Java enterprise in a Nutshell

Next comes Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) classes for calling remote code. Then it's on to using Java IDL and CORBA basics. A chapter on Java servlets will get you started delivering dynamically generated HTML using Java on Web servers, including useful material on cookies and session management. After coverage of the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) comes a solid exploration of EJBs with material on both session and entity beans. Specifics here include home and remote interfaces, EJB containers, stateless vs. stateful session beans, and entity beans for accessing corporate databases.

Overall, this handy and readable guide to the latest in Java APIs can be truly invaluable to the developer bringing Java to the corporate enterprise for the first time. --Richard Dragan

Book Description
Java Enterprise in a Nutshell is an indispensable quick reference for Java programmers who are writing distributed enterprise applications. The book provides fast-paced tutorials on the following Java Enterprise APIs:

--JDBC, a vendor-independent API for accessing relational database systems
--RMI, a Java-only approach to distributed computing that relies on remote method invocation
--Java IDL, a CORBA-based, language-independent approach to distributed computing
--Java servlets, a mechanism for extending a web server that allows Java code to perform tasks traditionally handled by CGI scripts
--JNDI, a generic Java API for working with networked naming and directory services
--Enterprise JavaBeans, a component model that separates high-level business logic from low-level housekeeping chores like security and transaction management

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell also contains our classic-style, quick-reference material for all of the classes in the various packages that comprise the Enterprise APIs. This material includes the core Enterprise APIs that are part of Java 2, as well as numerous standard extensions.

This book is a companion to both Java in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition, which covers the key non-graphical, non-enterprise APIs in Java 2, and Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, which describes the graphics- and GUI-related classes of Java 2.

Synopsis
A quick reference for anyone who is doing enterprise development with Java, these pages cover the RMI, IDL, JDBC, JNDI, and Java servlet APIs, providing a fast-paced tutorial on each of the technologies.
