About this title

Synopsis:

Java has evolved into a robust, high performance programming language that is well suited to a range of different environments, be it on a middle tier Application Server or a client browser. Regardless of the architecture of your application you are using, it will almost certainly need to make use of data that is stored in some form of database. Relational databases are the data store of choice in the vast majority of businesses, and have also evolved enormously over the recent years, into powerful and feature-rich data management systems.

This book aims to teach you how to use these two powerful technologies to build successful Java database applications. You will find out how relational databases work and how you can use them in your Java programs, through the JDBC interface. You will see how to apply your new skills in an enterprise environment and by the end will be building sophisticated web-enabled Java database applications that incorporate other technologies, such as XML.

This book covers:

Using the JDBC API to build database-driven Java applications
Introduction to new JDBC 3.0 features
SQL and relational database design
Object-relational mapping frameworks and techniques
Debugging your application and logging its activities
Applying Java and JDBC skills in a J2EE environment
Integrating XML into you Java database applications

About the Author:

Since becoming a professional software developer, Kevin Mukhar has programmed a client-server based training system in C and C++. He then worked on a large-scale data management system using an Oracle database to manage terabytes of binary data. The front-end was developed as a web application employing C++ and Java. This was followed by an all Java system for dynamically finding and displaying data from distributed data repositories. His latest job is developing Java intranet web applications using J2EE technologies. The web applications provide customer management for a company with millions of customers.

Todd Lauinger is a freelance instructor, mentor, conference speaker, and published author. He is currently employed as a Software Construction Fellow at Best Buy Co., Inc., working there to establish a common infrastructure for all Java-related software development activities in the enterprise. Todd has his Masters degree in Software Engineering, along with over 10 years of experience developing large, mission-critical software systems for engineering and business organizations.

John Carnell is currently working as a Senior Systems Architect for Workscape, a leading provider of HR and Employee Benefits self-service solutions. John's favorite topic of discussion, much to his wife's chagrin, is component based, N-Tier architectures. John has extensive experience with both the Microsoft, Oracle, and Java N-Tier solutions.
