Tackle Mult - Core Complexity on the Java Virtual Machine: The increasing popularity and availability of multicore processors is creating a whole new set of challenges - although you can enjoy true concurrency, you're now faced with higher contention and synchronization issues.
Deploying an existing application on a multicore processor may bring out previously hidden concurrency issues. Javas multi threading facility by itself isnt enough its a very low level abstraction. Instead, you need a paradigm that provides a higher level of abstraction to deal with concurrency. Its time to embrace Functional Programming.

Scala is a hybrid Object Oriented/Functional Programming language on the JVM. Using Scala, you can create traditional imperative programs, intermix them with Java code, and at the same time take advantage of higher levels ofabstraction. You can use features that lead to concise, highly expressive code that remove the pain of dealing with concurrency.

Programming Scala will show you the fundamentals of functional programming using Scala. Very quickly, you will learn how this statically typed language can give you dynamic capabilities to create concise, scalable, highly capable concurrent code.

Pragmatic programmers always use the right tool for the job. For concurrent programming on the Java VM, Scala is the tool, and Programming Scala by award winning author Venkat Subramaniam is your guide.

1.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 yourapplications 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.

XML and Java: Developing Web Applications: Ideal for any Java developer or architect facing todays rich XML based standards and tools, the second edition of XML and Java: Developing Web Applications delivers a wide and deep tour of the latest in todays XML standards and Java tools used to work with them. Whether you want to gain an understanding of basic or advanced uses of XML, chances are this practical minded book will fit the bill, with its far ranging coverage of tools and programming techniques.
The coverage of todays Java XML tools is perhaps unmatched by any text. The authors do a great job at presenting the essentials first, in short, fast moving, understandable chapters, before ranging farther afield. In particular, the coverage of two of the most important XML APIs in todays Java (SAX and DOM) is a standout here. We also liked the benchmarks that show how SAX can offer faster performance, plus the easy to grasp summaries of essential programming APIs for both tools. Beyond the basics, the authors present several advanced techniques, like sending XML over sockets and advanced tricks available in Xerces.

After the basics of parsing XML, the book turns to transforming XML using XSLT, again with a no nonsense, practical tour. Turning toward the server side, the text presents a quick introduction to JSP and servlets and where XML fits into each. (Readers will appreciate the demonstration of creating XML from an ordinary JSP here.) After looking at XML used with databases and messaging, the book focuses in on Web services in a particularly well wrought chapter that covers all of the relevant standards for todays Web services, including how SOAP is really just an extension of XML messaging for the enterprise.

After looking at security issues with XML (including the importance of using secure sockets), a section on the various ways of defining XML documents (from standard DTDs to XML Schema, Schematron, and even RDF) shows the advantages and design goals of each. Handy reference sections list resources for all of todays leading XML based tools and W3C XML standards.

While todays landscape of XML standards and tools can indeed be daunting, this text sorts it out with an enthusiastic treatment of the subject filled with practical advice and an experts take on what working Java developers and system architects need to know when it comes to XML. Richard Dragan

Java - based Portal Applications Development: Liferay Portal is the leading open source enterprise portal framework that uses the latest Java and Web 2.0 technologies.

Web portals often function as a point of access to information on the World Wide Web. Web portals, such as Yahoo!, present information from diverse sources in a unified way.
Aside from the search engine standard, web portals offer other services such as e-mail, news, stock prices, infotainment, and various other features. Portals provide a means for enterprises to supply a consistent look and feel with access control and procedures for multiple applications that otherwise would have been separate entities altogether.

So, how do developers bring existing applications, as well as integrate content management systems and search engines, into a portal? And how do developers get started with the Liferay Portal engine? In Practical Liferay: Java�based Portal Applications Development, Dr. Sarang answers these questions and more.

This book is for those who want to learn how to use Liferay to develop vertical or company�specific web portals and beyond. The book will serve as a practical guide to learning Liferay and developing real - world web portals.
