Building Java Enterprise Applications Vol.1. (Book Browser).

The first book in the "Building Java Enterprise Applications" series, "Volume 1: Architecture" covers the back-end of application programming, and explains databases, entity beans, session beans, the Java Message Service, JNDI, RMI, LDAP, and much more. The book moves from introduction into design and planning, through the database and directory server, and into, the code a developer will need to use the data. Readers will find extensive code without needless instruction or banter. The code listings in this book, without comments, total well over one hundred pages, or about thirty percent of the actual book.

The topic of building enterprise applications will be extended in the next two volumes of the series, which are already planned. The second volume will cover traditional web applications, including HTTP, HTML, servlets, JSP, and XML presentation solutions. The third volume will detail the web services paradigm, demonstrating the use of UDDI, SOAP.
