Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB.
Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB shows Java developers and architects how to build robust J2EE applications without having to use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). This practical, code-intensive guide provides best practices for using simpler and more effective methods and tools, including JavaServer pages, servlets, and lightweight frameworks.

Enterprise Service Bus.
Enterprise Service Bus provides an architectural overview of the ESB, showing how it can bring the task of integration of enterprise applications and services built on J2EE, .NET, C/C++, and other legacy environments into the reach of the everyday IT professional, using an event-driven Service-Oriented Architecture. Through the study of real-world use cases drawn from several industries using ESB, the book clearly and coherently outlines the benefits of moving toward this integration strategy.

Better, Faster, Lighter Java.
In Better, Faster, Lighter Java authors Bruce Tate and Justin Gehtland argue that the old heavyweight architectures, such as WebLogic, JBoss, and WebSphere, are unwieldy, complicated, and contribute to slow and buggy application code. As an alternative, the authors present two "lightweight" open source architectures, Hibernate and Spring, that can help you create enterprise applications that are easier to maintain, write, and debug, and are ultimately much faster.

Programming Jakarta Struts.
If you want to use the Struts Framework to its fullest potential, this is the book for you. Programming Jakarta Struts, 2nd Edition covers everything the successful earlier edition did as well as plenty more: now fully up to date with Struts 1.1, this edition covers the latest material on tag libraries and the new JavaServerFaces (JSF) APIs and even includes all-new chapters on JSF, JSTL/EL, and security.

JavaServer Faces.
In JavaServer Faces, developers learn how to use the new JavaServer Faces framework to build real-world web applications. The book contains everything you'll need: how to construct the HTML on the front end; how to create the user interface components that connect the front end to your business objects; how to write a back-end that's JSF-friendly; and how to create the deployment descriptors that tie everything together. This book is a complete guide to the crucial new JSF technology.

Enterprise JavaBeans; 4th edition.
This authoritative guide includes everything that made previous editions of Enterprise JavaBeans the single must-have book for EJB developers: the author's solid grasp on the complexities of EJBs; hundreds of clear, practical examples; adept coverage the key concepts EJBs ; and diagrams to illustrate the concepts presented. The fourth edition also includes everything you need to get up to speed quickly on the changes in EJB version 2.1 as well as a JBoss implementation guide.

WebLogic: The Definitive Guide.
WebLogic: The Definitive Guide presents a 360-degree view of the world of WebLogic. Exhaustive treatment of the WebLogic server and management consol answers any question that readers might think to ask. From building, packaging, and deploying applications, to optimizing the runtime WebLogic environment, dealing with security issues, and understanding Enterprise APIs, this book covers everything developers, administrators, and system architects must understand to work with this powerful and complex application server.

J2EE Design Patterns .
Crawford and Kaplan's J2EE Design Patterns approaches the subject in a unique, highly practical and pragmatic way. Rather than simply present another catalog of design patterns, the authors broaden the scope by discussing ways to choose design patterns when building an enterprise application from scratch, looking closely at the real world tradeoffs that Java developers must weigh when architecting their applications. Then they go on to show how to apply the patterns when writing realworld software. They also extend design patterns into areas not covered in other books, presenting original patterns for data modeling, transaction / process modeling, and interoperability
