XML / Java Programming Workshop

The developer should be familiar with the host environment - Windows NT/2000, Windows 95/98 or Windows XP. Knowledge of the Java programming language is required, as Java is used to validate and manipulate XML documents. This can be gained by attending course EC22. Knowledge of XML is also required. This can be gained by attending course EC51.

Practical sessions make up a large part of the course, allowing delegates to demonstrate and reinforce the lectures given. During these sessions the delegate will gain experience of coding both SAX and DOM parsers to validate and parse XML documents. Examples are used extensively, ranging from simple code snippets to full applications with complete 'real world' functionality. These are supplied at the start of the course and it is encouraged that the delegates execute and 'experiment' with these under the instructor's guidance as they are introduced. These examples are available to take away, along with the delegate's own work. The comprehensive Student Guide supplied is fully indexed serving as a useful reference tool long after the course has finished. Delegates will also be able to access a free help-line with technical questions relating to topics covered on the course.

Course Environment

• XML development will be performed using an XML Source Editor (a text editor such as Notepad or TextPad and XML Spy)
together with an XML testing environment (Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater and Netscape 6.0 or greater)

• Java development will be performed using either the Java Development Kit (JDK) plus a text editor, JBuilder, VisualAge for Java or Websphere Studio Application Developer

The course includes the following modules:

• The JAXP API


• The SAX 2.0 API


• The DOM 2.0 API


• The XSLT API


• The JDOM API
• The future of XML

Whilst covering the basics of Java and XML, and how it is used, this course also aims to give an insight into the different standards and formats for validating, transforming and creating XML documents. On completion of this course the student will be able to:

• Validate and transform XML documents using SAX 2.0


• Validate and transform XML documents using DOM 2.0


• Validate and transform XML documents using the XSLT API


• Validate and transform XML documents using the JDOM API
