Description
Now, there's a realistic, no-holds-barred casebook of today's most important, mission-critical J2EE enterprise projects. Discover what works -- and what doesn't -- as you join trailblazers from the industry's leading Java development organizations, from Oracle to IBM. Rick Cattell and Jim Inscore -- two of Sun's Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) heavyweights -- cover every key aspect of J2EE development, throughout the entire project lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through coding, deployment, maintenance, and updates. You'll find the viewpoints and experiences of J2EE experts from Allaire, ATG, Bluestone, Forte, Gemstone, Inprise, iPlanet, Merant, SEcant, Silverstream, SMC/Java Center, Sybase, and other leaders. The book contains solutions-focused coverage of every J2EE and related technology, including JSP, servlets, EJB, JDBC, JNDI, security, RMI, Internet support, and XML. It introduces best practices for maximizing scalability, developer productivity, interoperability with existing information systems, even avoiding vendor lock-in. For every IT decision-maker and J2EE developer concerned with the realities of J2EE development.
