J2ee Technology In Practice

Now, there's a realistic, no-holds-barred casebook of today's most important, mission-critical J2EE enterprise projects. Discover what works -- and what doesn't -- as you join trailblazers from the industry's leading Java development organizations, from Oracle to IBM. Rick Cattell and Jim Inscore -- two of Sun's Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) heavyweights -- cover every key aspect of J2EE development, throughout the entire project lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through coding, deployment, maintenance, and updates. You'll find the viewpoints and experiences of J2EE experts from Allaire, ATG, Bluestone, Forte, Gemstone, Inprise, iPlanet, Merant, SEcant, Silverstream, SMC/Java Center, Sybase, and other leaders. The book contains solutions-focused coverage of every J2EE and related technology, including JSP, servlets, EJB, JDBC, JNDI, security, RMI, Internet support, and XML. It introduces best practices for maximizing scalability, developer productivity, interoperability with existing information systems, even avoiding vendor lock-in. For every IT decision-maker and J2EE developer concerned with the realities of J2EE development.

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.

This is the completely updated and revised edition to the bestselling tutorial and reference to J2EE Patterns. The book introduces new patterns, new refactorings, and new ways of using XML and J2EE Web services.

This handbook on J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) platform connector architecture shows how to maximise J2EE applications within the application integration space. It includes a detailed look at connection pooling, transactions and managing security.

*This book is more than simply a reprint of material already freely available on the Web (I’m looking at you, The J2EE Tutorial). * Concentrates on the parts of J2EE that readers find most interesting, accessible, and relevant for the start of their professional career – JSP and Servlets, rather than in depth coverage of EJB—helps reader accomplish something and may spark interest for further exploration of J2EE. * This title will concentrate on web development (using JSP and Servlets) but still be aimed at programmers who want to become J2EE developers – so it will be a title for the Java category, not JavaServer Pages.

What is this book about? The results of using J2EE in practice are often disappointing: applications are often slow, unduly complex, and take too long to develop. Rod Johnson believes that the problem lies not in J2EE itself, but in that it is often used badly. Many J2EE publications advocate approaches that, while fine in theory, often fail in reality, or deliver no real business value. Expert One-on-One: J2EE Design and Development aims to demystify J2EE development. Using a practical focus, it shows how to use J2EE technologies to reduce, rather than increase, complexity. Rod draws on his experience of designing successful high-volume J2EE applications and salvaging failing projects, as well as intimate knowledge of the J2EE specifications, to offer a real-world, how-to guide on how you too can make J2EE work in practice. It will help you to solve common problems with J2EE and avoid the expensive mistakes often made in J2EE projects. It will guide you through the complexity of the J2EE services and APIs to enable you to build the simplest possible solution, on time and on budget. Rod takes a practical, pragmatic approach, questioning J2EE orthodoxy where it has failed to deliver results in practice and instead suggesting effective, proven approaches. What does this book cover? In this book, you will learn When to use a distributed architecture When and how to use EJB How to develop an efficient data access strategy How to design a clean and maintainable web interface How to design J2EE applications for performance Who is this book for? This book would be of value to most enterprise developers. Although some of the discussion (for example, on performance and scalability) would be most relevant to architects and lead developers, the practical focus would make it useful to anyone with some familiarity with J2EE. Because of the complete design-deployment coverage, a less advanced developer could work through the book along with a more introductory text, and successfully build and understand the sample application. This comprehensive coverage would also be useful to developers in smaller organisations, who might be called upon to fill several normally distinct roles. What is special about this book? Wondering what differentiates this book from others like it in the market? Take a look: It does not just discuss technology, but stress its practical application. The book is driven from the need to solve common tasks, rather than by the elements of J2EE. It discuss risks in J2EE development It takes the reader through the entire design, development and build process of a non-trivial application. This wouldn't be compressed into one or two chapters, like the Java Pet Store, but would be a realistic example comparable to the complexity of applications readers would need to build. At each point in the design, alternative choices would be discussed. This would be important both where there's a real problem with the obvious alternative, and where the obvious alternatives are perhaps equally valid. It emphasizes the use of OO design and design patterns in J2EE, without becoming a theoretical book
