Java Programming & XML
Course Description
This course is a comprehensive introduction to XML and XML programming with Java. The class provides a complete overview of XML and messaging model. It then introduces various models to XML programming such as DOM, SAX and transformation through XSLT. All programming models are presented using standard Java API. The course also presents the JAXP framework to XML programming.
Course Duration
3 days
Course Objectives
On completion of this course delegates should:
• understand XML syntax and rules and validation using DTD and XML schemas
• understand namespaces and issues related to namespaces with DTDs and XML schemas
• be able to develop XML applications using various programming models
• appreciate the differences in applying SAX or DOM programming models in XML application and where to use each
• be able to apply the SAX model for parsing XML and how to use readers, content handlers and error handling
• be able to parse and serialize XML documents using the Document Object Model (DOM)
• understand abstracting API using JAXP factory patterns and the different implementation issues with JAXP
• be able to use JDOM for as an alternative API for parsing, building, modifying and writing XML documents
