The second JavaWorld article on Jato is available at http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2001/jw-0413-jato2.html. It was first published a couple of weeks ago and covers java->XML in good detail.

Andy has published a new Syntax Reference Guide at http://www.krumel.com/jato/docs/jato-reference.pdf. It is not complete but it does provide complete coverage of the script tags.

Expressions will follow soon.

Andy's first Jato article is the featured article at JavaWorld. It provides a quick introduction to performing Java-to-XML and XML-to-Java transformations. More articles will appear in the near future. The next two look at Java-to-XML and XML-to-Java transformations in detail, respectively.
