Synopsis

The comprehensive Wrox guide for creating Java web applications for the enterprise

This guide shows Java software developers and software engineers how to build complex web applications in an enterprise environment. You'll begin with an introduction to the Java Enterprise Edition and the basic web application, then set up a development application server environment, learn about the tools used in the development process, and explore numerous Java technologies and practices. The book covers industry-standard tools and technologies, specific technologies, and underlying programming concepts.

• Java is an essential programming language used worldwide for both Android app development and enterprise-level corporate solutions
• As a step-by-step guide or a general reference, this book provides an all-in-one Java development solution
• Explains Java Enterprise Edition 7 and the basic web application, how to set up a development application server environment, which tools are needed during the development process, and how to apply various Java technologies
• Covers new language features in Java 8, such as Lambda Expressions, and the new Java 8 Date & Time API introduced as part of JSR 310, replacing the legacy Date and Calendar APIs
• Demonstrates the new, fully-duplex WebSocket web connection technology and its support in Java EE 7, allowing the reader to create rich, truly interactive web applications that can push updated data to the client automatically
• Instructs the reader in the configuration and use of Log4j 2.0, Spring Framework 4 (including Spring Web MVC), Hibernate Validator, RabbitMQ, Hibernate ORM, Spring Data, Hibernate Search, and Spring Security
• Covers application logging, JSR 340 Servlet API 3.1, JSR 245 JavaServer Pages (JSP) 2.3 (including custom tag libraries), JSR 341 Expression Language 3.0, JSR 356 WebSocket API 1.0, JSR 303/349 Bean Validation 1.1, JSR 317/338 Java Persistence API (JPA) 2.1, full-text searching with JPA, RESTful and SOAP web services, Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), and OAuth

From the Back Cover

Take your Java coding skills to the next level

There’s a reason that Java is one of the world's top programming languages. Programmers who are familiar with Java SE can easily move to building enterprise-level applications with Java EE that are secure, reliable, and scalable, without starting from square one. Professional Java for Web Applications is written with just this goal in mind. This book is for readers who already know Java SE, SQL, and basic HTML–established programmers who are ready to take their Java coding skills to the next level. Software developers can read this book from cover to cover or turn to individual sections for reference when specific Java programming questions arise.

Professional Java for Web Applications:

• Offers self-guided, self-study insights into Java coding for enterprise-level web applications
• Helps web application architects apply new concepts to their development teams’ projects and processes
• Provides a comprehensive introduction to the Java EE platform version 7 and many of the technologies within it
• Explores Servlets, JSPs, WebSockets, Spring Framework, AMQP, JPA and O/RMs, Spring Data, full-text searching, Apache Lucene and Hibernate Search, Spring Security, and OAuth
• Features extensive use of lambda expressions and the new JSR 310 Java 8 Date and Time API, both additions to Java SE 8

Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real-world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals.
