Synopsis

This book is about programming n-tier applications for the Java platform. Separation of presentation, business logic and data sources is standard in applications these days, and Java provides excellent support both for programming each layer and for communicating between them. This book is also about programming web applications, in which the presentation layer outputs HTML that it bas generated dynamically using servlets or JavaServer Pages ISP). The business layer can be servlet-based, bean-based, (for a JSP application) or it can use Enterprise JavaBeans. Finally, the data layer needs to serve all manner of data types. And that's where the Java platform scores again. Not only are the Java class libraries comprehensive, and developed with industry-wide input, they are also platform independent. With Java, you can join together the disparate pieces of your business - data, applications and platforms - to form a coherent whole. Who is this book for ? This book is aimed at developers who are familiar with the Java programming language and have some experience of web technologies. Whether you're coding from scratch, creating web components or adding a web front end to an existing application, there's something here for you. Tutorial in Servlets 2.1 SDK and JSP 1.0, showing how Java works with the Web How Java deals with data - be it relational, directory, XML, mail or web. How all those Java 2 Enterprise Edition APIs fit together. Case studies in n-tier design and CORBA integration, handling XML data, indexing and searching, working with Jini and JavaSpaces and directory services. How to set up Apache and JServ

About this title

Review

Wrox specialise in books written by programmers, for programmers. This latest volume on developing Java- based web applications is no different. All 12 authors are developers and consultants--including some who have been part of Sun's own Java team.

The Web is becoming more and more a way of delivering applications, rather than just static Web pages. Java is becoming more and more popular as a tool for building Web applications, thanks to Java servlets and Java Server Pages. Professional Java Server Programming is a big book full of code samples and of real world experience.

Starting with a grounding in Web application development and technologies, the book introduces the various concepts of using Java to deliver Web content--as well as helping to give you the tools you need to work around the limitations of Web servers and Web browsers. You'll also learn how to develop complex database driven applications and how to make the work faster. As this is a book on the cutting edge of Java development, you'll also find sections on using Java with XML documents and LAP directory servers, as well as Enterprise Java Beans. There's even a good look at the next generation of Java technologies--Jini and Java Spaces, with a look at how these can be used in Web applications.

This is a superb and extremely practical book. If you're building Java-based Web server applications, this is a book you need to have next to your terminal, if only for the 300 pages of reference material in the Appendices! --Simon Bisson
