Advanced Java Development for Enterprise Applications

Anyone trying to build enterprise-wide Java applications faces extraordinary challenges -- with little or no guidance. Until now. Advanced Java Development for the Enterprise is the first systematic guide to all the issues of enterprise development with Java -- from managing legacy code to building CORBA-based distributed applications, and beyond. This book shows you how to solve real problems in the real-life, complex world of mixed technologies, firewalls, multinational deployment and legacy data sources. It shows how to implement persistent data models today, using real products; how to deploy push-based and browser-based technologies; how to use CORBA, Java Beans and other distributed object technologies; how to implement secure communications, and much more. In a nutshell, this book covers virtually every topic the large-scale Java application developer needs to know about.
