In Using XML with Legacy Business Applications, e-commerce expert Michael C. Rawlins outlines usable techniques for solving day-to-day XML-related data exchange problems.

Using an easy-to-understand cookbook approach, Rawlins shows you how to build XML support into legacy business applications using Java and C++.
