The J2EE Tutorial

The 36 chapters in this guide are divided into four sections on developing applications that process XML documents, the components used in developing the presentation layer of a J2EE application, the components used in developing the business logic of a J2EE application, and the system services used by all the J2EE component technologies. The second edition is based on the Sun Java system application server and adds a chapter on J2EE 1.4 web services. The CD-ROM contains the J2EE 1.4 SDK and example code.
