Objectives: XML for Java Developers Training
The course provides an intensive hands-on introduction to developing real-world Java-XML
systems in a distributed environment. The course will introduce delegates to the latest
strategic and practical issues for using Java and XML on clients and servers, including
processing in both environments. Available as a public or closed course at our London
training centre, or can be tailored to your team's requirements and delivered onsite as a
bespoke, customised training course.

Hands-on examples build into a mini-project for serving XML pages
from a
Servlet-enabled server, including:
authoring XML pages
transformation with XSLT
browser support/styling for XML
mapping Java classes onto XML elements
installing Servlet-based server
customisable HTTP-FORMS/Servlet system
All programs use leading OpenSource (e.g. Apache) or other freely
available
material (e.g. SUN).
