In-Depth Information
Summary
In this chapter, we addressed XML documents, which constitute the basic unit of exchange
in an XML-based SOA. In the previous chapter, we saw how to design and use schemas, and
here we've extended our reach to query XML documents with XPath, read and write XML
documents with StAX, and transform XML instances to and from Java objects using JAXB.
We also looked at various industry and open source tools that help us process XML in many
useful ways.
Beginning with the next chapter, we'll jump into web services, and see how to write programs
that act as web service clients.
