Riassunto

Cocoon: Building XML Applications is the guide to the Apache Cocoon project. The book contains the much needed documentation on the Cocoon project, but it does not limit itself to just being a developer's handbook. The book motivates the use of XML and XML software (in particular open source software). It contains everything a beginner needs to get going with Cocoon as well as the detailed information a developer needs to develop new and exciting components to extend the XML publishing framework. Although each chapter builds upon the previous ones, the book is designed so that the chapters can also be read as individual guides to the topics they discuss. Varied "hands-on" examples are used to make the underlying concepts and technologies absolutely clear to anyone starting out with Cocoon. Chapters that detail the author's experience in building Internet applications are used to embed Cocoon into the "real world" and complete the picture. [md]Matthew Langham and Carsten Ziegeler

Dalla quarta di copertina

Cocoon: Building XML Applications is a comprehensive hands-on guide to the Apache open source project Cocoon. Cocoon is an XML publishing platform already being used by companies such as Hewlett Packard and institutions such as NASA to build their next generation of Internet architectures. Developers, administrators and managers will find this detailed resource an invaluable tool whether you are looking for introductory information on XML / XSL technologies, starting out with the open source platform or seeking a guide to extending Cocoon with additional components. This book combines the knowledge of a key Cocoon developer with the experience of someone who has been building and writing about Internet applications since the early 1990¿s. It begins by explaining the advantages of XML, then guides the reader through the process of setting up Cocoon and details the architecture from a user¿s as well as a developer¿s point of view. The varied examples, from the typical Hello World program to a complete news portal also help to provide an insight into applying open source software to ¿real world¿ problems. A detailed reference section documents the various components available in Cocoon and provides the developer with the necessary API documentation.
