An in-depth look at making XML work with database applications Open Source XML Database Toolkit This guide will arm you with the nuts-and-bolts information and tools you'll need to exploit XML's powerful capabilities. Focusing specifically on how XML works with database technologies-including relational and object-oriented databases-the book provides clear technical coverage of the key issues involved with storing XML in databases and using databases with XML applications. Expert Liam Quin first introduces you to the main concepts of XML and then reveals how to work with this technology. He offers helpful tips and techniques to show you how to move data stored in relational databases in and out of an XML application. You'll also learn how to store XML documents in a database, find and use the best XML database tools and applications, and store links in a database for metadata access. You'll also gain a better understanding of W3C specifications for XQL, XSL, Xlink, and Xpointer. Programmers, Web developers, and technical managers who need to extract database contents as XML or store XML in a database will find this book to be an invaluable resource. This book concentrates on techniques rather than specific tools, but mentions a wide range of software, both commercial and open source, including: * FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux * MySQL * XT and other XML processors * Apache * Oracle * SoftQuad XMetal and other XML editing software * Object Design's ObjectStore The companion Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/quin features: * Additional resources * Utilities * Examples from the book * Updated information

The first book that shows how to harness the full power of open-source tools to build a free J2EE development platform without using any commercial products Tools covered include Apache Tomcat, Struts, Jetspeed, MySQL, Joram, and jBoss Shows developers how to integrate all of the most popular open-source tools into a single, integrated platform Companion Web site provides source code plus a fully working example of the development platform created in the book

In this book, you will find discussions on the newest native XML databases, along with information on working with XML-enabled relational database systems. In addition, XML Data Management thoroughly examines benchmarks and analysis techniques for performance of XML databases. This book is best used by students that are knowledgeable in database technology and are familiar with XML.

Get a head start with eXist, the open source NoSQL database and application development platform built entirely around XML technologies. With this hands-on guide, you’ll learn eXist from the ground up, from using this feature-rich database to work with millions of documents to building complex web applications that take advantage of eXist’s many extensions. If you’re familiar with XML—as a student, professor, publisher, or developer—you’ll find that eXist is ideal for all kinds of documents. This book shows you how to store, query, and search documents with XQuery and other XML technologies, and how to construct applications on top of the database with tools such as eXide and eXist’s built-in development environment. Manage both data-oriented and text-oriented markup documents securely Build a sample application that analyzes and searches Shakespeare’s plays Go inside the architecture and learn how eXist processes documents Learn how to work with eXist’s internal development environment Choose among various indexes, including a full-text index based on Apache Lucene Dive into eXist’s APIs for integrating or interacting with the database Extend eXist by building your own Triggers, Scheduled Tasks, and XQuery extension modules

Continuing a tradition of excellent training on open source tools, Penetration Tester’s Open Source Toolkit, Fourth Edition is a great reference to the open source tools available today and teaches you how to use them by demonstrating them in real-world examples. This book expands upon existing documentation so that a professional can get the most accurate and in-depth test results possible. Real-life scenarios are a major focus so that the reader knows which tool to use and how to use it for a variety of situations. This updated edition covers the latest technologies and attack vectors, including industry specific case studies and complete laboratory setup. Great commercial penetration testing tools can be very expensive and sometimes hard to use or of questionable accuracy. This book helps solve both of these problems. The open source, no-cost penetration testing tools presented work as well or better than commercial tools and can be modified by the user for each situation if needed. Many tools, even ones that cost thousands of dollars, do not come with any type of instruction on how and in which situations the penetration tester can best use them. Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkil, Fourth Edition bridges this gap providing the critical information that you need. Details current open source penetration tools Presents core technologies for each type of testing and the best tools for the job New to this edition: expanded wireless pen testing coverage to include Bluetooth, coverage of cloud computing and virtualization, new tools, and the latest updates to tools, operating systems, and techniques Includes detailed laboratory environment setup, new real-world examples, and industry-specific case studies

Handbook of Open Source Tools introduces a comprehensive collection of advanced open source tools useful in developing software applications. The book contains information on more than 200 open-source tools which include software construction utilities for compilers, virtual-machines, database, graphics, high-performance computing, OpenGL, geometry, algebra, graph theory , GUIs and more. Special highlights for software construction utilities and application libraries are included. Each tool is covered in the context of a real like application development setting. This unique handbook presents a comprehensive discussion of advanced tools, a valuable asset used by most application developers and programmers; includes a special focus on Mathematical Open Source Software not available in most Open Source Software books, and introduces several tools (eg ACL2, CLIPS, CUDA, and COIN) which are not known outside of select groups, but are very powerful. Handbook of Open Source Tools is designed for application developers and programmers working with Open Source Tools. Advanced-level students concentrating on Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science will find this reference a valuable asset as well.

Efficient access to data, sharing data, extracting information from data, and making use of the information have become urgent needs for today's corporations. With so much data on the Web, managing it with conventional tools is becoming almost impossible. New tools and techniques are necessary to provide interoperability as well as warehousing betw
