J2EE Design Patterns
|
 Website

Review It
|
Architects of buildings and architects of software have more in common than most people think. Both professions require attention to detail, and both practitioners will see their work collapse around them if they make too many mistakes. Its impossible to imagine a world in which buildings get built without blueprints, but it`s still common for software applications to be designed and built without blueprints, or in this case, design patterns.
A software design pattern can be identified as `a recurring solution to a recurring problem.` Using design patterns for software development makes sense in the same way that architectural design patterns make sense—it if works well in one place, why not use it in another? But developers have had enough of books that simply catalog design patterns without extending into new areas, and books that are so theoretical that you can`t actually do anything better after reading them than you could before you started.
Crawford and Kaplan`s J2EE Design Patterns approaches the subject in a unique, highly practical and pragmatic way: Rather than simply present another catalog of design patterns, the authors broaden the scope by discussing ways to choose design patterns when building an enterprise application from scratch, looking closely at the real world tradeoffs that Java developers must weigh when architecting their applications.. Then they go on to show how to apply the patterns when writing realworld software. They also extend design patterns into areas not covered in other books, presenting original patterns for data modeling, transaction / process modeling, and interoperability.
J2EE Design Patterns offers extensive coverage of the five problem areas enterprise developers face:
Maintenance (Extensibility) Performance (System Scalability) Data Modeling (Business Object Modeling) Transactions (process Modeling Messaging (Interoperability)
And with its careful balance between theory and practice, J2EE Design Patterns will give developers new to the Java enterprise development arena a solid understanding of how to approach a wide variety of architectural and procedural problems, and will give experienced J2EE pros an opportunity to extend and improve on their existing experience.

Java Examples in a Nutshell: A Tutorial Companion to Java in a Nutshell

Review It
|
Aimed at those who have some previous Java experience, Java Examples in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition provides an outstanding collection of code samples that are designed to help you improve your programming skills--by studying code that works. With over 150 expert examples that illustrate a wide range of Java APIs, this volume definitely can bring your knowledge of Java to the next level.
Many programming titles rely on code excerpts to illustrate key programming concepts. This book reverses that approach by emphasizing the code itself, enhancing it with introductory material and explanations. While some short examples illustrate simple algorithms (such as random-number generation and sorting), many of the examples are substantial: for example, how to create a multithreaded Web server, a proxy server, and even a simple Web browser (by using built-in Swing classes for a user interface). These longer examples occupy several pages; generally, they`re well-commented models of coding clarity.
This second edition adds extensive support for the Java 2 JDK 1.3 standard. Later sections provide sample code on most recent developments in enterprise APIs, including Swing, JDBC, and XML. This text concludes with one of the best short tutorials that you`re likely to find anywhere on JSP and servlet programming, including excellent detail on deploying JSP-based Web applications.
Although it`s designed to be a companion title to Java in a Nutshell and other O`Reilly Java offerings, there`s little doubt that this book stands on its own quite well. And, given the short exercises at the end of every chapter that help you expand your command of Java features and APIs, this is a worthy and up-to-date resource for all levels of Java programmers. --Richard Dragan

Java Cookbook

The Java Cookbook is a comprehensive collection of problems, solutions, and practical examples for anyone programming in Java. Developers will find hundreds of tried-and-true Java `recipes` covering all of the major APIs as well as some APIs that aren`t as well documented in other Java books.
The Java Cookbook, like the bestselling Perl Cookbook, covers a lot of ground, and offers Java developers short, focused pieces of code that can be easily incorporated into other programs. The idea is to focus on things that are useful, tricky, or both. The book includes code segments covering many specialized APIs--like media and servlets--and should serve as a great `jumping-off place` for Java developers who want to get started in areas outside of their specialization.
The book provides quick solutions to particular problems that can be incorporated into other programs, but that aren`t usually programs in and of themselves.

Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is an application development platform for building robust enterprise systems. J2EE includes numerous Java APIs and tools including Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages, and Servlets. Developers looking to leverage this complex platform need guidance not only on the features of each tool, but on using them together to create real-world systems.
J2EE Developer`s Handbook provides both -- discussing the tools in the context of practical J2EE applications which demonstrate every aspect of J2EE development. In the Spring of 2003, Sun will relase J2EE 1.4 which includes numerous updates and new features such as JSP 2.0, EJB 2.1, and new APIs for creating J2EE Web Services and using the J2EE Connector Architecture.

Ideal for any programmer working with server-side Java, Marty Hall`s More Servlets and JavaServer Pages provides an up-to-the-minute guide to the latest in essential APIs for creating state-of-the-art Web applications. This smart, patient, and thorough tutorial gives you exactly what you need to use Java effectively in the field.
While many books on Java try to cover just about everything, this title`s focus on what`s hot in server-side Java makes it a standout. The book begins with a very solid tutorial to servlets and JSPs, including important HTTP fundamentals (like request headers and processing forms). The author does a good job at summarizing APIs and common options, which helps make this book useful as a working reference, too. The level of discussion here is suited to those with a little Java experience, but even beginners could do a lot worse than this title as an introduction to Web programming.
A great feature of this text is that the author walks you through the actual details of deploying your Web applications (notoriously tricky, even for experts). Screenshots on installing and using tools (like the free Apache and Tomcat software packages), plus detailed advice on deployment, will make sure your code actually runs. (A standout here is the summary of all configuration options available in today`s containers.)
If you are coming to servlets and JSPs from an earlier version, you`ll find this text excels at covering the latest in custom and standard tag libraries. Besides explaining new JSP 1.2 tag conventions, later sections also look at an important new development in Sun`s evolution of the Java platform, the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL). Coverage of tag programming (including several sections on looping) closes out the book. There`s also material on important new advances in servlets, like filters (which allow you to log or change requests) and servlet events (which afford a greater measure of control for your Web applications).
Whether you are a JSP beginner or expert, More Servlets and JavaServer Pages gives you an excellent mix of topics in server-side Java in a well-presented programming tutorial. It`s sure to be a worthwhile addition to any working Java Web developer`s bookshelf. --Richard Dragan

The java language has been growing from strength to strength since its inception in 1995. It has since proved to be both powerful and extraordinarily easy to learn and use. This is what makes it ideal for the beginner. With dramatic changes to it`s handling of files, and the introduction of native support for XML, java has been updated to work faster and to be current with the incredible rise of XML as a medium for communicating data.
This edition of the Beginning Java books outlines everything the beginning programmer needs to know to program with the Java programming language and the 1.4 Java Developer Kit. With the release of JDK 1.4, programmers can look forward to the most stable edition yet, and even better performance than was available previously.
Ivor`s inimitable style has proved to be a hit with nearly half a million people with its easy to learn approach and the many useful examples. Regularly voted the most popular java programming book, this book teaches java from scratch and assumes no previous knowledge. It is also suitable for those who have got some programm ing experience, especially C or C++, which will make learning easier. Either way you will soon become expert in creating your own programs.
It includes a full explanation of Object Oriented programming. A comprehensive introduction to swing is accompanied by a significant application that you will develop through the last half of the book, and which demonstrates all of the necessary skills for creating fully features java applications.
To add to this, help from your peers and from the author are available through the unique programmer to programmer mailing lists, forums, and newsgroups all in addition to our one-to-one email support helping you to overcomes any difficulties, and work through the exercises with programmers just like yourself.

The Java(TM) Developers Almanac 1.4, Volume 1: Examples and Quick Reference (4th Edition)

While Java started out simply enough with relatively few objects and APIs, today`s Java 2, Standard Edition (J2SE), bundles over 2,100 classes. The Java Developers Almanac provides a truly valuable reference to nearly all the classes and APIs in standard Java. This `white pages` for Java puts all classes and APIs at your fingertips, along with short samples that illustrate essential programming tasks.
It`s a compliment to say that this title resembles a telephone book. With over 1,000 pages (and printed on similar paper stock), The Java Developers Almanac, like a phone book, is organized alphabetically. Early sections look at Java 2 classes by package, such as graphics (including Java 2D), file I/O, network programming, and AWT and Swing. Early sections include several hundred short code excerpts, which provide key programming solutions.
The heart of this text is an A-to-Z compendium of over 2,100 Java classes, and a whopping 24,000 methods and properties. Readers get a listing of what`s in each class, along with prototype and arguments. As an `almanac,` the book contains no room for explaining what each method does--by using a clever set of symbols, however, each listing provides the details of each method (such as which ones are `final,` `static,` and the like), plus the version of Java in which each method first appeared (JDK 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3). These reference sections set a new standard of clarity for documenting classes. (Method and property names are aligned in the middle of the page, regardless of return type; a typographic convention that makes it easy to find what you need quickly.)
Later sections provide useful references that list the changes from Java 1.0 through 1.3, as well as PersonalJava, the Java Native Interface (JNI), plus some of the details of the Java Virtual Machine (with a listing of byte codes). An innovative index cross-references all methods and classes (including where objects are used as parameters and return values). Truly encyclopedic and remarkably well organized, this book is a virtual must-have for any serious Java developer. --Richard Dragan

Computers are so much a part of our daily lives that many of us take them for granted. You turn on your PC, connect to the Internet and check your stocks, your e-mail, or the weather report, write a note to Grandma, or relax for half an hour by shooting make-believe lasers at make-believe aliens. But if you ever wonder “how do they make a computer do that?” then you may be a candidate for Beginning Programming with Java™ For Dummies®.
If you’re ready to take the plunge into programming, Java is a wonderful place to start.
You can write Java code for any operating system. A cool device called the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) will translate your code so it can be understood by your Windows system, your neighbor’s Mac, or your nerdy cousin’s Unix box. Java is a good place to begin learning programming. And not only can programming be fun, it can also be a lucrative career.
Author Barry Burd breaks down Java programming into fun and manageable bites – or bytes. He walks you through downloading and setting up the Java compiler, JVM, and Java API, and then away you go! You’ll be able to
Explore the parts of a program
Discover methods, variables, values, and types
Find out how the computer turns your program into the zeros and ones it understands
See how your computer makes decisions and how your program directs its choices
Create loops, use arrays, and program with objects and classes
Translate the mysteries of some common error messages – and fix the problems they reveal
Once you discover the joys of Java programming, you just might find you’re hooked. You’ll be able to make that machine do your bidding, at least some of the time. You may find yourself thinking of programming like a game of strategy, in which it’s up to you to find the secret passageway, decipher the magic words, and save the princess. Sound like fun? Here’s the place to start.
