Features: The Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) API has changed the way we think about enterprise computing. However, many programmers find that simply learning the J2EE API is not enough. To write efficient and robust enterprise-level code using Servlets, JDBC, XML, EJBs, and JSP, it can be an extremely challenging task. In fact, the only way to become an expert in writing J2EE application code is through years of trial and error. Without a doubt, this book provides some of the authors' experience and insights to help you solve your questions. This book does not teach you to learn a set of Java Enterprise libraries but rather teaches you how to effectively and efficiently apply them in distributed applications.
Should you unit test your EJBs? Why is it important to properly marshal DOM? What is the MBean facade pattern and when is it useful? Why do many database developers fail to consider internationalization when creating their schemas? This book distills the wisdom of the O'Reilly Java Enterprise best-selling authors and provides useful tips and tricks on the following J2EE topics:
· Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
· JDBC
· Java Servlets
· JavaServer Pages (JSP) and custom tag libraries
· Remote Method Invocation (RMI)
· XML
· Java Management Extensions (JMX)
· Internationalization
· JavaMail
· Performance tuning for enterprise applications
For every serious Java Enterprise developer, this book is a must-have. Whether it's the discussion on the marshaling and unmarshaling rules for RMI objects or the specific methods for handling database connection pools, this book gathers many wise suggestions that can make your "average" Java Enterprise application "outstanding."
