  • StAX'ing up XML, Part 3: Using custom events and writing XML by Peter Nehrer   - [Clicks: 40]
    In addition to a low-level cursor-based API, StAX provides a powerful iterator-based method to process XML that uses event objects to communicate information about the parsed stream. Part 2 explored this API in detail and provided some examples of its use. In this article, you'll examine customization techniques that use application-defined events. In particular, you'll see how to create custom event classes and use them to process XML with the event iterator-based API. Last but not least, you'll review the serialization API provided by StAX for writing XML as a stream of tokens as well as event objects.

  • Outsourcing Java SE by Daniel H. Steinberg   - [Clicks: 16]
    Many eyes are on Sun, awaiting the promised eventual open-sourcing of its Java SE implementation. But Daniel Steinberg has another idea: instead of open-sourcing Java, Sun should outsource it, so that it can be developed by parties more attuned to the needs and opportunities of cross-platform development.

  • Mustang: The fast track to Web services by Gautam Shah   - [Clicks: 38]
    The upcoming release of Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) version 6.0, also known as Mustang, makes development and consumption of Web services a breeze. It brings the power of metadata (just type @WebService and you are almost done) to simple Java classes, enabling them to be deployed as Web services. It also brings the Java API for XML Web Services to clients consuming those services. This article takes a hands-on approach to developing metadata-based Web services and thereafter consuming them using JAX-WS.

  • Parsing with StAX in JDK 6.0 by Deepak Vohra   - [Clicks: 47]
    J2EE/XML developers commonly parse XML documents with the Document Object Model (DOM) API or the Simple API for XML (SAX ) API. However, these APIs have their disadvantages. The DOM API has the disadvantage of being memory intensive, because an in memory structure of the complete XML document is created before the XML document may be navigated. The SAX API has the disadvantage of being a push parsing model API, in which parsing events are generated by the parser. StAX, in comparison, is based on a pull parsing model. In this article, you'll first create your own XML document and then learn the various ways to parse it, using the StAX pull-method of event generation.
