Book description

Learn how to use XSL transformations in Java programs ranging from stand-alone applications to servlets. Java and XSLT introduces XSLT and then shows you how to apply transformations in real-world situations, such as developing a discussion forum, transforming documents from one form to another, and generating content for wireless devices.
Full Description

The power of XSLT is its ability to change the structure or format of any content that can be converted to XML. Java and XSLT shows you how to use XSL transformations in Java programs ranging from stand-alone applications to servlets. After an introduction to XSLT, the book focuses on applying transformations in some real-world scenarios, such as developing a discussion forum, transforming documents from one form to another, and generating content for wireless devices. Java and XSLT discusses several common XSLT processors and the TRAX API, paying special attention to performance issues. Although there's a brief tutorial introduction to the XSLT language, the primary focus of the book isn't on learning XSLT or developing stylesheets; it's on making practical use of transformations in Java code. The book covers:

Introduction and Technology Review
XSLT--The Basics
XSLT--Beyond The Basics
Java Web Architecture
Programmatic Interfaces to XSLT Processors
Using XSLT with Servlets
Discussion Forum Implementation
Advanced XSLT Web Techniques
Testing, Tuning and Development Environments
WAP and WML
XSLT and Wireless Examples

I am new to XML. However, this book helps me to rapidly understand XML, XSLT, the connection between XML & Java. Nice book!!

ps. I suggest the author to put all book classes in a jar file, just like any other o'reilly books do.

I wanted to make Java applications talk to humans - through their browsers, PDAs and other client software - and <cite>Java and XSLT</cite> really showed me how to do it. It's easy to understand, even for a Java novice, and well laid out... you will learn a lot from this book.

Using XSLT and Servlets also solves the age-old browser-compatibility problem in a simple and effective way, and Chapters 8 and 10 give a good pointer towards this - though a specific example servlet to do it would be nice, maybe that would be taking the fun out of learning and experiementing!

Media reviews "Relentlessly practical, 'Java and XSLT' is the book Java programmers waiting to leverage XML have been waiting for."
--Anna Freeman, amazon.uk Delivers General Computing, Nov. 14, 2001

"This book gives excellent coverage to using XSLT to generate dynamic web pages. Overall, the author has done an outstanding job of putting the two technologies (Java and XSLT) together in a way that is easy to understand. Anyone interested in using XSLT in their Java development efforts should start with this book. 9 out of 10 horseshoes"
--Thomas Paul, JavaRanch.com December 2001

"a useful addition to your desktop...O'Reilly's programming books are important tools for the developer...useful cross-over for java developers who want to come to grips with XML...regular day-to-day reference work that won't just be read once and left to sit on the book case."
--Simon Bisson, PC Plus, Jan 2002
