Apache books

Modern enterprise applications must be scalable, maintainable, and modular. Unfortunately, by itself Java EE doesn't do modularity very well. The Enterprise OSGi model enforces simple rules to make Java better at modularity. And now, projects such as Apache Aries and Geronimo provide pluggable components that make it easier than ever to use OSGi's mature modularity system in your own enterprise applications.

Enterprise OSGi in Action is a hands-on guide for developers using OSGi to build the next generation of enterprise Java applications. By presenting relevant examples and case studies, it guides readers through the maze of new standards and projects, arming them with the knowledge to build and deploy enterprise OSGi applications, use automatic dependency provisioning, provide enterprise qualities of service to their business logic, and make use of the Java EE technologies they know and love.

A comprehensive tutorial on how to use the power of Velocity 1.3 to build Web sites and generate content
Designed to work hand-in-hand with Apache Turbine, Struts, and servlets, Velocity is a powerful template language that greatly enhances the developer's ability to customize Web sites. It separates Java code from the Web pages, making a site more maintainable. Because of this, it is a viable alternative to JSPs and PHP and is expected to become the standard template engine. In addition to its use with Struts and Turbine, Velocity can also be used to generate Java and XML source code, XML schemas, HTML templates, and SQL code.
Even with all its promise, finding expert instructions on how to properly program with this language has been difficult. This code-intensive tutorial gives you all the tools you'll need.
It begins by quickly bringing you up to speed on all of the Velocity fundamentals and the Velocity Template Language. You'll then learn how to apply Velocity in a variety of areas with the help of richly detailed code examples. Additionally, you'll be taken through the steps of building a complete application in order to see how you can utilize all of the techniques and technologies discussed in the book. Covering the latest features of Velocity 1.3, Mastering Apache Velocity shows you how to:
* Build Java-based Web sites with Struts, servlets, Turbine, and other open-source tools
* Generate a wide variety of Web content and code, including Java, XML, SQL, and Postgres

• The combination of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP is popular because of interaction, flexibility, customization, and-most importantly-the cost effectiveness of its components
• Helps LAMP professionals take their skills to the next level with in-depth discussions of OOP; extensions of PHP such as PEAR, GD, XML, and CURL; improving site security; and advanced tools available to the coder
• Those proficient in other languages such as Java, C++, Perl and ASP will find this guide invaluable when transitioning to the LAMP environment
• The Web site includes sample scripts created in the course of each chapter, and several applications that can be modified and reused

The primary audiences for this book are developers and software architects who are looking to get exposure to the Apache Beehive project, and other related projects. This book covers the Apache Beehive project and projects closely related to this – such as XMLBeans, Pollinate etc. We will cover Page Flows, Controls, JSR 181 Web Services and XMLBeans technologies. The book will also talk about how these technologies are used in WebLogic Workshop, and how other IDE’s are extending support for these technologies (Pollinate project from Eclipse).

What is this book about?

If you're a Java programmer working with XML, you probably already use some of the tools developed by the Apache Software Foundation. This book is a code-intensive guide to the Apache XML tools that are most relevant for Java developers, including Xerces, Xalan, FOP, Cocoon, Axis, and Xindice.

Theodore Leung, a founding member of the Apache XML Project, focuses on the unique capabilities of these best-of-breed XML tools. With the help of a sample application, he demonstrates how you can use them in unison to develop professional XML/Java applications for the real world.

If you need in-depth information to help you assemble a workable toolbox for developing sophisticated XML-based applications, you'll find it in this volume.

What does this book cover?

In this book, you will find out about the following:

• How the Apache XML Project relates to Java programming
• When you'll need some of Xerces' extra parsing features, like grammar caching
• How to use Xalan's XSLTC to compile XSLT stylesheets into Java
• Prerequisites and applications for FOP and Batik
• Cocoon concepts and development
• Development techniques and practical usage for Xindice
• How to develop back-end applications with XML RPC and Axis
• Applications and concepts for XML Security

Who is this book for?

This book is written for professional Java developers who have had some exposure to XML and XSLT. To get the most from it, you should be familiar with Java, Java Web development technologies (e.g., servlets), and the command line Java tools.

This text gives coverage of configuring, installing, administering, securing, and debugging Apache Server 2.0. It contains information on running Apache on different platforms, including Windows NT and 2000, as well as UNIX-based systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris; and Mac OS X.

The book is a hands-on practical guide that stresses the discussion of code and builds up a sample application that illustrates all the standard UI types covered by Trinidad. This book is written for Java developers who are beginners at JSF and experienced web developers who are looking for an introduction into the world of open source JSF technology.

What is this book about?

The Apache Tomcat server and related technologies give Java developers a rich set of tools to quickly build more sophisticated Web applications. Tomcat version 5 supports the latest JSP and Servlet specifications, JSP 2.0, and Servlets 2.4. This completely updated volume offers you a thorough education in Tomcat 5 as well as 4.1.
