Java and XML books
- Java and XSLT: Embedding XML Processing Into Java Applications
-
By Eric Burke
An excellent guide through the territory. One of this book's great strengths is its integrated coverage of JAXP throughout, not as an afterthought. Practical aspects of servlet implementation and deployment using Ant are delivered with a healthy balance of code samples, descriptive walk-throughs and useful development tools that demonstrate the design patterns all the more clearly.

-
By Hiroshi Maruyama, Kent Tamura and Naohika Uramoto
The lead developers of IBM's XML for Java parser, the forerunner of Apache Xerces, give a practical introduction to the subject area. The principles are good even if some of the examples are dated, including pre-XSL transformation classes.
