Product Description
This is not a beginner's guide: it's an enterprise developer's guide to building industrial-strength servlets. Jeff Genender shows exactly how to dramatically improve servlet performance, reliability, and scalability, while simplifying coding and maintenance in large-scale development environments. This book brings together in-depth tutorials, case studies, and reference materials for advanced real-world servlet development. It draws heavily on the author's own experience in developing servlet architectures from scratch and transforming inferior servlet applications into stable, reliable software. Among the topics covered: creating a reusable base servlet architecture that accelerates development and streamlines maintenance; improving error handling; establishing processes that allow multiple developers to work on the same server projects; and using servlets in sophisticated load balancing and fault tolerance applications. For all enterprise developers working with servlets and related technologies, and for Web developers who need to replace their current server-side technologies with a more powerful solution.
From the Back Cover
Learn to design and build a base enterprise servlet. Create an architecture that makes your enterprise applications run faster and more reliably.
Java™ servlets are rapidly replacing CGI as the tool of choice for creating interactive applications for the enterprise market. Using the Java programming language's servlet technology speeds up the application development process, freeing developers from the need to make platform-specific modifications. Servlet technology is reliable, employs reusable components, and ensures high performance in the demanding enterprise and e-commerce markets.
Enterprise Java™ Servlets anticipates common issues and provides new development methods, extensive sample code, and case studies. The book is based on a battle-tested base servlet architecture that the author and his team created while repairing a workflow application for clients. Jeff noticed that many corporations and development shops ran into the same problems and pitfalls time and time again. This book chronicles Jeff's experiences creating a servlet-based architecture, which helps avoid issues that are continually encountered and provides for rapid application development in the enterprise. The type of architecture presented here eliminates the need to code servlets from scratch and automatically provides each servlet with access to all the new features and solutions added to the base servlet. This type of single-servlet approach results in a single, consistent application that is easy to migrate to production and extend to new applications.
You'll find expert coverage of various topics, including:
- HTML development in servlets
- How templates assist in content management
- Pool objects that streamline the use of objects and database connections in a Web environment
- Integrating LDAP into a Java servlet application
- Dynamic image generation and pluggable security models for servlets
- Multiple applications running on a single server and the effect on session, component, and application variables
Geared to developers who have a working knowledge of servlet development, this book provides the base servlet architecture--complete with extensive code samples and numerous case studies--that you can build on when writing enterprise applications. Using base servlet architecture removes the drudgery of developing servlets, so you can concentrate on business needs.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes code examples, as well as Windows and UNIX versions of JRun, ServletExec, and Apache Tomcat Servlet Container.
