Professional Java for Web Applications is a comprehensive title that developers can read cover-to-cover when building a complex Java application in an enterprise environment, or pick apart into sections when more knowledge about a particular topic is desired. Starting with an introduction to the Java Enterprise Edition and the basic web application, readers set up a development application server environment, learn about the tools needed during the development process, and explore numerous Java technologies and practices, including:* Application logging* JSR-303 bean validation* JSR-317 Java Persistence API (with Hibernate)* Spring Framework* Spring Security* Custom JSP tag libraries* WebSocket persistent, fully duplex web connections (new to Java EE 7)Each unit explores a new facet of enterprise application development that builds on the previous unit and enables the reader to jump to a particular point of interest or return to a unit in the future. Readers will not only learn about the industry-standard tools and technologies used in enterprise development, but also enjoy an end-to-end guide to build an enterprise Java application from the ground up, and will explore both specific technologies and the programming concepts that they are built upon.The book is ideal for software developers familiar with Java who have been asked to build enterprise Java applications or would like to expand capabilities in Java to cover enterprise Java applications and web applications. Readers need knowledge in Java Standard Edition, the Web, and basic knowledge in HTML, XML, JavaScript, Structured Query Language (SQL) and relational databases.
