This book was designed to help you understand how to design, build, and deploy applications based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) using the IBM WebSphere family of tools and runtime.

As e-business matures, companies require enterprise-scalable functionality for their corporate Internet and intranet environments. To support the expansion of their computing boundaries, businesses have embraced Web application servers (WASs). These servers provide simplified development and deployment of Web-based applications.

The realm of Web services—software components that are programmatically accessible over standard Internet protocols—is expanding rapidly due to the growing need for application-to-application communication and interoperability. Web services expose a standard interface that is platform and technology independent.

Anyone can learn how to write computer programs—even if they can't program a VCR. Java is one of the best programming languages to learn because it's a useful, powerful, modern technology that's embraced by thousands of programmers around the world.

The books are useful as texts early in the computer science curriculum, after students have acquired basic programming skills and familiarity with computer systems, but before they have taken specialized courses in advanced areas of computer science or computer applications.

At the first meeting of the minds on the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), in January 2000, the issue of needing a style guide for this new technology was raised. Even then, all of us knew that if MIDP became successful, it would require a concerted effort from all the players: content providers, handset manufacturers, and operators. A style guide would help make that happen.

The Java Web Services Tutorial is a beginner's guide to developing Web services and Web applications using the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP). The Java WSDP is an all-in-one download containing key technologies to simplify building of Web services using the Java 2 Platform.

This book intends to make the results of the standardization work in the wireless Java technology area available to the wider software development community. At the high level, this book combines two Java Community Process Specifications, CLDC 1.1 (JSR 139) and MIDP 2.0 (JSR 118), and presents them as a single monograph in a way that the corresponding Java Community Process (JCP) Specifications cannot accomplish by themselves.

This book is going to show you how to handle XML in its full generality. It pulls no punches. It does not pretend that XML is anything except XML, and it shows you how to design your programs so that they handle real XML in all its messiness: valid and invalid, mixed and unmixed, typed and untyped, and both all and none of these at the same time. To that end, this book focuses on APIs that don't try to hide the XML. In particular, there are three major Java APIs that correctly model XML, as opposed to modeling a particular class of XML documents or some narrow subset of XML.

This book is sharply focused. It concentrates on only those Web services standards that are sanctioned by the Web Services Interoperability Organization's Basic Profile 1.0, because these are the only standards that have been proven in production and are explicitly required by the J2EE Web Services platform. This book also covers only those J2EE APIs and components that are specific to Web services.

Welcome! You have just opened your key to the secret art of management. This book is your comprehensive guide to the development of manageable application software using the Java Management Extensions (JMX). Now that Java has made the leap from cool to critical, every developer who has deployed a mission-critical application knows it is not enough just to write great code; to be truly useful, critical applications must be manageable as well. With the publishing of the JMX specification and the availability of multiple JMX implementations, Java programmers have a standard mechanism with which to instrument and manage their software products.

This book is about using Java to develop PDA applications. Having spent many years writing applications initially in C and later in C++, I felt that Java was a giant leap forward when I started using it in November 1995. I wrote this book because I wanted to develop applications for PDAs, but I did not want to go back to writing applications in C. After learning Java and realizing its power for developing a wide range of applications, I did not want to step back. Perhaps you feel the same way.

This book provides an extensive coverage of the Java programming language and its core Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), with particular emphasis on its syntax and usage. The book is primarily intended for professionals who want to prepare for the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 2 Platform 1.4 exam (referred to as the SCPJ2 exam), but it is readily accessible to any programmer who wants to master the language. For both purposes, it provides an in-depth coverage of essential features of the language and its core APIs.

This book has two parts. The first half covers basic tools for dealing with XML in Java. Here we concentrate only on the solid, stable technologies. XML technologies that were not W3C Recommendations at the time of writing are deliberately not included. That the beginning chapters are about basic technologies does not mean that these chapters are introductory.

This edition of The Java™ Tutorial tells you how to write GUIs that use the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) Swing components. In this book we cover the most recent release of the Java 2 platform (v1.4.2 as of this printing). We also include information valuable to programmers using earlier releases and discuss Swing enhancements planned for the near future.

These are heady days for Java programmers. Commercially available for less than a decade, Java has nevertheless emerged as the language of choice for enterprise systems on nearly all major computing platforms. Companies and individuals with challenging programming problems increasingly embrace the language and platform, and the question faced by those who do not use Java is often when they will start, not if.

This book is a reference to the cool stuff. It's about the interesting things you learn over the years.

This edition introduces new features added to the Java platform since the publication of the third edition (under release 1.3), such as a chapter on Generics and information on annotations.

With the Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE), development of Java enterprise applications has never been easier or faster. The aim of the Java EE 5 platform is to provide developers a powerful set of APIs while reducing development time, reducing application complexity, and improving application performance.

Java and XML, 3rd Edition, shows you how to cut through all the hype about XML and put it to work. It teaches you how to use the APIs, tools, and tricks of XML to build real-world applications. The result is a new approach to managing inform...

Java 5.0 is a huge step forward for the development of concurrent applications in Java, providing new higher-level components and additional low-level mechanisms that make it easier for novices and experts alike to build concurrent applications.

This comprehensive guide shows you how to master the most mportant hanges to Java since it was first released. Generics and he greatly xpanded collection libraries have tremendously increased he power of ava 5 and Java 6. But they have also c...

This book is about Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, the latest version of the Enterprise JavaBeans specification, and its counterpart, the new Java Persistence specification. Just as the Java platform has revolutionized the way we think about software development, the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and Java Persistence specifications have revolutionized the way we think about developing mission-critical enterprise software.

Software Developers/Architects Developers and architects can gain value from this book because it includes a high-level software development process, application design, and an in-depth and complete inspection of the Java and related files of a fully functional, sample enterprise web application.
