Summary: Nearly a Panacea
Comment: Steve preaches words of wisdom and exhortation to the many would-be software development practitioners endeavoring to claim the promises of Java and XML. His book is second to none with regard to explaining Java-Oracle-XML because
(1) he provides deep and wide coverage of the concepts (2) he provides meaningful example code for nearly everything discussed in the book (3) he has a command of Java, PL/SQL and XML that enables him to speak fluently in any of these languages. Consequently he becomes an ambassador from any of these camps to any of the others.
The book shelves are crowded with XML, Java and Oracle books that dabble in the nexus of these technologies - applications. Where they all fall short of describing the intersection of these technologies in ways that are germane to business (Oracle XML Applications) OXA succeeds.
Especially noteworthy are the many examples of using LOBs to store, manipulate and retrieve XML documents and his treatment of XSLT in chapters 7 and 9. After taking great pains to explain the use of XPath he then goes to great lengths to show how it is used in XSLT to transform XML documents into HTML, XML or other document types. Pay special attention to the explanation of the operation on page 279.
Those who read his book will certainly benefit from its disclosures.

Summary: The best O'Reilly Book IMO
Comment: If you don't give this book 5 stars, you should pay somehow in your "reputation" as a reviewer (I guess Amazon doesn't have that tech yet). This is not only the best book on the subject, it's the best O'Reilly book I've seen in a long time, if ever. Plus, the author is very active on the Oracle developer forums. Run, don't walk, to get this one if contemplating using Oracle and XML. I haven't read the new Wrox book on the subject but would be stunned if it's anywhere near this book. 10 stars.

Summary: Good Book
Comment: If you want to learn about using Oracle's XML packages and functions, this is a good book. It fills in for the lack of Oracle documentation.
