Product Review
Suitable for intermediate to advanced Java programmers, Enterprise Java Programming with IBM WebSphere is an up-to-the-minute guide to creating server software using the latest Java standards. It's a perfect one-volume resource for getting on board with some of the best ideas on the Java platform for building enterprise software.
While most books focus on Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and related standards without looking at particular Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) tools, this title zeros in on IBM's popular VisualAge and WebSphere products for building and deploying Java software. The book does a good job of explaining the higher-level principles when it comes to Java standards like Servlets, JSP, and EJB. The more abstract material on the best ways to combine these front-end and back-end technologies is anchored by chapters that show how to use the real IBM tools.
Sections on modeling EJBs, for example, show you how to build real EJBs in VisualAge (including some fine material on associations that will let you model even complex database schemas with Java components). Another plus is material on the specifics of deploying Beans on the WebSphere platform, including tips on editing XML descriptor data. With today's J2EE standards, the genius is in the details. This book strikes a good balance between theory and practical advice. It gives you some of Sun's current best practices, like the Model-View-Controller (MVC). With fast-moving and useful tutorials on Servlet JSP and EJB standards, the authors also discuss layering of components on the server to achieve the separation of presentation and business logic, a must for today's Java Web applications. Patterns and other strategies for making sure you separate the tiers are also introduced.
By anchoring a state-of-the-art tour of Java with samples using real IBM tools, this title provides what Java developers need to use JSPs and EJBs effectively in real projects to solve real business problems. It's quite simply one of the best available tutorials for learning how to build successful Web applications in Java. --Richard Dragan

Customer Reviews & Comments
In the race to make legacy technologies and data accessible on the Web, J2EE has emerged as an industry standard. Vendors like Sun, IBM and BEA differentiate themselves in offering containers of varying functionality in which these can be implemented. This book explains the approach taken by IBM, which uses WebSphere. A very powerful container, whose scope is so extensive that it is reflected in the heft of the book. Several chapters give good generic descriptions of J2EE, Model-View-Container, Enterprise Java Beans, JSPs and Servlets. These are generic in that little here is IBM specific. Concise. But if you are new to these subjects, you may want to search for books dedicated to those, rather than turn here as a first resort. The core chapters show how to use WebSphere to implement and host the above items. This, after all, is the emphasis of the book. Especially comprehensive descriptions are presented of Container Managed Persistence and Bean Managed Persistence and Message Driven Beans. And, most importantly, because this is central to commercial applications, how WebSphere rigourously handles transactions. Two-phase commit, rollback etc. These MUST work, and Chapter 28 explains how. Throughout all this, the authors provide many screen captures of the WebSphere UI, as useful guides. Even just at this level, you can see the tremendous effort that IBM has put into making it as useful as possible. I do not say "easy", please note. WebSphere is highly intricate, and the book will give you an understanding of why this has to be so.
