The Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is an extremely powerful platform for developing enterprise-level Java-based applications, primarily for the server. This book shows you how to harness that power, guiding you through the details of how the pieces of the J2EE platform fit together.
This book goes further than just showing you how to code a JSP or an EJB: It explains when and where to use these APIs, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and perhaps most important, how to employ the best practices for using them.
This book also contains hands-on tutorials, clear explanations, and working code examples that will take you to the next stepfrom writing client-side desktop applications to writing enterprise applications. You will learn how to use the individual APIs and tools in the J2EE platform, and how to bring these together to create your own enterprise applications.

From the Foreword by Ivor Horton, best-selling author of computer programming books on Java, C, and C++
Once you have a good grasp of the Java language and feel comfortable with applying the class libraries using the Standard Edition of the Java System Development Kit, you ll almost certainly be looking at where to go next. Progression to the Enterprise Edition of the SDK is likely to be a natural choice for many, simply because so much professional Java programming effort is deployed in developing network-based applications. However, getting into developing Web Services and Enterprise Applications generally is more of a giant leap than a small step, simply because of the vast range of programming topics, technologies, and standards you have to master. This book is a very good starting point because it provides you with a structured introduction to most of what you need to know.
The previous edition of this book provided an excellent introduction to server-side programming using the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, J2EE, and this new edition is even better, having been fully updated to cover the latest version, J2EE 1.4. In a single book package, it covers all of the key capabilities provided by the J2EE 1.4 that you are most likely to need in a real-world Java development context. Because it starts by carefully explaining what J2EE is all about and how it relates to the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, you ll have an appreciation of the inter-relationships between the specific topics that you need for effective server-side programming in Java from the outset. This will enable you to better see how the various technologies involved can be combined when you get into the detail.
After guiding you through the process of setting up a development environment for web applications, it continues with introductory tutorials on the core topics in server-side programming, JSP and servlets. It doesn t end there. A whole range of supportive web programming technologies are discussed, each with working examples that show you how they can be applied. These include JDBC for database access, Enterprise JavaBeans, XML of course, SOAP, WDSL, and many others.
The book is the product of a cooperative effort by several authors who are each experts in their field. Each topic has the benefit of being explained by the author who is best equipped to provide an effective tutorial on that subject. As a professional Java programmer, you need to be conversant with the latest Java technologies for the development of Web applications. You also need a good overall perspective on the most up-to-date version of J2EE and what its capabilities are. This is precisely what you get in this book.
