This book wasn't what I expected. The scope of the book is centered around concerns other than actual development. It's more about how to use or integrate XML into internet-based infrastructure, such as using XML as a storage medium or on the secure exchange of XML messages over HTTP. It includes a lot of application ideas and notes on architectural concerns. It does not cover things like XML specs, parsing, or transformation. Even the Java coverage is sparse, centered mostly in one chapter on servlets.
It's actually a readable book, just not what I was looking for.
