Excerpts

Live in fragments no longer. Only connect. Edward Morgan Forster Welcome toAdvanced Java 2 Platform How to Programand the exciting world of advanced-programming concepts with the three major Java platforms--Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE)andJava 2 Micro Edition (J2ME).Little did we know when we attended the November 1995 Internet/World Wide Web conference in Boston what that session would yield--four editions ofJava How To Program(the world's best-selling Java textbook), and now this book about Java software-development technologies for upper-level college courses and professional developers. Before Java appeared, we were convinced that C++ would replace C as the dominant application-development language and systems-programming language for the next decade. However, the combination of the World Wide Web and Java now increases the prominence of the Internet in information-systems planning and implementation. Organizations want to integrate the Internet "seamlessly" into their information systems. Java is more appropriate than C++ for this purpose--as evidenced by Sun Microsystems' announcement in 2001 that over 96% of enterprise application servers support J2EE. Advanced Java 2 Platform How to Programis the first book in ourAdvanced How to Programseries. We discuss Java technologies that may be unfamiliar and challenging to the average Java programmer. We structured each chapter discussion to provide the reader with an introduction to leading-edge and complex Java technologies, rather than provide a detailed analysis of every nuance of each topic. In fact, each topic we present could be a 600-800 page book in itself. We use a different approach with the examples in this book than that of programming examples in our previous books. We provide fewer programs, but these programs are more substantial and illustrate sophisticated coding practices. We integrate many technologies to create a book for developers that enables you to "go beyond" and experiment with the most up-to-date technologies and most widely employed design concepts. What better way to learn than to work with actual technologies and code? When determining the appropriate topics for this book, we read dozens of journals, reviewed the Sun Microsystems Web site and participated in numerous trade shows. We audited our material against the latest technologies presented at the JavaOne conference--the leading Java-developer conference sponsored by Sun Microsystems--and at other popular Java conferences. We also reviewed books on specialized Java topics. After this extensive research, we created an outline for this book and sent it for professional review by Java experts. We found so many topics we wanted to include that we wound up with over 1800 pages of material (several hundred of those pages appear as PDF documents on the CD that accompanies this book). We apologize if this is inconvenient, but the material and the number of topics are voluminous. We will most likely split the next edition into two volumes. This book benefited from an unusually large pool of excellent reviewers and the detailed documentation that Sun makes available on their Web site ( www.sun.com ). We were excited to have a number of reviewers from Sun and many other distinguished industry reviewers. We wanted experienced developers to review our code and discussions, so we could offer "expert advice" from people who actually work with the technologies in industry. We are pleased to include a discussion of application servers in Chapter 21. The three most popular application server software products are BEA'sWebLogic,IBM'sWeb-Sphereand Sun/Netscape'siPlanet.Originally, we had planned to include all three on the book's accompanying CD, but we h
