Beginning Jakarta EE Web Development

Start building Java-based web applications now, even if you're a complete newcomer to Java. Comprehensive and example-driven, this book is all you need to develop dynamic Java-based web applications using JSP, connect to databases with JSF, and put them into action using the popular open source Java web server, Apache Tomcat.

Beginning Jakarta EE Web Development is a comprehensive introduction to building Java-based web applications using JSP, JSF, MySQL, and the Apache Tomcat web application server. Other APIs including JSON, JSTL, and XML parser are covered along the way.

Key concepts are made easy to grasp with numerous working examples and a walk-through of the development of a complete ecommerce project. This book is written for professionals by practicing Java web application professionals and experts.

You will:

• Build Java-based web applications using JSP and JSF with Eclipse Jakarta EE
• Configure your database with MySQL
• Define XML documents for your applications
• Use the Apache MyFaces APIs to create JSF applications
• Integrate and implement JSF and JSP together

• Build an online ecommerce web application

Auteur
Luciano Manelli earned a PhD in computer science from the IT department, University of Bari - Aldo Moro. His PhD focused on grid computing and formal methods, and he published the results in international publications. Luciano obtained several certificates in the IT sector, and, in 2014, began working for the Port Network Authority of the Ionian Sea Port of Taranto, after working for 13 years for InfoCamere SCpA. He has worked mainly in the design, analysis, and development of large software systems; research and development; testing; and production with roles of increasing responsibility in several areas over the years. Luciano has developed a great capability to make decisions in a technical and business context and is mainly interested in project management and business process management. In his current position, he deals with port community systems and software innovation. Additionally, he has written several IT books and is a contract professor at the Polytechnic of Bari (foundations of computer science), and at the University of Bari - Aldo Moro (programming for web, computer science, and computer lab).
Giulio Zambon's first love was physics, but he decided to dedicate himself to software development more than 30 years ago: back when computers were still made of transistors and core memories, programs were punched on cards, and Fortran only had arithmetic IFs. Over the years, he learned a dozen computer languages and worked with all sorts of operating systems. His specific interests were in telecom and real-time systems, and he managed several projects to their successful completion. In 2001 Giulio founded his own company offering computer telephony integration (CTI) services, and he used JSP and Tomcat exclusively to develop the web side of the service platform. Back in Australia after many years in Europe, he now dedicates himself to writing software to generate and solve numeric puzzles.

   NOTES from Author on Revision Plan:
   I'd like to propose a revision of the Beginning Jakarta EE Web Development book and I would change the structure of the book to make it more modern and implementable:
   1) I would prefer to start the reading of a book for beginners step by step avoiding the copy&paste operations of complex code (i.e. Listing 1-1. pag 6);
   2) It's a good idea the theory&practice used in the book, so I would delete the appendices and Chapter9, inserting part of them directly in the main text;
   3) I would avoid so many areas of software development (there are a lot of xml /tipology of tags applications): I think is better focus on the eshop application;
   4) I would use more graphical tools, like Eclipse using autocompilation or automatic generation tools (for example of beans) in order to maximize learning and to minimize the copy&paste operations of the code.5) I will update it.
   Thank you,LM
