by Java developers. The book has two primary goals: to familiarize developers with the unique capabilities of the Apache tools, and to demonstrate professional techniques for using the tools in various combinations to construct real-world applications. There will be one or two sample applications built throughout the course of the book. The overall approach this book takes is similar to Hightower's Java Tools for Extreme Programming.  The book describes best-of-breed XML tools, and shows readers how to use the tools in unison to develop professional XML/Java applications.
