About this title

Review

This book details the components of the Enterprise Java packages--JDBC, RMI, CORBA, OLTP, ODBMS, and object serialization. Special Edition Using Enterprise Java caters to those who are already familiar with core Java and want to know what they can do with these packages. About half of this book deals with Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Java's means of accessing persistent data stored in a database. The authors walk you through a sample application--created for this exercise, not for a real-world problem--that illustrates key JDBC concepts. The example takes you through creating a frame, creating a statement, accessing a database, multithreading, and the special considerations of flat-file databases. This book also contains quite a bit of information on RMI and CORBA, though more complete references exist for both those subjects. Unfortunately, there's no companion CD-ROM to save you from having to type exercises in manually. However, this is a fine introduction to the Enterprise Java family of packages.
