The Java(TM) Web Server(TM) has emerged as a powerful tool for creating dynamic, interactive Web applications. Web sites using cutting-edge servlet technology with the Java Web Server have better performance, security, scalability, and cross-platform flexibility than those using CGI and other server-side technologies. The Developer's Guide to the Java Web Server provides a comprehensive description of the Java Web Server and specific techniques for putting this technology to work. The book describes the underlying servlet technology, reviews Java Web Server features, explores design options, and demonstrates the development process. Drawing on their unparalleled real-world experience creating one of the largest web sites using the Java Web Server, the authors present many proven design and coding techniques. In addition, a plethora of working examples form the framework for an application that features registration, communication with existing Web Services, error reporting, and templating.In this book, you will find detailed information on topics such as: *The Servlet API(TM) *Java Web Server features *Creating, configuring, and managing servlets *Templating and session tracking *Writing thread-safe code *Optimizing code for the Java(TM) virtual machine and Java Class Libraries *Communicating with external applications with sockets, CORBA, RMI, e-mail, and JDBC(TM) *Java Web Server application design *Debugging, stress testing, and performance tuning *Customizing security *Building services The accompanying CD-ROM includes the sample applications and code examples from the book. With its focus on practical techniques for solving real-world challenges, this book gives you the knowledge and skills to apply the Java Web Server to your own server-side Web applications. 020137949XB04062001
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
In The Developer's Guide to the Java Web Server, the authors write from their experience building a high-traffic Web site to demonstrate and describe the implementation of servlets and Java Server Pages (JSPs) on the Java Web Server (JWS). The book includes a tour of critical JWS features and essential server-side programming techniques (like CGI and ASPs).
Even with the nod to standard CGI and Active Server Pages, the authors tend to favor Java servlets, especially when combined with JSPs. Provided you can commit to JWS, this servlet/JSP combination is a strong choice. The authors also cover HTML templates, JSP basics, and even include a "how to" section on tracking session information in servlets (through cookies or servlet APIs). The major code example here is a text-based, servlet-powered gaming engine. Readers will also find that the book touches on JWS Web administration, which is graphical and browser-based (thanks to Java).
The book's introduction to coding servlets is as good as any, especially because the authors discuss topics like manipulating thread safety to affect performance. Further sections offer invaluable advice for optimizing servlets and JWS culled from the authors' experience developing a JWS Web site that opened successfully to 2.5 million hits.
Later chapters look at APIs that extend the reach of servlets, from socket and e-mail APIs to JDBC and RMI/CORBA. After tackling servlet debugging, the authors describe ways to "stress-test" servlets, allowing you to ensure your Web site will function when it goes online. Even their checklist for finding the cause of performance bottlenecks is something that every potential JWS developer will want to read! Overall, this text is a must-have resource for building real-world, scalable Web sites powered by Java. --Richard Dragan
Review

Masterful coverage of the JWS!,

This review is from: The Developer's Guide to the Java(TM) Web Server(TM): Building Effective and Scalable Server-Side Applications (Paperback)
This book is without peer. It is succinct and yet covers the JWS in depth and detail. The writing style is fluid and the organization is excellent. Alas, now that this superb book is available, Sun has announced it is pulling the plug on JWS!

The book to get to understand the JWS. A no brainer.,
By Greg Frawley (Somerset, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Developer's Guide to the Java(TM) Web Server(TM): Building Effective and Scalable Server-Side Applications (Paperback)
The authors explain the JWS, administration server and admin tool in very clear terms. The second part of the book does an excellent job in discussiing JSP, Servlets, and other advanced topics. Very practical.
