Review It
|
JSTL is a Java standard for developing dynamic web sites. It gives non-programmers access to powerful operations through HTML-like tags. This makes JSTL an evolutionary step forward in simplifying the Java web platform.
JSTL in Action introduces and shows off JSTL`s capabilities. It includes lots of useful code snippets so you can start using JSTL quickly. Large, working examples show you how to tie JSTL`s features together. The book shows how to manipulate XML, use relational databases, format text, internationalize web applications, and an advanced part of the book covers configuration and integration of Java code with JSTL.
This book is written both for programmers and page authors. The coverage is comprehensive and still manages to guide the reader through the subject gently and with humor.
Assuming a working knowledge of HTML, this guide provides instructions for creating web pages without programming. The book explains each feature of JSTL and demonstrate its application with numerous examples. Charts, diagrams, and screen captures illustrate the techniques and principles described. The source code is available on a free companion web page. Bayern is a research programmer at Yale University.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

Enterprise JMS Programming can put enterprise-level development with the Java Message Service into the hands of any capable Java developer. This book successfully mixes a tutorial to the JMS API itself and a discussion of the `big picture` concepts you need to know to architect large systems that use messaging effectively.
What distinguishes this title is the clear-as-crystal perspective on what messaging is and how to implement various messaging architectures. This book is far from just a listing of JMS APIs. The author outlines basic messaging concepts, including synchronous and asynchronous processing, plus the publish/subscribe and point-to-point models of message distribution. Early working code examples show off basic message operations (like sending and receiving messages). Then it`s on to a nicely packaged demo of using a message-driven bean from Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0. A notable section looks at the various available JMS message types (and when and how to use them).
The book then covers larger concepts like transactions and security in JMS and the issues that you`ll need to consider when designing secure and reliable enterprise messaging systems. The author looks at ways to make sure your messaging code is as fast and reliable as it can be. (He walks the reader through scenarios in which message queues can fill up, and in one good example, shows how orders for an online store build up in the queue in one business day.) A discussion of administration tasks is followed by real advice and screen shots using BEA WebLogic Application Server 6.1, a popular choice for J2EE/JMS deployment.
Final chapters really excel at guiding the user in designing JMS applications by providing hypothetical case studies for no less than four separate scenarios. Using intranet, extranet, and high-volume Internet systems, these examples and the designs outlined here will ensure that you can correctly apply JMS to a wide variety of enterprise-class problems. A final listing of all JMS APIs rounds out this book.
Overall, Enterprise JMS Programming sets a high standard for any programming text with its stellar presentation style and clear code examples, which provide the best of theory backed up with practical advice. It`s sure to be an extremely worthwhile resource for any developer facing a JMS project. --Richard Dragan

Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code
|

Learning to design objects effectively with Java is the goal of Beginning Java Objects: From Concepts to Code, an intensive yet approachable guide to object design, using UML and today`s hottest programming language. Plenty of titles dig into the Java language in massive detail, but this one steps back and looks at object design first. The details of Java, from basic language features to a simple tutorial for building user interfaces in Swing, emerge only after a thorough tour of thinking in objects.
The book takes readers through object design, from the very beginning, at a relaxed pace. While you get all of the necessary jargon for really learning the object paradigm (for example, there`s full coverage of such concepts as data encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism), the tutorial is likely to reach more readers. Without being doctrinaire about the design process, the author walks you through the steps for `discovering` objects in a business problem (including classes, attributes, and operations) and then determining how these objects work together to model real-world problems. The sample class diagrams offer quite a rich level of detail, and a single case study for a student course registration database demonstrates the design principles, including extensive class diagrams.
By the end of the book, this set of classes is transformed into working Java code, with a simple Swing-based user interface. Although the book cuts a few corners--such as using tab-delimited data instead of JDBC (a must for business programmers)--there`s little doubt that this lively approach to mastering Java will benefit a wide range of readers. If ever you`ve been unsure about what object-oriented design really means, Beginning Java Objects can demystify important concepts and put the power of objects within your reach. --Richard Dragan

JSTL : Practical Guide for JSP Programmers

Review It
|
Web developers and page authors who use JavaServer Pages (JSP) know that it is much easier and efficient to implement web pages without reinventing the wheel each time. In order to shave valuable time from their development schedules, those who work with JSP have created, debugged, and used custom tags—a set of programmable actions that provide dynamic behavior to static pages—paving the way towards a more common, standard approach to using Java technology for web development. The biggest boost to this effort however has only recently arrived in the form of a standard set of tag libraries, known as the JSTL, which now provides a wide range of functionality and gives web page authors a much more simplified approach to implementing dynamic, Java-based web sites.
JSTL: Practical Guide for JSP Programmers is a timely resource for anyone interested in doing large-scale J2EE application development. It sticks to the main features of the JSTL so that developers don`t have to sift through unnecessary details to begin using the tags and working with the expression language. Sue Spielman`s straight-forward, practical approach is enhanced with numerous code samples and insightful descriptions to make learning the JSTL a quickly and easily accomplished task.
* Written by a best-selling author with a wealth of development experience and recognition in the Java community.
* Covers the core elements of the JSTL including the four standard tag libraries (core, internationalization/format, XML, and SQL) and expression language.
* Includes a reference section for all of the tabs and attributes contained in the JSTL.
* Via a companion web site, provides downloadable code for the code samples in the book.

Learn to Program with Java

Whether you are brand new to programming in general or coming to Java from another language, John Smiley`s Learn to Program with Java offers a truly approachable tutorial designed with the beginner in mind. Covering Java syntax and essential programming concepts, this text can be used at home to simulate a semester`s worth of Java study.
Like Smiley`s previous titles, the salient feature of this text is the author`s scenario-based presentation style. Instead of addressing the reader directly, Smiley simulates the experience of about 18 first-semester programming students facing Java for the first time. As the students develop a grade calculation project in Java (and improve it with object-oriented features later on), basic questions are raised and answered with the reader `overhearing` the author`s consistently clear and patient explanation of key programming concepts.
While this approach is certainly not for those in a hurry, it can do the trick for the programming newbie. With an extensive Q&A for each step, Smiley covers most every conceivable obstacle and confusion. (The questions presented here are drawn from his extensive real-world teaching experience.)
After covering the basics of today`s iterative software development cycle (a reminder to plan before you write any code), the book implements a grade-averaging program used for several departments at a hypothetical college. Smiley rehearses the discussions of the potential users of this application, as well as the students who then build it. The simple program is a good one as it allows the author to introduce basic Java syntax, as well as fundamental programming concepts (like variables and loops), without getting too bogged down in complexity.
Once the basic program has been built, Smiley introduces using objects to solve the same problem. His guide to basic object-oriented design, as well as how to code basic objects in Java, is once again clear and sensible. If the `big picture` behind using objects has eluded you, the practical presentation offered here may well help things click. By the end of the book, the final version of the program gets enhanced with support for arrays, plus a basic graphical user interface built with simple Swing components.
Most introductory programming texts try to cover everything at once, a temptation that`s especially great with the rich (and complex) Java platform. The streamlined set of lessons here help make this title a good choice for Java newbies who want a patient and really approachable beginner`s tutorial. --Richard Dragan

Aimed at the more experienced Java Web developer, Advanced JavaServer Pages covers leading-edge techniques for writing more maintainable Web applications in Java. Stressing custom tag libraries and other reusable components, this book is all you need to take your programming skills to the next level.
There are any number of good introductory texts on JavaServer Pages. This title distinguishes itself with techniques recommended by Sun for building better Web applications. Backed up by the author`s own collection of custom tag libraries, which allow ordinary Web designers to program with tags instead of Java code, this text covers all the bases from getting started with tags to more advanced techniques. Early examples of tag libraries include a variety of ways to validate data in HTML forms. Throughout, the book deftly describes installing tag libraries, and shows how HTML designers can use custom tags after Java developers have created them.
Readers also get best practices for JSP and Beans, which is a big plus. Author David Geary presents both Model 1 and Model 2 architectures. (In Model 1, JavaBeans are used to present data to front-end JSPs. In Model 2, a more sophisticated set of Java classes using the Model-View-Controller design pattern allows even greater flexibility.) Sample code for using JSP and JavaBeans for internationalized code (including French, German, and Chinese) will show you how to take your Web application to worldwide markets. The book concludes with a working case study of an online fruit stand (using several languages) and applies the techniques presented earlier on.
All in all, with its mix of practical advice and some very useful techniques for getting the most out of JSP and Java for Web applications, Advanced JavaServer Pages fills a valuable niche for any serious Java developer who wants to see some of the best ways to create Web applications today. --Richard Dragan
