Overview

The Java Enterprise APIs are essential building blocks for creating enterprise-wide distributed applications in Java. Java Enterprise in a Nutshell covers the RMI, IDL, JDBC, JNDI, and Java servlets APIs, providing a fast-paced tutorial and compact reference material on each of the technologies.

If you are using Java and running Enterprise APIs in large heterogeneous and mission critical networked environments, this desktop quick reference may be a valuable addition to your library. It contains descriptions of each of the Enterprise APIs on the Java 2 platform, and is geared toward intermediate and advanced programmers. Please note that this publication is not a tutorial on Enterprise API use. For maximum benefit, users should be familiar with the Java environment.

From Barnes & Noble

The Barnes & Noble Review
With Java 2, the Java platform offers a complete, mature set of APIs for enterprise applications. java enterprise in a nutshell brings O'Reilly's trademarked In a Nutshell format to these APIs — and that's good news for anyone developing mission-critical applications with Java.

The authors present fast, insightful tutorials and example-rich quick-references for each of six key technologies. You'll walk through the fundamentals of JDBC for accessing relational database systems (if you're new to this, it'll help to already know a little SQL). Next, review RMI for creating distributed computing systems; and the Java IDL for interfacing with remote CORBA objects.

Java Enterprise in a Nutshell also covers Java servlets, a great cross-platform solution for extending web servers; JNDI, a protocol-independent interface to network name and directory services systems; and finally, Enterprise JavaBeans, Sun's component model for units of business logic and business data.

You'll wonder how you got along without this book — just as thousands of developers wonder how they got along with its best-selling companions, Java in a Nutshell, Third Edition and Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell. —Bill Carnada
