J2EE; Short for Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition. J2EE is a platform-independent, Java-centric environment from Sun for developing, building and deploying Web-based enterprise applications online. The J2EE platform consists of a set of services, APIs, and protocols that provide the functionality for developing multitiered, Web-based applications. Some of the key features and services of J2EE: At the client tier, J2EE supports pure HTML, as well as Java applets or applications. It relies on Java Server Pages and servlet code to create HTML or other formatted data for the client. Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) provide another layer where the platform's logic is stored. An EJB server provides functions such as threading, concurrency, security and memory management. These services are transparent to the author. Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), which is the Java equivalent to ODBC, is the standard interface for Java databases. The Java servlet API enhances consistency for developers without requiring a graphical user interface.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful material, November 20, 2002

By 

Mike (NJ ,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: BEA WebLogic 7 Server Administration (Paperback)

A review by someone "Naperville, IL United States " just doesnt make sense to me. As I went through the first review from Manisha Mistry from Canada and then visited the book store (BN) before I bought this book. Bible is not meant for Administrators and doesnt help me for enhancing my skills for administration at all.

Thats not my problem. I am a J2EE developer and our app server is WebLogic 7.0. I wanted to enhance my skills in administering WebLogic 7.0 server and dont have time to dig manuals from BEA. So, was excited to have this book handy and most important thing is it worked for me.

Now, I can leverage my skills to my existing client.

Thanks guys..

5.0 out of 5 stars The only dedicated book on Administration for WebLogic Serve, November 20, 2002

By 

Ratnakumar - See all my reviews

This review is from: BEA WebLogic 7 Server Administration (Paperback)

I was looking for a good book that can help me not only learn WebLogic Server administration rather help me in my day today assignment activities.

Referred to many other to books on WebLogic in market but didnt work for me untill this book came out. Also, there are a couple of books on administration which I found are not out still and wont be out for long.. I cannot rely on 6.0 and 6.01 books for my job on 7.0 WebLogic Server. This makes sense.

My special thanks for McGraw Hill and authors for such a nice text on WebLogic Server administration.

Ratna.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very little insight ......, May 15, 2003

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: BEA WebLogic 7 Server Administration (Paperback)

In my opinion this book contains too many step-by-step
procedures (in tedious detail with diagrams), but contains
very little insight into the reasoning behind any step or
choice. Without the reasoning or insight, these procedures
become essentially useless. Sometimes terms are not even
defined clearly.
I tried to use it to set up Weblogic 7.0 server and it
was not helpful at all. (Previously I was running Weblogic
5.1).
