Java Ee 5 Development Using Glassfish Application Server
by David HeffelfingerView All Available Formats & Editions
Overview
This is a guide to developing Java EE 5 applications deployed to the high-performance, Java EE 5-compliant GlassFish application server, which is quickly gaining massive popularity. After GlassFish installation and configuration, it covers application development, including all major Java EE 5 APIs: JSPs, JSTL, Servlets, and JSF for web applications; the Java Persistence API and JDBC to interact with RDBMS; EJB 3, including container-managed transactions and EJB declarative security through annotations; the JMS API for messaging; the JAAS API for secure applications; frameworks built on the Java EE 5 specification, including Seam, Facelets, and Ajax4jsf. It is aimed at Java developers wishing to become proficient with Java EE 5, who are expected to have some experience with Java and J2EE technologies and to have developed and deployed applications in the past, but need no previous knowledge of Java EE, and will teach the reader how to use GlassFish to develop and deploy applications.

I do have to agree with others who remarked that the book is not a comprehensive discussion of GlassFish. In this respect, it is somewhat of a downer. But, perhaps albeit inadvertantly, its best merit is elsewhere. Over the years, the Java world has grown hugely from just the Java language. Roughly, the latter is more or less J2SE. But in the J2EE field, or what Sun seems to just be calling EE, many extra layers of code and packages have been added. Entire books have been written on each of the topics of servlets, Java Server Pages, Enterprise Java Beans, Java Server Faces, Java Messaging Service, JDBC, Web Services and Ajax. Where do you start, if you don't know any of these? One answer is right here. This book. Heffelfinger gives a concise overview of each topic. Enough technical details that a programmer can understand and appreciate. More to the point, you can see how these tie into each other. Frankly, you'll still need those other books, to do serious coding in a given topic, or between topics. But the understanding and top level view here is valuable.
