Discover the ins-and-outs of the new J2EE 1.4 platform and learn how to build J2EE applications with the latest edition of this tutorial.

Java Message Service (JMS) represents a powerful solution for communicating between Java enterprise applications, software components, and legacy systems. In this authoritative tutorial and comprehensive reference, Sun's Java Message Service architects offer start-to-finish coverage of peer-to-peer JMS development with Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, Release 1.3. JMS is now fully integrated into the J2EE platform -- and this is the first book to show how to make the most of JMS in the context of sophisticated J2EE application development. The authors begin by introducing the JMS API to developers who are new to it. Then, with the help of extensive programming examples, they demonstrate key JMS techniques for enabling applications to create, send, receive, and read messages, and for integrating with existing back office and enterprise systems. Coverage includes: consuming messages asynchronously with message-driven beans; producing messages from application clients; accessing entity beans from message-driven bean; producing messages from session beans; and much more. For all Java developers building applications that must communicate and share information.

You're familiar with Java(TM) programming, but now it's time for you to take it to the next level and begin creating enterprise applications with the Java(TM) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE(TM) ). "The J2EE(TM) Tutorial is the hands-on, example-driven guide that offers unparalleled technical guidance into developing and deploying applications on the J2EE platform. Written by the uniquely qualified members of the Java Software team at Sun Microsystems, "The J2EE(TM) Tutorial uses the same effective interactive approach as the successful Java(TM) Tutorial collection. Throughout this book's development, hundreds of suggestions and volumes of feedback from both users and architects were integrated to ensure great writing and truly useful guidance. Inside you'll find a smart mix of example programs--including source code--that are used to illustrate key J2EE concepts. In addition, clear explanations will help you make easy work of the range of technologies collected into the J2EE platform, including: Enterprise JavaBeans(TM) Java(TM) ServletsJavaServer Pages(TM) Java(TM) Message Service (JMS)Java Naming and Directory Interface(TM) (JNDI)XMLJ2EE(TM) Connector ArchitectureJavaMail(TM) JDBC(TM) When you're ready to create your own great enterprise applications, turn to the unmatched guidance, understanding, and experience you'll find only in "The J2EE(TM) Tutorial. The accompanying CD-ROM is filled with a wealth of valuable resources, including all three Java(TM) Tutorial books, the J2SE 1.3.1 and J2EE 1.3.1 software development kits, the Java BluePrints sample application and book, and Forte for Java Plugin for the J2EE SDK. 0201791684B03012002

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.

The Java EE 6 Tutorial: Advanced Topics, Fourth Edition, is a task-oriented, example-driven guide to developing enterprise applications for the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6). Written by members of the Java EE 6 documentation team at Oracle, this book provides new and intermediate Java programmers with a deep understanding of the platform. This guide–which builds on the concepts introduced in The Java EE 6 Tutorial: Basic Concepts, Fourth Edition–contains advanced material, including detailed introductions to more complex platform features and instructions for using the latest version of the NetBeans IDE and the GlassFish Server, Open Source Edition. This book introduces the Java Message Service (JMS) API and Java EE Interceptors. It also describes advanced features of JavaServer Faces, Servlets, JAX-RS, Enterprise JavaBeans components, the Java Persistence API, Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE Platform, web and enterprise application security, and Bean Validation. The book culminates with three new case studies that illustrate the use of multiple Java EE 6 APIs.

The Java EE 6 Tutorial: Basic Concepts, Fourth Edition, is a task-oriented, example-driven guide to developing enterprise applications for the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6). Written by members of the Java EE 6 documentation team at Oracle, this book provides new and intermediate Java programmers with a deep understanding of the platform. Starting with expert guidance on web tier technologies, including JavaServer Faces and Facelets, this book also covers building web services using JAX-WS and JAX-RS, developing business logic with Enterprise JavaBeans components, accessing databases using the Java Persistence API, securing web and enterprise applications, and using Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform. This edition contains extensive new material throughout, including detailed introductions to the latest APIs and platform features, and instructions for using the latest versions of GlassFish Server Open Source Edition and NetBeans IDE. Key platform features covered include Convention over configuration, so developers need specify only those aspects of an application that vary from the convention Annotated POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) with optional XML configuration Simplified but more flexible packaging Lightweight Web Profile that is ideal for developing web applications The Java Series…from the Source Since 1996, when Addison-Wesley published the first edition of The Java Programming Language by Ken Arnold and James Gosling, this series has been the place to go for complete, expert, and definitive information on Java technology. The books in this series provide the detailed information developers need to build effective, robust, and portable applications and are an indispensable resource for anyone using the Java platform.

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."
