| Recent years have seen tremendous acceptance of both XML and open source technologies
in the IT industry. Apache developed several projects that use XML extensively. However, most
of the Apache projects are documented primarily for programmers and carry very little documentation
for novices. It becomes extremely difficult for a beginner or an intermediate user
to use these projects in their applications without the availability of adequate code examples.
This book tries to bridge this gap by bringing together important Apache projects that are useful
for developing XML applications along with documentation and ample code examples on
each project.
The general impression in the industry is that Apache projects necessarily require use of
the Linux operating system. Thus, most books on Apache are written around Linux. However,
Apache projects support the Windows operating system and run equally well on Windows.
Although all of the examples in this book are developed on Windows, the applications are Java
based. Because Java is a platform-neutral language, all the applications could run on both
operating systems without any code modifications; what differs is only the software installation
for each project. These differences are minor and typically involve only setting the path
and other environment variables. For those who use Linux, I have included an appendix that
describes the software installation for each chapter.
The book uses a stock brokerage theme to describe the XML-based application development.
This gives you a near real-life application development perspective. |
