If you want to write a DNSSEC-compliant name server, there is no resource better than the DNSSEC RFCs.  There are a whole lot of them, but the important ones are probably 4034 and 4035.

You're not going to find much in the dnsjava documentation, as dnsjava doesn't include a DNSSEC-compliant name server.  I think the library is complete enough that one could be written, but it definitely would not be trivial, and would likely take a considerable amount of time.
