Product Description

Sun's own J2EE architects and enterprise development consultants have written the definitive guide to developing complete enterprise solutions with Java 2 Enterprise Edition, Version 1.3. This new edition fully reflects Sun's latest Version 1.3 technologies and enhancements, and covers every component of a complete enterprise solution: client-side, middleware, and back-end. The authors begin by introducing the J2EE Version 1.3 platform, reviewing several scenarios for using it to build Internet and intranet applications, and offering detailed introductions to each key J2EE technology. Using both code snippets and a complete, start-to-finish case study, they walk through the construction of Web-based clients based on Java Servlets and Java ServerPages (JSP), middle-tier solutions utilizing Enterprise JavaBeans, and backend connections based on JDBC technology. Coverage also includes: packaging and deploying J2EE applications; automatic and programmatic techniques for managing transactions; and leveraging J2EE's robust security features. For all software developers, architects, and IT managers working with Java 2 Enterprise Edition or providing J2EE-based products.

"The Java™ BluePrints Team has done it again. This book is an indispensable asset to all J2EE™ developers and should never be far from reach."

--John Crupi, coauthor of Core J2EE™ Patterns, Distinguished Engineer, Sun Java Center, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, offers developers a simplified, component-based approach to creating applications for intranets and the Internet.

As part of the highly regarded Java BluePrints program, Designing Enterprise Applications with the J2EE™ Platform, Second Edition, describes the key architectural and design issues in applications supported by the J2EE™ platform and offers practical guidelines for both architects and developers. It explores key J2EE platform features such as Java servlets, JavaServer Pages™, and Enterprise JavaBeans™ component models, as well as the JDBC™ API, Java Message Service API, and J2EE Connector Architecture. It also discusses security, deployment, transaction management, internationalization, and other important issues for today's applications.

Through code samples and a full e-commerce application example, this book provides concrete guidelines to mastering the J2EE platform. Highlights include:

An introduction to the J2EE platform, the applications it supports, and the technologies it provides
Discussions on how to design Web-based applications using Java servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies
Architectural guidelines for designing Enterprise JavaBeans components for scalability, reliability, and performance
How to connect J2EE applications to existing systems and applications using JDBC and J2EE Connector technologies
Design motivations behind the widely used Java Pet Store demo application
A glossary of J2EE and enterprise computing terminology

Essential read for designing J2EE applications 10 May 2002

By "dustinsand" - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

A must read for seasoned professionals and those new to the subject. Invaluable insights and guidelines are detailed at every tier of architecting a J2EE enterprise application. I found myself frequently relating to the examples and wishing I had read this book to help with earlier projects. This would have saved hours of re-factoring because the authors have already detailed solutions to common design problems.

If you are looking for code examples, don't look here. Code examples throughout the book are minimal; however this book is not about code examples, the purpose is to provide proven principles for architecting and developing J2EE applications. Instead, one chapter describes the design of the sample Java Pet Store application in regards to the books principles.

I now have a better understanding of the J2EE platform and how to apply its technologies. I will be referring back to this book often!

An overview of technologies and architectural models 15 May 2002

By uniq - Published on Amazon.com

The book is a high level overview of the application design with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. It may be helpful for someone who wants to know how different architectural choices and technologies fit together in an enterprise application.

It starts with an introduction to different enterprise application scenarios (Stand-Alone, Web-Centric, EJB-Centric, B2B, etc.), and then goes on discussing each of the architectural tiers in detail. In addition, in separate chapters it covers important issues like security, transaction management, internationalization, and localization.

As a rule, each chapter gives an overview of the involved technologies, considers most important issues, and provides some tips on design and proper usage. Available tools are also discussed. Each chapter is followed by a list of references and resources. Many resources have URLs.

The last chapter presents an architecture of the sample application. Unfortunately, quite a bit of space in this chapter is wasted reiterating general pros and cons of distributed and local architectures. My impression is that the author of this particular chapter (each chapter in the book is written by a different author or group of authors) assumes that the reader does not have any prior knowledge about the subject and have not read preceding chapters.

A few code samples in the entire book illustrate some points in the discussion; the code snippets are neither complete nor complex, and obviously are not written for reuse.

Informative, Comprehensive but not drilled-down 28 April 2002

By Y. Ho - Published on Amazon.com

This book (2n Edition) is informative in the context of offering a comprehensive overview of various design concept involved in each tier of the J2EE application. If you are trying to envision what a J2EE platform can do for you, this is a good book to grab. While it provides some insight on design consideration, however, it defers the readers to seek for J2EE vendor implementation rather than offering a solution. Nevertheless, it does point out some advantage/disadvantage or the trade-off associated with choosing different implementation. It also provides some coverage on design patterns, framework (struts), security, transaction and state management ...or stateful EJB session bean. If you are involved in a J2EE project, this book will serve as a good reference for high-level design concept which puts together all J2EE related knowledge that you might have learned from elsewhere.
