Book description

The Java EE 7 Tutorial: Volume 1, Fifth Edition, is a task-oriented, example-driven guide to developing enterprise applications for the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 7 (Java EE 7). Written by members of the Java EE documentation team at Oracle, this book provides new and intermediate Java programmers with a deep understanding of the platform.

This guide includes descriptions of platform features and provides instructions for using the latest versions of NetBeans IDE and GlassFish Server Open Source Edition. The book introduces platform basics, including resource creation, resource injection, and packaging. It covers JavaServer Faces, Java Servlets, the Java API for WebSocket, the Java API for JSON Processing (JSON-P), internationalization and localization, Bean Validation, Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java EE (CDI), and web services (JAX-WS and JAX-RS).
