In your application layer, you can create many interesting Java applications. The apps can run on the server side or client side or both. They may have graphical user interfaces or they may be web based. When I use the word application or app in this chapter, I don't exclude Java applets; I mean application (or app) in the broad sense of the word, i.e., I mean it to describe a software system written in Java that solves a real-world problem.

3 Main categories

There are many different types of software that you can write in Java to make use of XML. I have created 3 major categories to describe certain types of apps (that are currently popular) that are really well suited to the use of XML. This is by no means a comprehensive set of categories; you can create your own, and many more major categories will emerge as XML becomes more popular.

width: 0.75em;}<P><SPAN CLASS="dropcap">T</SPAN>his is a paragraph with...</P>

Since this is very similar to the fictional tag sequence used todescribe the behavior of :first-letter anyway, itworks fairly well. It's less elegant, granted, but it doeswork. We use a width of 0.75embecause most letters are not as wide as they are tall, but of courseyou may use other values; experiment to see what you like best.
