This new edition of this classic history of the Supreme Court discusses the selection, nomination, and appointment of each of the Justices who have sat on the U.S. Supreme Court since 1789. Abraham provides a fascinating account of the presidential motivations behind each nomination, examining how each appointee's performance on the bench fulfilled, or disappointed, presidential expectations.

Java is a powerful and fast maturing development platform used to create client/server applications on any platform. XML is the most recent markup language, a standard format for the universal sharing of data and an intrinsic part of all major development both on the Web, and in the wider business community. Enterprise web applications are increasingly combining Java and XML technologies to provide more efficient ways to integrate Internet presence with business systems in the world of e-commerce. 
This core professional compendium breaks down into three main sections. The first presents the basic XML standards, Java APIs and programming tools for handling XML. The second part presents a selection of Java techniques which make up the building blocks for XML-based applications. The section is Java-centric, and presents the common scenarios for XML data I/O, building on the basic tools presented in part one. The final and largest section of the book shows how XML applications can be built on top of the techniques shown in part two, and demonstrates how XML can be used to solve real programming problems. 
If you want a hefty box of XML manipulation tools at your disposal and would like to discover how the language could be used in your Java applications, then this book is for you.

XML is rapidly becoming the standard representation format for data interchange, data verification, configuration, RDBMS interaction, remote procedure invocation, and the representation of transformation processes. In all these areas the Java language provides the programming interfaces and tools needed for driving the underlying machinery. 
 The intersection between Java and XML is wide-ranging, and the knowledge required to use them together effectively is expanding daily. The API section of this book provides quick access to the essential Java XML programming interfaces: SAX, DOM Core, DOM Extensions, JDOM, JAXP and TrAX, together with dozens of illustrative examples. The Tools section includes chapters on Oracle XDK, IBM Web Services Toolkit, Apache XML Project, XML tools for lightweight/mobile devices, and an overview of Sun early access XML projects, all packed with examples and reference material. The final Techniques section explores Java XML over five projects, developing a distributed business casestudy.

Mac OS X is a UNIX-based operating system that runs on some of the finest hardware in the world. It comes with some excellent development tools, and a first-class Java 2 Standard Edition implementation, including a HotSpot client virtual machine, tied right into the operating system. Apple has made Java a first-class citizen of Mac OS X, and this book shows how Java developers can take advantage of the power they've been given. 
 Using Java as a development language on Mac OS X, you can write portable pure Java applications that run and look like native programs, or you can develop programs that exploit the Cocoa programming interface, allowing you to build powerful Mac OS X applications and take advantage of all the functionality provided by Apple's exciting Aqua UI. You can also exploit native operating-system functionality without writing any C or C++ code, through APIs such as JDirect. This book explains to the experienced Java developer where to start, what's possible, and where to go. 
 This book covers: 
 The role of Java in Mac OS X Using Mac OS X as a Java development platform Writing portable Java Code Taking advantage of Mac OS X's features in pure Java applications Developing enterprise applications on Mac OS X Deploying Java code as a Mac OS X application Accessing OS-specific functions through MRJ and JDirect Using Java to program Cocoa
