Professional Java, JDK 5 Edition

What is this book about? Professional Java builds upon Ivor Horton's Beginning Java to provide the reader with an understanding of how professionals use Java to develop software solutions.В Pro JavaВ starts with an overview of best methods and tools for developing Java applications.В В It then examines the the more sophisticated and nuanced parts of the Java JDK.В The final and most extensive part of the book shows how to implement these ideas to build real-world applications, using bothВ Java APIs as well as related Java open source tools.В In short, this book provides a comprehensive treatmentВ of the professional Java development process, without losing focus in exhaustive coverage of isolated features and APIs.В Cover 1 Contents 16 Introduction 28 Key Java Language Features and Libraries 36 New Language Features 36 Generics 37 Enhanced for Loop 42 Variable Arguments 44 Boxing/Unboxing Conversions 46 Static Imports 48 Enumerations 50 Meta data 52 Important Java Utility Libraries 61 Java Logging 61 Java Preferences 98 Summary 106 Tools and Techniques for Developing Java Solutions 108 Principles of Quality Software Development 109 Habits of Effective Software Development 110 Communicate 110 Model 110 Be Agile 110 Be Disciplined 111 Trace Your Actions to Need 111 Don’t Be Afraid to Write Code 112 Think of Code as a Design, not a Product 112 Read a LOT! 113 Build Your Process from the Ground Up 113 Manage Your Configuration 113 Unit Test Your Code 114 Continuously Integrate 114 Maintaining Short Iterations 114 Measure What You Accomplished— Indirectly 115 Track Your Issues 116 Development Methodology 117 Waterfall Methodology 117 Unified Process 118 eXtreme Programming 120 Observations on Methodology 121 Practical Development Scenarios 122 Ant 122 Maven 130 JUnit 133 XDoclet 136 JMeter 142 Summary 144 Exploiting Patterns in Java 146 Why Patterns Are Important 147 Keys to Understanding the Java Programming Language 147 Keys to Understanding Tools Used in Java Development 148 Keys to Developing Effective Java Solutions 148 Building Patterns with Design Principles 150 Designing a Single Class 150 Creating an Association between Classes 150 Creating an Interface 152 Creating an Inheritance Loop 152 Important Java Patterns 154 Adapter 154 Model-View-Controller 157 Command 165 Strategy 169 Composite 173 Summary 177 Developing Effective User Interfaces with JFC 178 Layout Managers 179 BorderLayout 179 BoxLayout 186 FlowLayout 196 GridLayout 202 GridBagLayout 212 SpringLayout 218 CardLayout 226 JFrame and JDialog Components 232 Managing Navigation Flows in Swing 249 Applications 249 Summary 256 Persisting Your Application Using Files 258 Application Data 259 Saving Application Data 260 Java Serialization: Persisting Object Graphs 263 Key Classes 264 Serializing Your Objects 264 Giving Your Application a Time-based License Using 270 Serialization 270 Tying Your Serialization Components into the Application 274 Extending and Customizing Serialization 278 When to Use Java Serialization 282 Java Beans Long-Term Serialization: 283 XMLEncoder/Decoder 283 Design Differences 283 Key Classes 285 Serializing Your Java Beans 286 Possible Customization 289 When to Use XMLEncoder/Decoder 290 XML Schema-Based Serialization: 291 Java API for XML Binding (JAXB) 291 Sample XML Document for Your Configuration Object 292 Defining Your XML Format with an XML Schema 294 Generating JAXB Java Classes from Your Schema 298 JAXB API Key Classes 304 Marshalling and Unmarshalling XML Data 304 Using JAXB-Generated Classes in Your Application 306 When to Use JAXB 313 Future Direction of JAXB 2.0 314 Summary 314 Persisting Your Application Using Databases 316 JDBC API Overview 316 Setting Up Your Environment 318 JDBC API Usage in the Real World 318 Understanding the Two-Tier Model 318 Understanding the Three-Tier Model 319 Grasping JDBC API Concepts 320 Managing Connections 321 Understanding Statements 322 Utilizing Result Sets 333 Examining JDBC Advanced Concepts 337 Managing Database Meta Data 337 Utilizing RowSets 343 Connection Pooling 345 Managing Transactions 345 Object to Relational Mapping 347 with Hibernate 347 Exploring Hibernate’s Architecture 347 Developing with Hibernate 350 Summary 362 Developing Web Applications Using the Model 1 Architecture 364 What Is Model 1?
