Edwin Goei has announced the first version of his
JAXP FAQ, which provides some useful
orientation for Java developers migrating to the
JAXP API.
The FAQ also notes how to perform
W3C XML Schema validation using JAXP. This is being an increasingly
common question on developer mailing lists. Developers looking for Xerces specific information
can also clean some useful
code snippets from this recent XML-DEV posting.
dom4j continues its regular release schedule, this time
adding support for Jaxen, a Java XPath engine, which
is in a 1.0 beta 3 release. Also included are improved
output options and a raft of bug fixes. The dom4j quick start has also been
updated.
Jaxen is built on top of SAXPath and provides a API for walking document trees using XPath
expressions. Jaxen currently supports dom4j and JDOM, being
developed from a refactoring of common code in these
two projects. Adding support for other object models
is a relatively easy task. Plans are afoot to build in support for manipulating Java Beans using XPath.
