Sams Teach Yourself J2Ee in 21 Days: With Ejb, Jsp, Servlets, Jndi, Jdbc, and Xml (Sams Teach Yourself...in 21 Days)

J2EE has become required knowledge for any serious Java developer, but learning this large and complex specification requires a substantial investment of time and energy. Sams Teach Yourself J2EE in 21 Days presents the enterprise Java architecture in accessible, easy-to-comprehend lessons, describing how each J2EE tool solves the challenges of n-Tier development. Using the architecture as a roadmap, following chapters describe Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), JavaServer Pages (JSP), servlets, and more, giving readers a full understanding of J2EE development.
Further chapters cover the role of XML, custom JSP tags, and how Java Connectors allow J2EE applications to interact with legacy and non-Java systems. The book finishes with sample applications that put all the pieces together, including an example using J2EE to create Web Services. Along the way, every concept is illustrated with practical, real-world examples to ensure understanding by Java students as well as experts.

Core J2EE Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategies

Sun Microsystems' Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) has become the platform of choice for Web-centric distributed enterprise application development. Expert consultants from the Sun Java Center have been helping customers build J2EE-based solutions since the earliest days of the technology, focusing primarily on up-front design and architecture. Along the way, they've identified powerful J2EE design patterns that lead to applications with superior performance, scalability, and robustness. This book brings those design patterns together, sharing Sun's best practices for development with Java Server Pages (JSP), Servlets, EJB, and other J2EE technologies. It presents a complete catalog of J2EE patterns encapsulating proven and recommended designs for common J2EE-related problems, organized into presentation tier, business tier and integration tier solutions. Presentation tier patterns describe solutions involving JSP and servlets; business tier patterns describe solutions involving EJB; and integration tier patterns describe solutions involving JDBC and Java Messaging Service (JMS). The book also identifies bad practices to be avoided. Finally, it presents an end-to-end multi-tier case study covering every stage of enterprise development.

J2EE Best Practices: Java Design Patterns, Automation, and Performance (Wiley Application Development Series)

Learn how to apply robust application design to your J2EE projects
There are a number of best practices you need to consider to build highly effective J2EE components and integrate them into applications. These practices include evaluating and selecting the right set of software components and services to handle the job.
In this book, Darren Broemmer supplies you with a set of best practices for J2EE development and then teaches you how to use them to construct an application architecture referred to as the reference architecture. The design and implementation of the reference architecture is based on a set of guiding principles that are used to optimize and automate J2EE development.
In addition to the author's thorough discussions of the latest technologies for J2EE implementation-including EJB 2, Jakarta Struts, Servlets, Java Server Pages, UML, design patterns, Common Business Logic Foundation components, and XML-Broemmer addresses such topics as:
* Understanding J2EE application architecture
* Building business applications with J2EE, a business object architecture, and extensible components created with design patterns
* Designing and implementing a sample banking Web application
* Integrating proven performance-engineering and optimization practices in the development process
* Using metadata-driven, configurable foundation components to automate much of the development and processing of Web-based business applications
The companion Web site contains the source code for a Common Business Logic Foundation and sample applications from the book, including a Jakarta Struts project and a banking application. Links to the Jakarta Struts frameworks and J2EE application servers such as BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere are also provided.
