Features: XSQL is not a complex technology. With it, you can easily weigh how to use many robust, mature, and available technologies (such as SQL, HTML, HTTP, XML, Java, and Oracle RDBMS, etc.). This book comprehensively discusses the interrelationships between XSQL and these technologies, details how to use XSQL to represent database data on the Web, and provides numerous code examples showing how to use XSQL and XSLT to develop complete applications. Readers interested in XSQL can learn from this book how to combine these powerful technologies to publish dynamic Web content. In addition to introducing the exciting features of XSQL, this book also covers the following:
· Building XML Web applications and Web services using XSQL, OracleText, TQL, XSLT, and Java, leveraging data from the Oracle database.
· Enhancing XSQL with various practical techniques using custom behavior handlers, serializers, and the XSQL API.
· Writing scripts based on database data using XSLT.
· Generating images and PDF documents arbitrarily using serializers.
XSQL is currently one of the most popular extensible structured query languages. This book presents a fresh perspective on how to leverage the powerful capabilities of XSQL combined with SQL, Oracle Ten, Oracle RDBMS, Java, XML, and XSLT to publish dynamic Web content. The main content includes:
· Explaining how to use XSQL, other related technologies, and Oracle database data to build XML Web applications and Web services.
· Providing practical techniques for enhancing XSQL using custom behavior handlers, serializers, and the XSQL API.
· Demonstrating how to write scripts based on database data using XSLT.
· Explaining how to use serializers to arbitrarily generate images and PDF documents.
This book is suitable for programmers and developers who have some familiarity with Oracle, SQL, XML, and Java and wish to leverage multiple Web technologies to develop dynamic Web content using XSQL.
