Review It
|
This book helps experienced Java developers to build high-value mobile applications that take advantage of enterprise IT infrastructures. It also helps developers to add mobility features to existing enterprise solutions. It does not repeat the same basic J2ME/MIDP API tutorial covered by many other books.
After a comprehensive analysis of the landscape and trends of the J2ME platform, the book uses the source code of several award-winning, real world applications to illustrate the design, architecture and best practices of end-to-end smart mobile solutions. The comparison of competing application paradigms could prove invaluable to architects.
Then the book focuses on four most important enterprise application areas: Converged messaging (email, IM, mobile P2P as well as enterprise messaging middleware); data management (mobile and backend relational databases), ubiquitous integration (mobile Web services) and advanced security (J2ME cryptography). The book covers more than 30 commercial and open source tools from over 10 leading vendors (including IBM, Oracle, Sun, Sybase, Enhydra and much more). The detailed analysis help developers to choose the right tools. Over 300 code listings from sample applications (available for download from the book web site) are used to illustrate the application designs, coding techniques and third-party tool usages. This is a must-have book for enterprise mobile developers and architects.

Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide, 4th Edition
|

|
Newly revised and updated for Java 2 standards, the second edition of The Complete Java 2 Certification Study Guide is packed with information on what you`ll need to know to pass both the Sun Java Programmer and Developer Exams. With Java certification becoming ever more popular, this title is an essential resource for anyone who`s preparing for it.
The cover of the book asserts that one of its team authors actually contributes questions to Sun`s tests.
The goal here isn`t so much to beat the testmakers (although the book has plenty to say about test-taking strategy) as it is to master the finer points of Java that you`ll need to understand to succeed on the exam. The focus is on the areas that Sun has defined as important. The Programmer Exam--the first level of Sun certification--is covered first. Basic language features are reviewed, such as access specifiers, operators, and other keywords that will help make you an expert. (Some sections explain with great clarity the mysteries of Java`s `extra` shift operator and other features.) Other chapters cover threads and multithreading strategies, as well as user-interface design with layout managers (which Sun considers important).
The second half of the volume concentrates on the Developer Exam, a more free-form exercise in which programmers write custom code, based on a specification from Sun. Two case studies, one for a room-scheduling application and another for a trouble-ticket system that tracks requests for technical support, illustrate this test. As the solution is presented, you`ll learn how to build custom client/server software, and how to use Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and other advanced techniques. There`s also advice for the best programming styles and choices for passing this challenging exam.
As in the previous edition, each chapter in this book concludes with sample questions (about 10 each) to help you study. In the new edition, there`s now a full sample Programmer Exam (both printed and on the accompanying CD-ROM), which simulates the length and format of the real thing. In all, the new edition of this previously bestselling title will continue to provide helpful preparation for anyone who seeks Sun certification.
Despite the bulk (over 900 pages), this book actually makes for quick reading, and will help anyone decipher some of the more difficult aspects of the Java programming language. --Richard Dragan

Wireless Java: Developing with J2ME, Second Edition
|
Website

Review It
|
Although Java is incredibly popular, the standard edition of Java is way too big and way too bulky to build applications for wireless devices such as the PDAs and phones. Thus Sun has released `Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition` (J2ME). J2ME has the potential to be as revolutionary in the wireless space as Java has been in the server space.
Wireless Java: Developing with J2ME, Second Edition will be updated to include coverage of the next version of programs for mobile Java devices. The second edition will cover MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1, and the new information will be distinguishable so readers can still reference the book for MIDP 1.0/CLDC 1.0.
Book highlights include: * Complete coverage of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0 * Comprehensive coverage of MIDP 2.0`s security features, HTTPS support, user interface enhancements, and sound * All new material on the Media and Game APIs * Includes advanced chapters on performance tuning, XML parsing, and cryptography
AUTHOR BIO Jonathan Knudsen is a Java developer and noted author of several books, including Wireless Java: Developing with Java 2, Micro Edition(Apress), Mobile Java, The Unofficial Guide to LEGO MINDSTORMS Robots, Learning Java, and Java 2D Graphics. Jonathan began his object-oriented programming career in Objective-C on the NeXT OS, soon thereafter suffering through a couple of purgatorial years in Microsoft`s Visual C++ before graduating to Java in 1996. He has written extensively about Java and Lego robots, including five books, a monthly online column called `Bite-Size Java`, and articles for JavaWorld, EXE, NZZ Folio, and the O`Reilly Network. Jonathan holds a degree in mechanical engineering from Princeton University.

Jakarta Tomcat is not only the most commonly used open source servlet engine today, it`s become the de facto standard by which other servlet engines are measured. Powerful and flexible, it can be used as a stand-alone web server or in conjunction with another server, like Apache or IIS, to run servlets or JSPs. But mastery of Tomcat is not easy: because it`s as complex as it is complete. Tomcat: The Definitive Guide answers vexing questions that users, administrators, and developers alike have been asking. This concise guide provides much needed information to help harness Tomcat`s power and wealth of features.
Tomcat: The Definitive Guide offers something for everyone who uses Tomcat. System and network administrators will find detailed instructions on installation, configuration, and maintenance. For users, it supplies insightful information on how to deploy Tomcat. And seasoned enterprise Java developers will have a complete reference to setting up, running, and using this powerful software
The book begins with an introduction to the Tomcat server and includes an overview of the three types of server configurations: stand-alone, in-process, and out-of-process. The authors show how directories are laid out, cover the initial setup, and describe how to set the environment variables and modify the configuration files, concluding with common errors, problems, and solutions. In subsequent chapters, they cover:
The server.xml configuration file
Java Security manager
Authentication schemes and Tomcat users
The Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
Tomcat JDBC Realms
Installing servlets and Java Server Pages
Integrating Tomcat with Apache
Advanced Tomcat configuration
and much more.

Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Vol. 1: Core Technologies, Second Edition
|
Website

Review It
|
In the Java universe, the interface layer of the ubiquitous model-view-controller (MVC) software design paradigm is handled by either servlets of JavaServer Pages (JSP). The second edition of Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, like its predecessor, documents these handy technologies fully and practically. Far more than a straight API reference, this book presents examples--complete with code and a listing or screen shot showing results--wherever possible. It`s a fantastic strategy for communicating to programmers what they need to do in order to achieve the effects and behaviors they desire. What`s new in the second edition? Lots, in terms of its eponymous software development environments: The book covers servlets 2.4 and JSP 2.0. The examples are more refined, too, and more attention is paid to supporting technologies like Web and database servers.
The didactic approach of authors Marty Hall and Larry Brown is recipe-like. They typically begin with a statement of a problem to be solved, then discuss relevant aspects of the servlet or JSP API. A series of code listings follows, and screen shots showing results bring up the rear. The net effect is that it`s easy to spot relevant sections in the table of contents, it`s clear how implementation works (thanks to the extensive listings) and there`s no doubt about what the results are supposed to be. More elaborate examples show how servlets and JSP work in shopping cart, auction, and other applications. This is a significant and worthwhile update to an important Java book. --David Wall

Written for the experienced Java developer, Swing provides an in-depth guide to getting the most out of Sun`s Swing/JFC user interface classes. Mixing real-world code examples and expert advice on advanced features, this book shows how to make use of this powerful library effectively within your own projects.
The best thing about this text has to be its sample programs, many of which incorporate other Java APIs to do `real` work. For example, a demo of the scroll pane Swing component uses other JFC classes to display JPG images. For working with lists, the authors show how to process .ZIP files in Java. For demonstrating table programming, there`s coverage of JDBC to connect to databases. Other standout code samples include a working FTP client and a fully functional .RTF word processor. (Many of these examples are enhanced in separate steps, showing off new Swing classes and features along the way.) The authors do a particularly good job of annotating code with clear explanations referenced with numbered bullets that point out important lines of code.
The other noteworthy feature here is the material on extending basic Swing functionality through custom code. (To use Swing effectively, you definitely need to be able to customize its classes. The authors show you how.) There are examples for enhancing Swing with custom layout managers and numerous samples that extend trees and tables, and even a section on the basics of creating new pluggable look and feel (PLAF) modules for Swing.
With material here on virtually every component and API, plus advanced coverage on using and extending Swing, this in-depth tutorial will prove to be an indispensable resource. It`s ideal for any Java developer who wants to create powerful Swing interfaces for real-world projects. --Richard Dragan

JavaServer Pages, together with the Java Servlet API, provide the dynamic web content presentation layer for the Java 2 Enterprise Edition. JSPs and Servlets integrate tightly to enable scalable and portable applications, and are widely supported. This book extensively covers the next generation of these technologies, JSP 1.2 and Servlets 2.3, which are nearing completion under the Java Community Process and provide major enhancements to Java`s web programming model.
This book looks in depth at these core components of the forthcoming J2EE 1.3 platform, preparing you for building the next generation of web solutions. You`ll learn about the enhancements to the JSP tag library model; the new filtering and application event facilities; how to architect web applications to ensure clean separation of presentation and logic; and the increasingly popular Jakarta Struts framework. The book also addresses using JSP with XML and XSLT; databases access with JDBC; and how JSP and Servlets fit into the overall J2EE platform alongside Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaMail, and other J2EE technologies.

Web Development with JavaServer Pages

Web Development with JavaServer Pages is truly an excellent and in-depth tutorial in the effective use of JSPs to build Web applications. Geared toward the Web designer or intermediate Java programmer who`s making a transition to JSPs for the first time, this text contains a wealth of information on basic and advanced techniques.
This tutorial is as good as any that`s available, and covers all of the necessary JSP directives and syntax. For each directive, possible attributes are listed in convenient tables, which makes this also a worthwhile reference to everyday JSP development that explores the nooks and crannies of JSP APIs, and how pages are built (and cached) on today`s JSP platforms.
Web Development with JavaServer Pages also does a good job of showing how to design JavaBean components and integrate them into your JSPs through tags. (Ideally, beans should do the calculation and `thinking` on the middle tier, while JSPs work on the front end.) You`ll learn the right way to proceed with JSPs and beans--reinforced via a number of effective code samples. A larger example, a Web database of frequently asked questions (FAQs), demonstrates the big picture with JSPs and beans. Final chapters turn toward a useful aspect of JSP, custom tags, which allow Java programmers to extend the set of available tags for JSP front-end designers. There`s even a sample of interactive tags, in which tags work together with other tags, with sample code.
Filled with plenty of details that carry the reader well beyond the basics, this text is one of the better available tutorials for learning JSPs. Its no-nonsense presentation style and useful examples can help put JSP development into the hands of anyone who has some prior HTML or Java experience. --Richard Dragan
