Intended for Java programmers writing applications or applets involving graphics or graphical user interfaces and is a companion to the book entitled, "Java in a Nutshell, 3rd ed."

The Java Enterprise APIs are building blocks for creating enterprise-wide distributed applications in Java. "Java Enterprise in a Nutshell" covers the RMI, Java IDL, JDBC, JNDI, Java Servlet, and Enterprise JavaBeans APIs, with a fast-paced tutorial and compact reference material on each technology.

Java in a Nutshell, Deluxe Editionis a Java programmer's dream come true in one small package. The heart of this Deluxe Edition is the Java Reference Library on CD-ROM, which brings together five volumes for Java developers and programmers, linking related info across books. It includes:Exploring Java, 2nd Edition,Java Language Reference, 2nd Edition,Java Fundamental Classes Reference,Java AWT Reference, andJava in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition, included both on the CD-ROM and in a companion desktop edition.Java in a Nutshell, Deluxe Editionis an indispensable resource for anyone doing serious programming with Java 1.1. The Java Reference Library alone is also available by subscription on the World Wide Web. Please seehttp://online-books.oreilly.com/books/​javaref/for details. The electronic text on the Web and on the CD is fully searchable and includes a complete index to all five volumes. It also includes the sample code found in the printed volumes. Exploring Java, 2nd Editionintroduces the basics of Java 1.1 and offers a clear, systematic overview of the language. It covers the essentials of hot topics like Beans and RMI, as well as writing applets and other applications, such as networking programs, content and protocol handlers, and security managers. TheJava Language Reference, 2nd Editionis a complete reference that describes all aspects of the Java language, including syntax, object-oriented programming, exception handling, multithreaded programming, and differences between Java and C/C++. The second edition covers the new language features that have been added in Java 1.1, such as inner classes, class literals, and instance initializers. TheJava Fundamental Classes Referenceprovides complete reference documentation on the core Java 1.1 classes that comprise thejava.lang,java.io,java.net,java.util,java.text,java.math,java.lang.reflect, andjava.util.zippackages. These classes provide general-purpose functionality that is fundamental to every Java application. TheJava AWT Referenceprovides complete reference documentation on the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), a large collection of classes for building graphical user interfaces in Java. Java in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition, the bestselling book on Java and the one most often recommended on the Internet, is a complete quick-reference guide to Java, containing descriptions of all of the classes in the Java 1.1 core API, with a definitive listing of all methods and variables, with the exception of the still-evolving Enterprise APIs. These APIs will be covered in a future volume. Highlights of the library include: History and principles of Java How to integrate applets into the World Wide Web A detailed look into Java's style of object-oriented programming Detailed coverage of all the essential classes injava.lang,java.io,java.util,java.net,java.awt Using threads Network programming Content and protocol handling A detailed explanation of Java's image processing mechanisms Material on graphics primitives and rendering techniques Writing a security manager System requirements: The CD-ROM is readable on all Windows and UNIX platforms. Current implementations of the Java Virtual Machine for the Mac platform do not support the Java search applet in this CD-ROM. Mac users can purchase the World Wide Web version (seehttp://online-books.oreilly.com/books/​javaref/for more information). A Web browser that supports HTML 3.2, Java, and JavaScript, such as Netscape 3.0 or Internet Explorer 3.0, is required.

With more than 700,000 copies sold to date, Java in a Nutshell from O'Reilly is clearly the favorite resource amongst the legion of developers and programmers using Java technology. And now, with the release of the 5.0 version of Java, O'Reilly has given the book that defined the "in a Nutshell" category another impressive tune-up. In this latest revision, readers will find Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition, does more than just cover the extensive changes implicit in 5.0, the newest version of Java. It's undergone a complete makeover--in scope, size, and type of coverage--in order to more closely meet the needs of the modern Java programmer. To wit, Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition now places less emphasis on coming to Java from C and C++, and adds more discussion on tools and frameworks. It also offers new code examples to illustrate the working of APIs, and, of course, extensive coverage of Java 5.0. But faithful readers take comfort: it still hasn't lost any of its core elements that made it such a classic to begin with. This handy reference gets right to the heart of the program with an accelerated introduction to the Javaprogramming language and its key APIs--ideal for developers wishing to start writing code right away. And, as was the case in previous editions, Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition is once again chock-full of poignant tips, techniques, examples, and practical advice. For as longas Java has existed, Java in a Nutshell has helped developers maximize the capabilities of the program's newest versions. And this latest edition is no different.

A comprehensive collection of problems, solutions, and practical examples for anyone programming in Java, "The Java Cookbook" presents hundreds of tried-and-true Java "recipes" covering all of the major APIs as well as some APIs that aren't as well documented in other Java books. The book provides quick solutions to particular problems that can be incorporated into other programs, but that aren't usually programs in and of themselves.

One of Java's most striking claims is that it provides a secure programming environment. Yet despite endless discussion, few people understand precisely what Java's claims mean and how it backs up those claims. If you're a developer, network administrator or anyone else who must understand or work with Java's security mechanisms, Java Security is the in-depth exploration you need.Java Security, 2nd Edition, focuses on the basic platform features of Java that provide security--the class loader, the bytecode verifier, and the security manager--and recent additions to Java that enhance this security model: digital signatures, security providers, and the access controller. The book covers the security model of Java 2, Version 1.3, which is significantly different from that of Java 1.1. It has extensive coverage of the two new important security APIs: JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) and JSSE (Java Secure Sockets Extension). Java Security, 2nd Edition, will give you a clear understanding of the architecture of Java's security model and how to use that model in both programming and administration.The book is intended primarily for programmers who want to write secure Java applications. However, it is also an excellent resource for system and network administrators who are interested in Java security, particularly those who are interested in assessing the risk of using Java and need to understand how the security model works in order to assess whether or not Java meets their security needs.

This title is a high-speed tutorial and handy quick reference to the APIs for implementing web services in Java. It is intended for Java developers who need to implement Java web services or who need their applications to access existing web services.
