Wrox specializes in books written by programmers, for programmers.
Professional Java Server Programming, a volume on developing
Java-based Web applications, is no different. All the 12 authors are
developers and consultants--including some who've been part of Sun's own
Java team.
The Web is becoming more and more a way of delivering applications
rather than just static Web pages. Java is becoming more and more popular
as a tool for building Web applications, thanks to Java servlets and Java
Server Pages. Professional Java Server Programming is a big book
full of code samples and real-world experience.
Starting with a grounding in Web application development and
technologies, the book introduces the various concepts of using Java to
deliver Web content--as well as helping to give you the tools you need to
work around the limitations of Web servers and Web browsers. You'll also
learn how to develop complex database-driven applications--and how to work
faster. Since this is a book on the cutting edge of Java development,
you'll also find sections on using Java with XML documents and LAP
directory servers, as well as Enterprise Java Beans. There's even a good
examination of the next generation of Java technologies--Jini and
JavaSpaces--with a look at how these can be used in Web applications.
This is a superb and extremely practical book. If you're building
Java-based Web server applications, this is a book you need to have next
to your terminal, if only for the 300 pages of reference material in the
appendices! --Simon Bisson, amazon.co.uk
Book Description
An overview of
the new server-side Java platform - Java 2 Enterprise Edition - as it
relates to building n-tier web applications.
It covers the building
blocks (Servlets, JSP, EJB, JDBC, RMI, JNDI, CORBA) then goes into special
design considerations for server side programming, (including resource
pooling and component based design) before finally discussing future
design possibilities opened up by Jini and JavaSpaces technology.
In a world where, increasingly, corporate IT development is Web
application development - ASP, PHP, CGI and ISAPI are all viable
options.
Now, so is the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition, and that's
good news because server-side Java is portable across Windows, Linux, UNIX
and MacOS and compatible with a wide range of Web Servers (IIS, Apache,
Netscape Enterprise Server) and Application Servers from Sun, IBM and
others.
Java provides technologies to allow for server side processing
(servlets), dynamic page content generation (servlets, beans) and dynamic
presentation (JavaServer Pages).
Java 2 Enterprise Edition - announced
by Sun in June 1999 - makes Java an entire platform, not just another
language.
With these comprehensive, platform independent Java class libraries,
developed with industry-wide input, you can join together the disparate
pieces of your business - data, applications and platforms - to form a
coherent whole.
This is the first book that seriously covers the Java 2 platform
Enterprise Edition (J2EE).

This books gives you a good overview of
the different Java technologies on the server-side. Learn all the
basics and buzz words of java technology. Get an advanced book if
you want to master any of them.

I have just bought this book and by
reading the first chapters it seems to me that it's an overwhelmming
amount of information. If you want to find yourself on JAVA Server
Programming it will be useful but be careful not to loose the focus.

One of the best Java book
I've ever had

Reviewer: Igor M. from

If you want to know about Java technology
from experts, you should have this book. The only problem with this
book that it is huge and heavy. I'd prefer to have 2 books instead
of 1, but I don't think it's so important.

This is as far as it can get right now.
But, they tried to cover all the topics and hence this overview of
all the topics. Ofcourse the examples are very handy!!

This book is great as an introduction to
the different Java technologies available for website development,
like JSP, Servlets, EJB, etc. Also covers XML and describes how all
these fit together. It's well written with excellent examples.

I will admit I am a rookie Java
programmer but I always go beyond the level I am currently on. Even
being a rookie I study this book and read sections several times.
This gives me an advantage over other programmers who do not push
themselves beyond their confort level. I do not understand
everything I read but I read it over and over and it finally sticks.
Thanks for introducing me to a level beyond where I am currently at!
Please, please keep up the good writing.

| I bought this book only after I have done
some development on servlets.
This book provides an insight into Database Connection pooling
and some other design issues.
Really good to have by your side.

It is a good book. Directly writing how
to get connected to a database and obtain the resultset, which is a
most popularly used application, made my life easier especially
because my live, tightly scheduled project was totally based on
retrieving data.
