Guide Review - XML and Java 2nd ed. Hiroshi Maruyama et al
This book takes the basics of XML and brings you much further towards creating meaningful XML applications for the Web. Java and XML seem made for one another, and with this book you'll begin to understand how to put it all together. I especially like the chapter on security which covers more than just XML security, but also examines security for Web applications in general. This is not a book for beginners to either Java or XML, but it's great if you're interested in building Web applications with XML and Java.
