| Review |
This book would be well suited for a Java beginner (someone who has some kind of programming experience)-- it includes descriptions, uses, and examples for all technologies in the Java Enterprise Edition.
Excellent JDBC/ SQL and API references, and has a very well organized collection of information akin to the online JavaDocs, including info on RMI, CORBA, Servlets, JNDI, and EJB.
Use this book as a concise overview starting point; for in-depth details or timely information updates on a particular subject, you might want to try another reference source (for example, the book does not cover JMS well).

| Synopsis |
Java Enterprise in a Nutshell also contains O'Reilly's 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 1.2, 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 1.2, and Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell,
which describes the graphics- and GUI-related classes of Java 1.2. |
| Publisher's Note |
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
These APIs are the building blocks of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), Sun's
recently announced new platform for enterprise computing. J2EE is the standard Java 2 platform
with a number of extensions for enterprise development.
