Book Description
Java has evolved into a robust, high performance programming language that is well suited to a range of different environments, be it on a middle tier Application Server or a client browser. Regardless of the architecture of your application you are using, it will almost certainly need to make use of data that is stored in some form of database. Relational databases are the data store of choice in the vast majority of businesses, and have also evolved enormously over the recent years, into powerful and feature-rich data management systems.
This book aims to teach you how to use these two powerful technologies to build successful Java database applications. You will find out how relational databases work and how you can use them in your Java programs, through the JDBC interface. You will see how to apply your new skills in an enterprise environment and by the end will be building sophisticated web-enabled Java database applications that incorporate other technologies, such as XML.
This book covers:
Using the JDBC API to build database-driven Java applications
Introduction to new JDBC 3.0 features
SQL and relational database design
Object-relational mapping frameworks and techniques
Debugging your application and logging its activities
Applying Java and JDBC skills in a J2EE environment
Integrating XML into you Java database applications
Synopsis
Java is a fast maturing development platform. The cross platform programming interfaces it provides now cover every aspect of development from smartcards to enterprise systems. It is increasingly important to transport and manipulate data throughout Java applications, to and from a variety of databases. Developers need to understand and learn the technologies/API's in Java and how they can use them efficiently for Data manipulation. This book teaches the actual mechanics of database design and manipulation using Java. Assuming some prior knowledge of Java, the reader will learn how to design database applications in Java using JDBC and also introducing SQLJ and JDO across a variety of databases. This will be taught through the lifecycle of a real world administration application, developed throughout the book.
