Amazon.co.uk Review
Java Enterprise in a Nutshell gives advanced Java developers a one-stop resource for programming with the disparate APIs required for today's enterprise development, including JDBC, RMI, servlets and EJBs. Beginning with JDBC database programming, the book gives a chapter-by-chapter tour of various enterprise development APIs, including program strategies for each API. For JDBC, the book includes new Java 2 JDBC enhancements like batch and recordsets.

Next comes Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) classes for calling remote code. Then it's on to using Java IDL and CORBA basics. A chapter on Java servlets will get you started delivering dynamically generated HTML using Java on Web servers, including useful material on cookies and session management. After coverage of the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) comes a solid exploration of EJBs with material on both session and entity beans. Specifics here include home and remote interfaces, EJB containers, stateless vs stateful session beans, and entity beans for accessing corporate databases.

Overall, this handy and readable guide to the latest in Java APIs can be truly invaluable to the developer bringing Java to the corporate enterprise for the first time. --Richard Dragan

Book Description
Java Enterprise in a Nutshell is an indispensable quick reference for Java programmers who are writing distributed enterprise applications. The book provides fast-paced tutorials on the following Java Enterprise APIs:

JDBC, a vendor-independent API for accessing relational database systems

RMI, a Java-only approach to distributed computing that relies on remote method invocation

Java IDL, a CORBA-based, language-independent approach to distributed computing

Java servlets, a mechanism for extending a web server that allows Java code to perform tasks traditionally handled by CGI scripts

JNDI, a generic Java API for working with networked naming and directory services

Enterprise JavaBeans, a component model that separates high-level business logic from low-level housekeeping chores like security and transaction management

These APIs are the building blocks of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), Sun's recently announced new platform for enterprise computing. J2EE is the standard Java 2 platform with a number of extensions for enterprise development.

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell also contains O'Reilly's classic-style, quick-reference material for all of the classes in the various packages that comprise the Enterprise APIs. This material includes the core Enterprise APIs that are part of Java 1.2, as well as numerous standard extensions.

This book is a companion to both Java in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition, which covers the key non-graphical, non-enterprise APIs in Java 1.2, and Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, which describes the graphics- and GUI-related classes of Java 1.2.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: A quick reference masterpiece - but does not stand alone., 21 Jan 2000 By A Customer Java Enterprise in a Nutshell contains the standard treatment from O'Reilly of its subject. A "must-have" for enterprise developers who prefer paper, rather than on-line, documentation. The book describes itself as "an indispensable quick reference", and this is exactly what it is - the descriptions are cursory, but the quick reference section is a masterpiece, and every reference book should have indexes like the two in this book. The book is excellent value as a memory jogger for practising developers, but for beginners, students and the answers to detailed questions, use a different book.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Brief - and you'll probably need to refer to more in depth sources to expand on any of the subjects as each subject is covered in just one chapter. Can get wordy.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I especially liked the SQL reference.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 5 customer reviews...		Most Recent Customer Reviews If your new to Java database programming this is the book Superb introduction to JDBC and ODBC and MySql connectivity along with how to make a Enterprise system have RMI connectivity. Must buy. - Vikram www.FaeLLe.com Published on 27 April 2005 by Mr. V. Mohan Not as deep as some, but great value for money One of the seemingly endless "in a Nutshell" series from O'Reilly, this book follows the basic series format.
