Designing Enterprise Applications With The Java 2 Platform

Following her widely acclaimedAutobiography of Red("A spellbinding achievement" --Susan Sontag), a new collection of poetry and prose that displays Anne Carson's signature mixture of opposites--the classic and the modern, cinema and print, narrative and verse. InMen in the Off Hours, Carson reinvents figures as diverse as Oedipus, Emily Dickinson, and Audubon. She views the writings of Sappho, St. Augustine, and Catullus through a modern lens. She sets up startling juxtapositions (Lazarus among video paraphernalia; Virginia Woolf and Thucydides discussing war). And in a final prose poem, she meditates on the recent death of her mother. With its quiet, acute spirituality, its fearless wit and sensuality, and its joyful understanding that "the fact of the matter for humans is imperfection,"Men in the Off Hoursshows us "the most exciting poet writing in English today" (Michael Ondaatje) at her best. From the Hardcover edition.

"Created by the Enterprise Team of the Java Software group at Sun Microsystems, Designing Enterprise Applications with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition describes the application configurations supported by the J2EE platform and presents practical guidelines for determining the best design for particular needs. It explores web-based clients based on Java servlets and JavaServer Pages, middle-tier solutions using Enterprise JavaBeans technology, and backend connections based on JDBC technology. It also presents security, deployment, transaction management, and other key issues for today's applications."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

This book simplifies the creation of well-designed enterprise applications using the upgraded Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0 specification. Experienced Java platform mentors Gail Anderson and Paul Anderson use detailed code examples to introduce every key skill involved in creating components, stand-alone Java platform clients, and JavaServer pages. They introduce powerful EJB platform design patterns and show how to apply them in real-world projects while avoiding critical errors in application design. Each chapter includes a "Design Guidelines and Patterns" section designed to help readers assess tradeoffs associated with design decisions, and key point summaries that tie together important concepts. In short, Anderson and Anderson give readers everything they need to build EJB 2.0 platform applications with maximum robustness, scalability, and performance.

The Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE TM) offers great promise for dramatically improving the way that enterprise applications are built, and organizations that have adopted the J2EE are gaining a competitive advantage. The industry-standard Unified Modeling Language (UML) has helped countless organizations achieve software success through visual modeling. Together, the UML and J2EE form a powerful set of tools, but the intricacies involved with using them in tandem are considerable. While UML is highly effective for specifying, designing, constructing, visualizing, and documenting software systems, J2EE offers enterprise developers a simplified, component-based approach to application development. However, when using the two technologies together, developers must first consider--and attempt to reconcile--the different characteristics of each. Developing Enterprise Java Applications with J2EE TM and UML examines the best ways to jointly leverage these technologies. Exploring concrete methods for completing a successful development project, the authors cover the use of UML and J2EE in detail. Using practical examples and a case study, they illustrate the pros and cons of specific design approaches, show how personal experience can affect design decisions, and demonstrate proven approaches for building better, software faster. With this book as a guide, developers will be able to overcome the challenges in using UML and J2EE together, and be on their way to building robust, scalable, and complex applications. 0201738295B09042001

Enterprise Java experts John Hunt and Chris Loftus take the reader through the core technologies that make up the Enterprise Edition of the Java 2 platform (J2EE). They cover all the aspects of J2EE that both the professional and student needs to know to build multi-tier enterprise applications in Java. This includes the various technologies, design methodology, and design patterns. The text contains fully worked examples, built up throughout the book, which enables the reader to quickly develop multi-tier applications. An invaluable text for those who want to build enterprise wide applications in Java.

The Java 2(tm) Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) defines a new standard in enterprise solutions through a simplified, component-based development model. By extending the "write-once, run-anywhere(tm)" benefits of the Java programming language to enterprise servers, J2EE adds the scalability, robustness, and security required for today's vital e-commerce and enterprise solutions. The Java(tm) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition: Platform and Components Specifications defines the architecture for developing applications with J2EE. This volume includes: Java(tm) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition Specification, version 1.2 This specification defines the initial release of the J2EE platform. It discusses application architecture using Java(tm) Servlets, JavaServer Pages(tm), Enterprise JavaBeans(tm), and other technologies. It specifies application access to services such as JDBC(tm), Java Transaction API, JavaMail(tm), CORBA connectivity, and others. It also discusses J2EE policies regarding application deployment and security. Enterprise JavaBeans(tm) Specification, version 1.1 Enterprise JavaBeans technology provides the standard middle-tier components in the J2EE model. This technology provides simplified support for transaction management and remote object access, and it frees enterprise developers to focus on the business logic of their applications. Version 1.1 of the specification includes a number of enhancements, including mandatory entity beans and XML deployment descriptors. Java(tm) Servlet Specification, version 2.2 Java Servlets technology defines a standard for developing server-side behaviors in web applications based on the Java programming language. As part of the J2EE specifications, servlets technology supports development of dynamic web content for e-commerce and other enterprise applications. JavaServer Pages(tm) Specification, version 1.2 The JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology simplifies the development and deployment of interactive web applications. Using an extensible markup language based on HTML and the Java programming language, JSP defines a server-side mechanism to allow content experts greater freedom in creating and displaying dynamic web content. Developed with the input of a wide range of industry experts, these specifications define a new standard for resolving many complex issues related to developing, deploying, and managing multi-tier enterprise applications. 0201704560B04062001

Based on the online version that has become one of the world's most visited programmer documentation sites, this is a remarkably clear, practical, hands-on introduction to the Java 2 Platform. The bonus CD-ROM contains all major versions of the Java Platform.
