Summary

The Java EE 6 Tutorial, Fourth Edition: Basic Conceptsis a task-oriented, example-driven guide to developing enterprise applications for the Java Platform Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6). Written by members of the Java EE 6 platform team, the goal of this book is to provide new and intermediate Java programmers with a deep understanding of the platform. Starting with expert guidance on developing presentation layers with Web tier technologies, including JavaServer Faces and Facelets, it also covers building Web services with JAX-WS, RESTful Web Services with JAX-RS and Jersey, developing business logic with Enterprise Beans, accessing databases via the Java Persistence API, and Java EE Security, as well as Contexts and Dependency Injection. It contains extensive new material throughout, including detailed introductions to the latest APIs, and instructions for using the latest version of NetBeans 6.8 IDE and the GlassFish Server. Key topics covered include Enterprise Beans Java Persistence and the Java Persistence Query Language JavaServer Faces and Facelets Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) Java Servlet Technology Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE Platform (CDI) Securing Web and Enterprise Applications The Java Series..from the Sourcetrade; Since 1996 when Addison-Wesley published the first edition ofThe Javatrade; Programming Languageby Ken Arnold and James Gosling, this series has been the place to go for complete, expert, and definitive information on Java technology. The books in this series provide the detailed information developers need to build effective, robust, and portable applications and are an indispensable resource for anyone using the Java platform.
