Java Enterprise Design Patterns: Patterns in Java

Java Enterprise Design Patterns: Patterns in Java

A how-to guide for Java programmers who want to use design patterns when developing real-world enterprise applications.

This practical book explores the subject of design patterns, or patterns that occur in the design phase of a project's life cycle. With an emphasis on Java for the enterprise, Mark Grand guides Java programmers on how to apply traditional and new patterns when designing a large enterprise application. The author clearly explains how existing patterns work with the new enterprise design patterns and demonstrates through case studies how to use design patterns in the real world. Features include over 50 design patterns, each mapped out by UML, plus an overview of UML 1.4 and how it fits in with the different phases of a project's life cycle.

Java Distributed Computing (O'Reilly Java)

Java Distributed Computing (O'Reilly Java)


This thorough guide explains how to harness the power of Java to create distributed systems, which the author defines as a group of "agents" working together across multiple systems.

In order to create distributed applications, Java programmers need to be familiar with a host of technologies and language features in Java. These include Java's networking capabilities, its threading model, CORBA, Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI), and the JDBC standard for connecting to databases. Java Distributed Computing is a step-by-step guide to all of these pieces of the puzzle, presented in a concise, usable format.

The author presents each topic in digestible increments with some illustrative Java code, including a distributed game of chess, a chat application, and a whiteboard application. Advanced chapters cover security issues and dealing with "limited bandwidth" applications (such as pagers or Web browsers). Useful appendices list the fundamentals of CORBA, RMI, and JavaSpaces to make it easy for the working developer to look them up. --Richard Dragan

Java Development on PDAs: Building Applications for PocketPC and Palm Devices

Java Development on PDAs: Building Applications for PocketPC and Palm Devices

With the release of Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME), Sun Microsystems opened Java to the rapidly expanding Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) market.

This comprehensive tutorial and reference provides an in-depth look at developing PDA software with J2ME and PersonalJava, covering both Palm and PocketPC devices. Succinct and practical, Java(TM) Development on PDAs focuses on real-world programming tasks with extensive code examples and an end-to-end PDA application demonstrating techniques for integrating devices with the enterprise via Web services.

This book describes the J2ME platform and PersonalJava and discusses design issues specific to resource-constrained devices. It also provides in-depth coverage of networking and Internet access, the user interface, data storage, and integrating PDAs into the corporation.

You will learn to develop Java applications for PocketPC and Palm devices through in-depth coverage of:

-J2ME configurations
-CLDC and CDC profiles
-Selecting a PDA for development
-PDA development tools
-Designing for constrained computational capability
-Designing for constrained screen and memory size
-PDA user interfaces
-Storing information on the devices
-The Generic Connection Framework
-Internet access from a Java PDA application via a GSM phone and Bluetooth
-Accessing Web services from Palm and PocketPC devices

Java Design: Objects, UML, and Process

Java Design: Objects, UML, and Process

Focuses on the software process and how UML, Java technology, and object-oriented programming can be used effectively. Describes how these complementary technologies can be used together as a system of checks and balances to ensure successful creation of high-quality software.

Java Deployment with JNLP and WebStart

Java Deployment with JNLP and WebStart

Java Deployment takes a very practical approach to the topic of deploying Java applications. First, the book presents the major deployment concerns a Java developer faces and addresses the most common deployment scenarios. Next, the book addresses deployment issues the developer faces while coding a project. Finally, the book presents the JNLP technology and shows how to use JNLP in application deployment.

Java Database Programming with JDBC: Discover the Essentials for Developing Databases for Internet and Intranet Applications

Java Database Programming with JDBC: Discover the Essentials for Developing Databases for Internet and Intranet Applications

Java Database Programming with JDBC by Pratik Patel and Karl Moss is an updated edition of the authors' guide to the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) standard for database programming under Java. While the original edition was perhaps geared more to those developers who needed to write their own JDBC database drivers, a fairly arduous task, this new edition provides more background information on database connectivity issues in Java and so will be even more useful to the casual or intermediate programmer. After a general introduction to JDBC and Structured Query Language (SQL), useful even to beginning programmers, the authors start by building a simple database-aware applet. New chapters on "servlets," Java components that run on the server-side and manage database operations, as well as a general discussion of middleware technologies are particularly good. Database access for JavaBean components (from Sun Microsystems JDK 1.1) is also discussed, including working code for two database-aware beans. This book also includes a quick introduction to the Java language (which will only be helpful if you already know C/C ), a detailed reference for the JDBC API, and a working example of a text-based JDBC driver. Though this book is still oriented toward the JDBC driver developer, the authors now provide enough general discussion of JDBC architectural issues to make it worthwhile to any programmer who needs to ramp up on what JDBC is and what capabilities it offers.
