Using the Java Programming Language to Build Effective XML Applications

This training course focuses on how XML based software can be built using the Java programming language. The training course covers the JAXP API, including the DOM and SAX APIs, processing XML using XSLT, and Data Binding using JAXB. It also looks at how XML validation can be done against XML Schemas using Java technology. The training course will also introduce how Web services can be developed using the Java Programming Language.

Training Course Duration

3 days

Layout

The training course combines lectures with practical exercises that help the delegates to put what they have learned on the training course into practice.  The exercises specifically build on what has been recently taught and are built up as the training course progresses.

Who it is for

This training course is aimed at anyone who is experienced in Java Programming who needs to incorporate XML processing into his or her Java application development. Delegates should also be familiar with XML syntax.
