Apache books

The Definitive Guide to Apache MyFaces and Facelets covers the open source lightweight Apache MyFaces project, the most popular, extensive and pragmatic implementation of JavaServer Faces (JSF).

This is the first and only official, definitive book on Apache MyFaces Framework, needed for today’s Java-based Web 2.0 and Rich Internet Applications (RIA) applications.

Logging in Java with the JDK 1.4 Logging API and Apache log4j is the first book to discuss the two foremost logging APIs: JDK 1.4.0 logging API and Apache log4j 1.2.6 logging API for application developers. The internals of each API are examined, contrasted, and compared in exhaustive depth. Programmers will find a wealth of information simply not available elsewherenot even on the Internet.

Each concept explained is accompanied by code example written in Java language. The book also provides guidelines for extending the existing logging frameworks to cater to application-specific needs. This is an essential handbook for logging-related information and techniques needed for developing applications in the Java language.

Beginning Apache Struts will provide you a working knowledge of Apache Struts 1.2. This book is ideal for you Java programmers who have some JSP familiarity, but little or no prior experience with Servlet technology.

Organized in a condensed tutorial and lab format, the material in this book has been tested in real classroom environments. It takes a step-by-step, hands-on approach to teaching you Struts. The book even previews the next generation of Struts, the Apache Shale. The overall result is that you can quickly apply Struts to your work settings with confidence.

After covering the "must-haves" for every Web site, this book moves on and shows how to put Apache's extensive security capabilities to work. Later chapters explore advanced topics such as electronic commerce, working with databases, extending the server's capabilities, and optimizing Apache. Covers a plethora of very important technologies, including Web server organization, creating effective CGI scripts, database management, password/DBM authentication, encryption, generating virtual HTML documents, using RSA certificates and secure sockets, parsing and processing form data, and more. With this book by their side and the free copy of Apache, readers will have everything they need to run a full-featured Web site.

Written by two leading OFBiz consultants, this hands-on tutorial guides newcomers through the basics of Apache Open For Business, walking them through the creation and customization of real-world business applications. This book is for developers who want to build easily deployed and supported OFBiz applications. No previous knowledge of OFBiz is assumed, but readers should be comfortable in a Java development environment.

Pro Apache Struts and Ajax maps out how to use the most widely used Apache Struts MVC Web framework, so you can solve everyday web application development challenges. This book takes an application-centric approach: the development of an application drives the Struts along with Ajax coverage—not the other way around.

Improper design can lead to long term dependencies on the Struts framework, which makes code re-use difficult to achieve. But the authors helpfully discuss Struts from an anti-pattern perspective. The end result: you will learn to use Struts very effectively!

The only book to address using cache to enhance and speed up Web application development

• Developers use Apache, MySQL, memcached, and Perl to build dynamic Web sites that store information within the MySQL database; this is the only book to address using these technologies together to alleviate the database load in Web development
• Covers each of the four systems and shows how to install, set up, and administer them; then shows the reader how to put the parts together to start building applications
• Explains the benefits of a base perl library for code re-use, and provides sample applications that demonstrate in a practical way the information covered in the previous chapters
• Examines monitoring, performance, and security, with a problem-solving chapter that walks the reader through solving real-world issues

Every Java-based Web application developed needs to be deployed. Period. The majority of Java-based Web applications are or need to be simple. 60-80% of Java developers only need simple Java Web apps (JSP/Servlets), the largest Java tech market and opportunity. The tool to deploy the majority of these simple Java-based Web applications is the open source Apache Tomcat Web application server.

Tomcat holds a near market share monopoly in the simple Java Web app server space with approximate 85%+ marketshare, followed by Jetty with less than 10% and maybe another or two who hold the remaining market share (Tomcat is NOT like the more complex J2EE/Java EE Web app server like BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, JBoss, Apache Geronimo, etc.).

Pro Apache Tomcat 6 is looking to be first book (if not second to only one other) to hit very large Tomcat tech market where Tomcat book sales of late reflect the anticipation for Tomcat 6 and the fact that nearly all the Tomcat books in market are very dated based on Tomcat 4.x or 5.x. Also, this book wastes no time on Java or JSP introductions, and discusses JSP and Java code minimally, unlike competitors’ books. Instead, it gets right to the point and teaches you to use the newest Tomcat, version 6.

Other than the pending news on Tomcat 6, Tomcat has also graduated from Jakarta to become a topline Apache project, Apache Tomcat. Other Tomcat news is that professional open source companies and organizations are continuing adoption of Apache Tomcat en-mass as part of other product suites and solutions, including JBoss, HP, Novell, IBM, and others.

Best-selling author Mohammed Kabir expands coverage to include how to make practical use of the Apache Server. Written in the Bible's well-known comprehensive style, this book covers the "new" release of the award-winning Apache Web Server software.

The best way to experience OFBiz is to dive right in and start "kicking the tires". No matter if you are an end user exploring the out-of-the-box e-commerce web store or a software developer getting ready to build a new application, you will find, eventually, that you perform the same tasks over and over again. This book is designed as a reference to guide you through those oft encountered OFBiz tasks. It is a collection of recipes, not necessarily in any particular order of importance, that address and give answer to many of the very real world questions asked about how to do things with OFBiz. If you are an OFBiz user who has some familiarity with enterprise software systems, and perhaps more importantly, Internet and Web exposure, you will be able to glean useful information from this book. For following some recipes you will need only basic knowledge of modern browser behavior (for example: how to click a mouse button) while others assume only a passing familiarity with a text-editor and XML documents. If you are a software developer looking for Java and/or Groovy examples, this book also includes a chapter on Java software development.
