Java for Web with Servlets, JSP and EJB is the one book you need to master Java web programming. It covers all the technologies needed to program web applications in Java using Servlets 2.3, JSP 1.2, EJB 2.0 and client-side programming with JavaScript. These technologies are explained in the context of real-world projects, such as an e-commerce application, a document management program, file upload and programmable file download, and an XML-based online book project. In addition to excellent content, this book includes licenses to two Java web components from BrainySoftware.com. You receive a full license of the Programmable File Download component for commercial and non-commercial deployment. You are also granted to a license to deploy the author's popular File Upload bean for non-commercial use, which has been licensed by the Fortune 500 company Commerce One and purchased by major corporations such as Saudi Business Machine, Ltd. and Baxter Healthcare Corporation.

Looking to study up for the new J2EE 1.5 Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD) exam? This book will get you way up to speed on the technology you'll know it so well, in fact, that you can pass the brand new J2EE 1.5 exam. If that's what you want to do, that is. Maybe you don't care about the exam, but need to use servlets and JSPs in your next project. You're working on a deadline. You're over the legal limit for caffeine. You can't waste your time with a book that makes sense only AFTER you're an expert (or worse, one that puts you to sleep). Learn how to write servlets and JSPs, what makes a web container tick (and what ticks it off), how to use JSP's Expression Language (EL for short), and how to write deployment descriptors for your web applications. Master the c: out tag, and get a handle on exactly what's changed since the older J2EE 1.4 exam. You don't just pass the new J2EE 1.5 SCWCD exam, you'll understand this stuff and put it to work immediately. Head First Servlets and JSP doesn't just give you a bunch of facts to memorize; it drives knowledge straight into your brain. You'll interact with servlets and JSPs in ways that help you learn quickly and deeply. And when you're through with the book, you can take a brand-new mock exam, created specifically to simulate the real test-taking experience.

CodeNotes provides the most succinct, accurate, and speedy way for a developer to ramp up on a new technology or language. Unlike other programming books, CodeNotes drills down to the core aspects of a technology, focusing on the key elements needed in order to understand it quickly and implement it immediately. It is a unique resource for developers, filling the gap between comprehensive manuals and pocket reference. CodeNotes for J2EE: EJB, JDBC, JSP, and Servlets introduces Java developers to the key database and web development technologies of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. The JDBC API, JavaServer Pages, and Servlet frameworks are covered individually with examples that show how these technologies work together to create robust, dynamic web-based applications. The book also explains how to use Enterprise JavaBeans to create large, distributed, scalable applications. This edition of CodeNotes includes: -A global overview of a technology and explanation of what problems it can be used to solve -Real-world examples -"How and Why," "Design Notes," and "Bugs and Caveats" sections that provide hints, tricks, workarounds, and tips on what should be taken advantage of or avoided -Instructions and classroom-style tutorials throughout from expert trainers and software developers Visit www.codenotes.com for updates, source code templates, access to message boards, and discussion of specific problems with CodeNotes authors and other developers. Every CodeNotes title is written and reviewed by a team of commercial software developers and technology experts. See "About the Authors" at the beginning of the book for more information.

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.

Provides real-world Web application development problems and practical solutions and hundreds of examples and sample code for Java Web developers who use JavaServer Pages or servlets, along with useful tips, techniques, tools, and shortcuts.

This unique book provides an overview of all four technologies required for building e-commerce applications and demonstrates how they combine with each other to best effect. * A single running example (an electronic retail application) demonstrates how the techniques work in practice * Coverage of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and Java Server Pages (JSP) * Pragmatic and practical approach with very little theory * The companion Web Site provides all source code used in the book * Find out about integration issues and discover which technology is best suited for your needs

Servlets and JSP (Java Server Pages) are the main way that Java is used in the Web today. These are Java programs that run on a Web server that allow HTML content to be dynamically generated (often by querying a database) and then sent via the web to a "client" machine that made the request in the first place. Jorelid's book concentrates on teaching the program architect and designer how to fit the various pieces together, spending as little time as possible on the mechanics of coding. As the tech reviewer puts it, "Jorelid's perspective is unique and not voiced in any of the popular Servlet books (such as the ones by Jason Hunter, Marty Hall, Calloway, etc). The code examples in the touring the package sections nicely explain how to use the important methods in the Servlet API. I have yet to see any existing books get into these useful details."
