Product Description
Java, one of the most popular programming languages, can be used on servers in a true distributed environment. This book demonstrates how to take full advantage of Java's power on servers by using current technologies such as Java Servlets, Java Web server, and JNDI. It also covers established technologies that are relevant to successful server application development such as Java Database Connectivity, Remote Method Invocation, JavaBeans, and CORBA. Transaction processing, distributed objects, and business application development are part of the book's enterprise development perspective.
From the Publisher
Recent reviews of Server-Based Java Programming"This book is a voice of reason in Sun's flood of J2EE (especially EJB) hype. It's a wholly remarkable Java book. Ted Neward should be rewarded and congratulated for this book, it sets a new standard in content quality for Java books..." --Slashdot.org
"It's fairly rare for a book to take an angle on a broad topic that yields meaningful new insights...Reading this book can make the difference between being a good Java programmer and an excellent one...Neward brings new
information to the table and easily lifts this book above the crowd, supplementing instead of mimicking existing server books...The class loader coverage is second to none, clearly explaining the ins and outs of class loader development across four comprehensive chapters. You should find this book a good investment if you frequently do server-based work in Java." --JavaZone.com
