Java Servlets

Java Servlets is a part of the Java EE technologies and hence is out of the scope of this book. For those who want to quickly get started with Java Servlets can refer to this section. It uses the NetBeans IDE to craft and run the examples.

NetBeans 6.9 as the IDE

The book has been written to provide genuine domain knowledge to students, developers, technical leads and professionals who wish to learn Java, Server side, enterprise application development, using Java EE 6.

What You'll Learn?

 

This book aims serving students, developers, technical leads and professionals who wish to learn server side, enterprise application development, using Java EE 6.  

This book explores Java EE 6 and systematically illustrates its various specifications with plenty of real world examples with complete code spec and diagrams to make it easier to follow. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Enterprise developer, you should find this book, a valuable and accessible knowledge base for creating Enterprise solutions.

What You'll Learn?

 

Designed for beginners, intermediate and professional developers, this book provides genuine domain knowledge to learn web based, application development, using Apache as the Web server, PHP as the programming language, MySQL as the data store, all mounted on the Linux OS. It delves deeply into the core of the MySQL and PHP providing a sound understanding of both.

This book also demonstrates a step-by-step guide to developing a few Web applications [using PHP 6 & MySQL 5.4 under Apache 2.2] which re-enforces all the learning that takes place throughout the book.

This book uses the learning by doing pattern with a lot of ready-to-use examples. This pattern has proven to be the best approach for learning a new technology. Most [if not all] of the concepts that you will find in this book are demonstrated using well described and easy to understand examples, yet sophisticated enough to demonstrate LAMP Programming in a real-world context.

Additionally, a special chapter covering the virtual installation of Linux is included. This provides an opportunity to create a Virtual LAMP Framework on MS Windows.

Designed for beginners and intermediate developers, this book teaches JPA from the ground up with an aim to get the reader up to speed with JPA as quickly as possible. It delves deeply into the core of the JPA, providing a sound understanding of the components that make up the framework and the way they interact with each other.

This book demonstrates a step-by-step guide to developing Web as well as Enterprise applications [using EJB 3 ] which re-enforces all the learning that takes place throughout the book. It also teaches how to integrate an enterprise application with Struts2. Not only this, the book also introduces EJB 3.1 [a part of Java EE 6] and demonstrates developing a IPA based EIB 3.1 application with the help of Glassfish v3 Prelude.

What You'll Learn?

Building Web Applications

Using JSP/Servlets, DAO, JPA using Hibernate 3, Ajax, Glassfish v2

Using JSP, JPA using TopLink, Glassfish v2

Building Enterprise Applications

Using JSP/Servlets, EJB 3 - Session Beans, JPA using TopLink, Glassfish v2

Integrating an enterprise application with Struts2 [An extensible framework for creating enterprise-ready Java Web applications]

Building Enterprise Applications Using EJB 3.1

Using JSP/Servlets, EJB 3.1 - Session Beans, JPA using EclipseLink, Glassfish v3 Prelude

Using the NetBeans IDE to develop JPA based applications
Reverse Engineering POJOs and Mapping Documents from Database tables

Pagination using JPA

To ensure that the focus remains on understanding the technology, we have adopted the simplest and most customary domain models such as Customer, Authors, ContactDetails, Books, Subscribers and Guestbook.

Designed for beginners and intermediate developers, this book teaches Hibernate 3 from the ground up with an aim to get the reader up to speed with Hibernate as quickly as possible. It delves deeply into the core of the Hibernate 3 framework, providing a sound understanding of the components that make up the framework and the way they interact with each other.

Most [if not all] of the concepts that you will find in this book are demonstrated using well described and easy to understand examples, yet sophisticated enough to demonstrate Hibernate in a real-world context.

Finally, a web based application is developed to re-enforce all the learning that took place throughout the book. Not only this, the book also teaches porting the same application to another database, switching from Hibernate's native API to Java Persistence API and integrating with Struts2. This will definitely help developers to quickly get started with building real-world Web applications using the Hibernate 3 framework.

This book aims serving students, developers, technical leads and to some extent project managers or consultants by demonstrating a structured documented modestly sized project.

Learning the project development and documentation is done through the construction of an Online Shopping Cart [integrated with a payment gateway] using MySQL Community Server as the data store with Java Server Pages as the delivery mechanism, Struts 2 as the framework and Hibernate 3 as the Object Relational Mapping library.

Framework migration [Struts 2.0.x to 2.1.x] and the art of migrating the application across databases [with the help of Hibernate] is what the readers would definitely appreciate.
