Ajax on Java: This practical guide shows you how to make your Java web applications more responsive and dynamic by incorporating new Ajaxian features, including suggestion lists, drag and drop, and more. Java developers can choose between many different ways of incorporating Ajax, from building javascript into your applications by hand to using the new Google Web Toolkit (GWT).
Ajax on Java starts with an introduction to Ajax, showing you how to write some basic applications that use client side javascript to request information from a Java servlet and display it without doing a full page reload. It also presents several strategies for communicating between the client and the server, including sending raw data, and using XML or JSON (javascript Object Notation) for sending more complex collections of data.

The book then branches out into different approaches for incorporating Ajax, which include:

The Prototype and script.aculo.us javascript libraries, the Dojo and Rico libraries, and DWR
Integrating Ajax into Java ServerPages (JSP) applications
Using Ajax with Struts
Integrating Ajax into Java ServerFaces (JSF) applications
Using Googles GWT, which offers a pure Java approach to developing web applications: your client side components are written in Java, and compiled into HTML and javascript
Ajax gives web developers the ability to build applications that are more interactive, more dynamic, more exciting and enjoyable for your users. If youre a Java developer and havent tried Ajax, but would like to get started, this book is essential. Your users will be grateful.

Implementing SOA Using Java EE:
The Practitioner�s Guide to Implementing SOA with Java EE Technologies

This book brings together all the practical insight you need to successfully architect enterprise solutions and implement them using SOA and Java EE technologies. Writing for senior IT developers, strategists, and enterprise architects, the authors cover everything from concepts to implementation, requirements to tools.
The authors first review the Java EE platforms essential elements in the context of SOA and web services deployment, and demonstrate how Java EE has evolved into the worlds best open source solution for enterprise SOA. After discussing standards such as SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, they walk through implementing each key aspect of SOA with Java EE. Step by step, youll learn how to integrate service oriented web and business components of Java EE technologies with the help of process oriented standards such as BPEL/CDL into a coherent, tiered enterprise architecture that can deliver a full spectrum of business services.

Implementing SOA Using Java EE concludes with a section length case study that walks through analyzing a companys requirements, creating an effective SOA architecture, and building a concise proof of concept prototype with NetBeans IDE. Coverage includes

Using Java EE technologies to simplify SOA implementation

Mastering messaging, service descriptions, registries, orchestration, choreography, and other essential SOA concepts

Building an advanced web services infrastructure for implementing SOA

Using Java Persistence API to provide for persistence

Java The Good Parts: What if you could condense Java down to its very best features and build better applications with that simpler version? In this book, veteran Sun Labs engineer Jim Waldo reveals which parts of Java are most useful, and why those features make Java among the best programming languages available.

Every language eventually builds up crud, Java included. The core language has become increasingly large and complex, and the libraries associated with it have grown even more.
Learn how to take advantage of Javas best features by working with an example application throughout the book. You may not like some of the features Jim Waldo considers good, but they�ll actually help you write better code.

Learn how the type system and packages help you build large scale software
Use exceptions to make code more reliable and easier to maintain
Manage memory automatically with garbage collection
Discover how the JVM provides portability, security, and nearly bug free code
Use Javadoc to embed documentation within the code
Take advantage of reusable data structures in the collections library
Use Java RMI to move code and data in a distributed network
Learn how Java concurrency constructs let you exploit multicore processors
