Why do we organize this seminar ?
XML and Java are a good match: Java was conceived to write platform-independent and architecture-neutral applications, while XML was designed to model and process cross-platform data. The combination of Java and XML provides an all-purpose tool set for modern IT architects. By now, XML has delivered on its promise of being the worthy successor for the plain old-times ASCII format: today's configuration and exchange files all hold the recognizable <angle-brackets/>. Both languages are thoroughly internationalized and have been designed to work in a platform independent and distributed environment.

This seminar shows how easy it is to have your own Java code work with XML (read, write, store and transform). The W3C is still releasing new Recommendations in the XML space as we speak and the Java Community wraps those features in clear cut API's that offer easy programmer access to the rich feature set of the XML family of specifications (XML, XSLT, Xpath, Xpointer, Xlink, ...). Don't panic if this overwhelms you: we will give a brief introduction to all these XML specifications, so that you understand how they are mapped into the Java API's.
Taking the step into real-life XML application building, we go beyond the simple XML data handling and right into doing something useful with XML. We will cover how to avoid the typical pitfalls people often see regarding encoding issues and memory consumption. We will also discuss the newer developments like JAXB and STaX to come to real Java implementations of XML-based protocols and solutions:
This seminar will not only give a status-overview of the API's, and explain how you set them to work in your applications to build, interpret and transform your own XML streams, it will also try to comment on why and when you should decide on (not) using them in your XML&Java-based architectures.
Finally, we show where and how the different aspects of modern applications should use XML and benefit from the existing Java API's and implementations. To assist you in deciding what combination of Java and XML technology you should use, we will discuss in detail the strengths and weaknesses of Java/XML technologies in respect to what they offer. We will also explain the impact of the use of Java/XML technologies on tools, training, project & people management, ...

Marc Portier is one of the co-founders of Outerthought, a young, dynamic, technical Java & XML knowledge center. He has been professionally involved with Java since the early days, making him an early believer and life-long advocate. The web and XML related API's are his focal point in the continuous pursuit of new challenging API's in the many directions the language and platform has taken.Marc was found speaking on Java and XML topics on seminars and user conferences in Belgium, The Netherlands and the U.S.Outerthought is a Java, XML and open source consultancy built upon the knowledge, experience and expertise of its founders, who have been intimate with the technical issues of Java and XML-based Internet development for many years. Aside from their technical hands-on experience as developers and architects, they have been advocating, training and speaking about Java, XML and open source topics in general on numerous occasions.
