Overview

The #1 introduction to J2SE 1.5 and enterprise/server-side development!

An international bestseller for eight years, Just Java™ 2 is the complete, accessible Java tutorial for working programmers at all levels. Fully updated and revised, this sixth edition is more than an engaging overview of Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE 1.5) and its libraries: it’s also a practical introduction to today’s best enterprise and server-side programming techniques. Just Java™ 2, Sixth Edition, reflects both J2SE 1.5 and the latest Tomcat and servlet specifications. Extensive new coverage includes:

  • New chapters on generics and enumerated types

  • New coverage of Web services, with practical examples using Google and Amazon Web services

  • Simplified interactive I/O with printf()

  • Autoboxing and unboxing of primitive types

  • Static imports, foreach loop construct, and other new language features

  • Peter van der Linden delivers expert advice, clear explanations, and crisp sample programs throughout—including dozens new to this edition. Along the way, he introduces:

  • The core language: syntax, objects, interfaces, nested classes, compiler secrets, and much more

  • Key libraries: date and calendar, pattern matching, network software, mapped I/O, utilities and generic collections

  • Server-side technology: network server systems, a complete tiny HTML Web server, and XML in Java

  • Enterprise J2EE: Sql and JDBC™ tutorial, servlets and JSP and much more

  • Client-side Java: fundamentals of JFC/Swing GUI development, new class data sharing details

  • Companion Web Site
