You’re not just buying any old solution. You’re buying a solution you can trust to be good. That’s why famous chefs sell lots and lots of books. People want to make food that tastes good, and these chefs know how to make (and teach you how to make) food that tastes good. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/ruby/0202ff49c813bbab7568be83881ec04a/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 02e78745f0b786ab47ab9e2984af13a8 YOU’RE holding one part of a truly stellar phenomenon in the computing industry: the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. This book is a key piece of a visionary effort that began more than two years ago with the introduction of the J2EE platform. In that time, the J2EE engineering team has defined a new ecosystem for networked computing and taught the world a new way to develop distributed applications. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/java/02e78745f0b786ab47ab9e2984af13a8/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 0940b3295ce6948b60a34d3028e90f42 Keeping up with the latest and greatest innovations in the high-tech industry is a job unto itself. My purpose in writing this book is to help you come up to speed as quickly as possible with using the Struts 1.1 framework. “Come up to speed” in this context means understanding the architecture and the technologies involved, as well as understanding how to start building applications. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/struts/0940b3295ce6948b60a34d3028e90f42/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 0bd092b13ea9797ab65d753887b757e1 This book is about Enterprise JavaBeans 1.1 and 2.0 the second and third versions of the Enterprise JavaBeans specification. Just as the Java platform has revolutionized the way we think about software development, Enterprise JavaBeans has revolutionized the way we think about developing mission-critical enterprise software. It combines server-side components with distributed object technologies and asynchronous messaging to greatly simplify the task of application development. It automatically takes into account many of the requirements of business systems: security, resource pooling, persistence, concurrency, and transactional integrity. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/java/0bd092b13ea9797ab65d753887b757e1/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 11a704dbe2642eeb8149a36253482152 This User Guide is written for active web developers and assumes a working knowledge about how Java web applications are built. Before getting started, you should understand the basics of several core technologies: l HTTP, HTML, and User Agents l The HTTP Request/Response Cycle l The Java Language and Application Frameworks l JavaBeans l Properties Files and ResourceBundles l Java Servlets l JavaServer Pages and JSP Tag Libraries l Extensible Markup Language This chapter briefly defines each of these technologies but does not describe them in detail. For your convenience, links to further information are provided if you would like to learn more about a technology. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/struts/11a704dbe2642eeb8149a36253482152/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 16543af5c675535bbd9018b064047b55 The Struts open source framework was created to make it easier for developers to build web applications based on Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies. Just like a building must have a solid foundation from which the rest of the structure can grow, web applications should be built with the same principle in mind. The Struts framework provides developers a unified framework from which Internet applications can be based upon. By using Struts as the foundation, developers are able to concentrate on building the business logic for the application. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/struts/16543af5c675535bbd9018b064047b55/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 1804b56971ab60e9fca8f8c90e143d90 Most well-architected EJB projects make use of design patterns. Whether or not a developer is actually aware that he’s using design patterns is another story. Oftentimes developers conceive of best practices during their projects, and aren’t aware that these best practices are actually design patterns—reusable approaches to programming—that are beneficial to other developers on their projects as well. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/patterns/1804b56971ab60e9fca8f8c90e143d90/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 18a93e7c877387674e28cca9072bf36b This document describes how to install Apache Axis. It assumes you already know how to write and run Java code and are not afraid of XML. You should also have an application server or servlet engine and be familiar with operating and deploying to it. If you need an application server, we recommend Jakarta Tomcat. [If you are installing Tomcat, get the latest 4.1.x version, and the full distribution, not the LE version for Java 1.4, as that omits the Xerces XML parser]. Other servlet engines are supported, provided they implement version 2.2 or greater of the servlet API. Note also that Axis client and server requires Java 1.3 or later. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/axis/18a93e7c877387674e28cca9072bf36b/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 1beea6435ab02b3d93c6f915b86afb78 JavaBeans is one of the most important developments in Java™ since its inception. It is Java's component architecture, which allows components built with Java to be used in graphical programming environments. Graphical development environments let you configure components by specifying aspects of their visual appearance (like the color or label of a button) in addition to the interactions between components (what happens when you click on a button or select a menu item). This means that someone can use a graphical tool to connect some Beans together and make an application without actually writing any Java code—in fact, without doing any programming at all. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/java/1beea6435ab02b3d93c6f915b86afb78/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 1ff51142374863053a9a64d75b858475 When Java™ was first introduced in the summer of 1995, most of the IT industry focused on its graphical user interface characteristics and the competitive advantage it offered in terms of distribution and platform independence. Those were interesting times. The Applet was king, and only a few of us were attempting to use it on the server side. I reality we spent about half our time coding and the other half trying to convince management that Java was not a fad http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/java/1ff51142374863053a9a64d75b858475/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 2bfbf026ec8297359e2cff1220e011df This book has been a project spanning several years. Many have commented that the first edition was one of the best technical books they ever read. What’s made this book a reality are the many people that aided in its development. We took a big risk in developing the second edition of this book and decided to build the book on the Web. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/java/2bfbf026ec8297359e2cff1220e011df/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 328b41b1841058dd9132633c2c171d95 This book gives a concise description of the Java 2 programming language, versions 1.3 and 1.4. It is a quick reference for the reader who has already learned (or is learning) Java from a standard textbook and who wants to know the language in more detail. The book presents the entire Java programming language and essential parts of the class libraries: the collection classes and the input-output classes. General rules are shown on left-hand pages mostly, and corresponding examples are shown on righthand pages only. All examples are fragments of legal Java programs. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/java/328b41b1841058dd9132633c2c171d95/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 34ebb4c35593c59eb163109262a10651 The acronym POJO stands for Plain Old Java Object—in other words, an ordinary JavaBean. POJOs are (among other things) commonly used to transfer data between the various components and architectural layers of a system, for example between the presentation tier and the web tier of a J2EE application, or more fundamentally, between a service and its client. Complex business objects are often represented as a graph of POJOs; for example, an Invoice POJO might contain a Customer POJO, a list of LineItem POJOs, and so forth. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/struts/34ebb4c35593c59eb163109262a10651/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z 398b8b21efa1a3781059074c3adf25a3 Cryptography, the science of secret writing, is the biggest, baddest security tool in the application programmer's arsenal. Cryptography provides three services that are crucial in secure programming. These include a cryptographic cipher that protects the secrecy of your data; cryptographic certificates, which prove identity (authentication); and digital signatures, which ensure your data has not been damaged or tampered with. http://doc.adiodom.com/dcv/document/preview/java/398b8b21efa1a3781059074c3adf25a3/ 2009-01-06T14:33:42Z
