Description
WebSphere is at the heart of IBM's web strategy: a global Internet software platform that can support any e-business, from startup to megasite. IBM is investing $1 billion to build a WebSphere community that will be 5,000,000 developers strong. Now, there's a comprehensive WebSphere programmer's reference: a hands-on, solutions-focused exploration of every key element of WebSphere server-side programming, including Java servlets, JavaServer Pages, Enterprise JavaBeans, and IBM's powerful VisualAge for Java development environment. They present detailed guidance for architecting WebSphere/J2EE applications that deliver maximum performance, scalability, and robustness. Finally, using a start-to-finish case study, they build an entire system, showing how every piece fits together, how each API interrelates, and exactly how IBM's VisualAge for Java Enterprise Edition and WebSphere implement the J2EE standards.
