* 1st and only book to market on the open source Spring MVC and Web Flows, positioned to become the new "Struts." * Will be the only authoritative solution, by the Spring MVC and Spring Web Flows project leads themselves. * Two markets for this book. 1) Ex-patriots from the Struts world who have developed numerous web applications, but are looking for more and willing to take the initiative to experiment with new solutions; and 2) early adopter web developers into Web Flow, which has created a lot of buzz and will generate interest around this book as well as Spring MVC.

If you want exposure to the new open source lightweight SOA-driven Apache Beehive framework project, then pick up Pro Apache Beehive, the first book on this MVC Web framework, which is increasingly gaining interest in the Eclipse community through Eclipse Pollinate. Author Kunal Mittal addresses specific Beehive topics such as page flows, controls, JSR 181 web services, XMLBeans and more.This book proceeds to describe how these technologies are used in WebLogic Workshop, and how other IDEs are extending support for these technologies. Mittal also compares PageFlows in Workshop to the Standard.

EJB 3.0 sets a precedent. It has made huge advances in ease of development, and its drastically simplified programming model has been widely acclaimed.Mike Keith, EJB 3.0 co-specification lead, and Merrick Schinariol, reviewer of EJB 3.0, offer unparalleled insight and expertise on the EJB 3.0 persistence specification, in this definitive guide to EJB 3.0 persistence technology. Expect full coverage and examination of the EJB 3.0 spec from these expert authors, including: The EntityManager API The new features of EJB Query Language (EJB QL) Basic and advanced object-relational mapping Advanced topics like concurrency, locking, inheritance, and polymorphism Assuming a basic knowledge of Java, SQL, JDBC, and some J2EE experience, Keith and Schinariol will teach you EJB 3.0 persistence from the ground up. After reading it, you will have an in-depth understanding of the EJB 3.0 persistence API and how to use it in your applications.

Pro Apache Ant is ideal for Java developers who need to use the leading open source build tool out there for development and project management. It is organized around chronological tasks instead of alphabetical functions, using a sample application throughout the set-up, from calling database scripts to unit testing.Practical examples are used at every stage and each task includes a concrete example. The configuration files are XML based, so there’s no need for you to write shell commands. Each task is run by an object that implements a particular task interface. And if you really need to execute a shell command, Ant has a task that allows different commands based on the operating system.

The Sun Certified Developer for the Java 2 Platform assignment offers a unique opportunity for Java developers to put their Java skills to practical use without requiring any specific dev- opment or runtime environment. The assignment also provides a great learning environment as many different APIs can be used, and many alternative solutions can be provided. This book introduces many of the concepts you will need to know in order to pass the SCJD assignment. Many developers are a little daunted by the scope of the assignment, as it covers everything from a back-end database, a server application, a front-end application, API documentation, and user documention. This book covers each section in detail, helping you gradually build up your knowledge of each topic while working toward a sample project. This book will also introduce you to the new features of JDK 5, providing contextual usage of the new APIs and features within our sample project. The Sun assignment deliberately does not specify an operating system platform or dev- opment environment to be used-all that is needed is a computer capable of running a current version of the JDK. Throughout this book we have used JDK 5 on Windows 2000. Since this book introduces JDK 5 features, and uses them throughout our sample project, you will need JDK 5 to run our sample applications; however, the sample application is not dependent on Windows 2000.

Welcome to the fourth edition of Professional JSP, designed to help new and experienced Java developers alike discover the power (and even the joy) of creating Java-based server-side solutions for the Web by using JavaServer Pages, or JSP for short. If you've programmed with JSP before, you'll find that the new features in JSP 2.1 make developing JSP pages easier than ever before. If you only know a little Java, this is your chance to add JSP to your toolbox skills. JSP is a server-side technology that takes the Java language, with its inherent simplicity and elegance, and uses it to create highly interactive and flexible web applications. In today's unsure economic climate, having the Java language as the cornerstone of JSP makes JSP part- ularly compelling for business: Because Java is an open language (meaning it doesn't require expensive licenses), JSP solutions can be highly cost-effective. The founding premise of JSP is that HTML can be used to create the basic structure of a web page, and Java code can be mixed in with the HTML to provide the dynamic components of the page that modern web users expect. If you understand the concepts of HTML and web pages, JSP provides an unbeatable way to learn about creating innovative, interactive content as well as coming to grips with the popular language of Java. This book will be your guide as you step into this exciting new world.

*Covers only Tomcat 5/5.5 release without explaining tasks on older versions; competitors still only offer Tomcat 4. *Focuses on administration, while competing books rehash JSP and Servlet development. *Solo author means a single voice. Competitors are all collaborations.
