Java Enterprise in a Nutshell Summary

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference by David Flanagan

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell is a quick reference for Java programmers who are writing distributed enterprise applications. The book provides fast-paced tutorials on the following Java Enterprise APIs: JDBC, a vendor-independent API for accessing relational database systems; RMI, a Java-only approach to distributed computing that relies on remote method invocation; Java IDL, a CORBA-based, language-independent approach to distributed computing; Java servlets, a mechanism for extending a web server that allows Java code to perform tasks traditionally handled by CGI scripts; JNDI, a generic Java API for working with networked naming and directory services; and Enterprise JavaBeans, a component model that separates high-level business logic from low-level housekeeping chores like security and transaction management. These APIs are the building blocks of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), Sun's platform for enterprise computing. J2EE is the standard Java 2 platform with a number of extensions for enterprise development. Java Enterprise in a Nutshell also contains O'Reilly's classic-style, quick-reference material for all of the classes in the various packages that comprise the Enterprise APIs. This material includes the core Enterprise APIs that are part of Java 1.2, as well as numerous standard extensions. The book is a companion to both Java in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition, which covers the key non-graphical, non-enterprise APIs in Java 1.2, and Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, which describes the graphics- and GUI-related classes of Java 1.2.

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell Reviews

'It really is a useful Java Enterprise referenced and it deserves a place of honour on my desk.' - Steve Cornish, Cvu, May 2000. 'The API reference contains more information than the documentation which comes with the APIs themselves'... Java Enterprise in a Nutshell is a very good reference for the Java Entreprise APIs. The introduction already contains enough information to get started and the reference sections are very complete and useful.' - Hubert Klein Ikkink, Developers Review, February 2000.
