"The flip-side of Patterns, AntiPatterns provide developers with formal descriptions of common development gaffes that can derail a project along with practical guidelines on how to avoid them. In this book, the authors present dozens of Java AntiPatterns that tackle many of Java's biggest trouble spots for programming with EJB, JSP, Servlets, and more. Each AntiPattern is documented with real-world examples, code, and refactored (or escape-route) solutions, and the book uses UML (where appropriate) to diagram improved solutions. All code examples from the book are available to the reader on the book's companion Web site."

Using the JFC's Swing API you can quickly create familiar or unique GUIs for your applications and applets using numerous components including trees, tables, lists, and HTML text elements. A library of powerful user-interface components that feature pluggable look-and-feel, Swing lets you build Java programs that can either change dynamically to match the look and feel of any platform they're run on, or remain platform-neutral. In addition, Swing provides a new framework for creating your own components, as well as designing your application code. In this book, authors Scott Weiner and Stephen Asbury take a hands-on approach to mastering JFC. Using tons of working examples, complete tested source code, and a library of ready-to-use GUI components, they: * Give you a complete breakdown for each Swing component * Provide detailed style guidelines for each class * Show you how to build your own custom JFC components * Demonstrate Swing programming techniques in the context of a large application * Cover advanced topics, such as the Undo framework, animated icons, GUIs for the disabled, and more. On the CD-ROM you get: * Over 100 basic and advanced example Java programs focused on specific components or techniques. * Ready-to-use Java components * Two useful, complete Swing-based applications with source code that demonstrate multiple techniques in a single program. * JavaSoft's JDK 1.1. x and Java Foundation Classes version 1.1 * Alchemy's GifBuilder

Learn how to build sophisticated enterprise applications using the Java(TM) Enterprise APIs Stephen Asbury and Scott Weiner - two of Sun's favorite Java programming trainers-provide easy-to-digest instruction for the major Java Enterprise APIs and their associated programming tools and products. They describe proven techniques for combining these APIs to create powerful enterprise applications and discuss the role middleware products play in the enterprise development process. You'll learn how to: * Program with Java Enterprise APIs like RMI, Servlets, JDBC, JNDI, JTS, and others * Build N-Tier, transaction applications with Enterprise JavaBeans * Create messaging applications with Java Messaging Service (JMS) * Build a servlet search engine for your Web site * Create an online store with JavaServer Pages (JSP) * The CD-ROM supplies you with: * Over 75 example Java applications, servlets, and Enterprise JavaBeans * Two comprehensive examples including MiniJMS, a simple JMS provider * Java 2 and Java Servlet Development Kit version 2.0 from Sun Microsystems * BEA WebLogic application server version 3.1 * JBMS evaluation version 1.5 from Cloudscape

Developing Java Enterprise Applications

Take the hands-on approach to incorporating Linux in your enterprise The first operating system to give Microsoft Windows a serious run for its money, Linux is ready for the enterprise. Major corporations such as Xerox and Kodak use Linux to run their networks, and top vendors such as Intel and IBM have also lined up to help transform Linux into a viable system for the enterprise market. Now, author Stephen Asbury dispels the myth that Linux is a hacker's system and provides programmers and developers with everything they need to build 10 ready-to-run enterprise applications that address the most important issues facing corporate programmers today. Unlike others out there, this book goes beyond the definitions and concepts found in typical reference books and actually shows you how to use Linux in 10 real-world enteprise scenarios. With each project, Asbury explains how to combine Linux with the technologies and languages you need to build working distributed applications today. You'll learn how to use Java, C/C++, and Perl to program applications that work with technologies such as Apache, CORBA, XML, Java Messaging, MySQL, and LDAP on the Linux platform. Each project provides a real-world scenario, and lists the tools and skills you need to build: * An online catalog system * A Java-based Web page scripting engine * A Web-based bug tracking system * A CORBA-based course registration framework and server * A JNDI service provider * A messaging server * An XML data backup utility * A Java performance toolkit * A parallel program The CD-ROM contains all the tools you'll need to complete the projects including: * Complete code for all 10 projects * JacORB 1.0 beta 14 * Apache JServ 1.0 * MICO 2.3.0 * MySQL for Linux * Open LDAP 1.2.1 * PVM 3.4.2-Parallel Virtual Machine System * IBM(r)'s alphaWorks XML Parser for Java(TM) 2.0.9 * IBM(r)'s VisualAge(r) for Java(TM), Entry Edition for Linux, Version 3.0 * Trial Version of IBM(r) WebSphere(TM) Application Server V2.03, Standard Edition forLinux * Links to additional tools and resources Visit our Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/

Enterprise Linux at Work: How to Build 10 Distributed Applications for Your Organization

Operating Systems

The first hands-on guide to building Java enterprise applications, updated and expanded to cover all of J2EE's exciting new features Java has always been great when it came to creating Web applets, but, until now, it was hardly up to the task of building high-performance applications. Increased XML support, EJB 2.0, and a new APM, Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), offer developers what they need to build powerful enterprise applications. This updated and expanded edition of the popular hands-on guide shows them how. It uses the examples of two large-scale enterprise applications--complete with source code--to show readers how to use J2EE's various APIs together as well as with other technologies, such as CORBA, COM, Servlets, and Agents. The book also features substantially expanded coverage of Enterprise JavaBeans and tells how to get the most out of EJB 2.0 tools and products. Topics of special interest to Java developers include: building a Servlet search engine; creating online stores with Java Server Pages; using transactions with EJBs and JDBC to create N-Tier applications; and selecting the best middleware for your needs.

Health & Safety, Environment and Quality Audits

Internal auditing is an essential tool for managing compliance, and for initiating and driving continual improvement in any organization’s systematic HSEQ performance. Health and Safety, Environment and Quality Audits includes the latest health and safety, environmental and quality management system standards – ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. It delivers a powerful and proven approach to risk-based auditing of business-critical risk areas using ISO, or your own management systems. It connects the ‘PDCA’ approach to implementing management systems with auditing by focusing on the organization’s context and the needs and expectations of interested parties. The novel approach leads HSEQ practitioners and senior and line managers alike to concentrate on the most significant risks to their objectives, and provides a step-by-step route through The Audit AdventureTM to provide a high-level, future-focused audit opinion. The whole approach is aligned to the international standard guidance for auditing management systems (ISO 19011). This unique guide to HSEQ and operations integrity auditing has become the standard work in the field over three editions whilst securing bestseller status in Australasia, Europe, North America and South Africa. It is essential reading for senior managers and auditors alike – it remains the ‘go to’ title for those who aspire to drive a prosperous and thriving business based on world-class HSEQ management and performance.
