Packed with real-world code examples and in-depth case studies accompanied by fully working applications, this book introduces the many new features of JSP 2.0 while emphasizing good Web development practices. Along the way, you'll examine how JSP interacts with other Enterprise Java technologies and you'll be challenged to apply your new JSP programming skills to real-world projects

Downloads Beginning Cryptography with Java ebook. While cryptography can still be a controversial topic in the programming community, Java has weathered that storm and provides a rich set of APIs that allow you, the developer, to effectively include cryptography in applications-if you know how.

What you will learn from this book

* How to understand and use JCE, JCA, and the JSSE for encryption and authentication
* The ways in which padding mechanisms work in ciphers and how to spot and fix typical errors
* An understanding of how authentication mechanisms are implemented in Java and why they are used
* Methods for describing cryptographic objects with ASN.1
* How to create certificate revocation lists and use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)
* Real-world Web solutions using Bouncy Castle APIs

Downloads Effective Java (2nd Edition) ebook. If you are a Java Programmer you should read this book.This books has a lot of very useful tips. It'll give you a good and practical understanding of some basic Java language concepts (like inner classes, generics, etc). Do not think you know all!! This is my most important book on Java. If you write Java for a living Bloch's Effective Java could be your most useful purchase.

The book assumes you know the language basics but that you want to make your code more effective: error free, easy to maintain. Block lays out 78 best practice in usage of the language. His style is lucid and direct with great examples. You can start in sequentially or skip around as it suits you - either way you'll wind up improving your code. br /If you want an introduction or to study for certification look elsewhere. If you're a professional and want to produce more professional work buy this book.

Download J2ME in Nutshell ebook Contents of this Book:

The first nine chapters of this book describe the J2ME platform, the command-line tools that are provided with Sun's J2ME reference implementations, and some of the visual development environments that you can use when writing J2ME applications:

* Chapter 1
This chapter introduces the J2ME platform and the concepts of configuration and profile, and it compares J2ME to a number of other Java platforms for small devices.

* Chapter 2
This chapter covers the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC), which is the basic building block for the J2ME profiles for wireless devices and PDAs. It begins by outlining the differences between CLDC and the core libraries of the J2SE platform. Then it takes a close look at KVM, the small-footprint virtual machine that is used in Sun's reference implementation of CLDC.

* Chapter 3
This chapter introduces MIDlets, the wireless Java equivalent of applets. MIDlets are part of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), which is the subject of this and the following three chapters. This chapter looks at the lifecycle of a MIDlet and illustrates it with a simple example. It concludes with a discussion of the facilities that a typical mobile device would provide to allow the user to download, install, manage, and remove MIDlets.

* Chapter 4
The devices that MIDlets run on range from cell phones with a small two-color display and room for only a few lines of text to PDAs with larger, multicolor screens. In order to isolate MIDlets from the specifics of the devices on which they are running, MIDP includes a high-level API that provides simple input and output controls and the ability to combine these controls to create form-like screens. This chapter takes a detailed look at the high-level API and provides sample MIDlets that can be run on cell phones or PDAs.

* Chapter 5
This chapter looks at an alternative user interface API that provides lower-level access to a mobile device's screen and input devices. This chapter looks at the details of this API and shows how to avoid writing code that may not be portable between devices with different user interface capabilities.

* Chapter 6
Networking is a key feature of a mobile device. The first part of this chapter looks at the Generic Connection Framework (GCF), which provides the basis for access to various networking APIs, including optional protocols (such as sockets and datagrams) and HTTP, which all MIDP implementations are required to support. A simple example that involves fetching information from a web site is used to illustrate the use of HTTP on a mobile device and shows how to avoid problems that arise when working in an environment with limited memory. The second part of this chapter looks at the facilities available for storing information on a mobile device and illustrates them by extending the HTTP example to include persistence of information retrieved from the web site.

* Chapter 7
This chapter looks at the Connected Device Configuration (CDC) and its profiles, which are designed for use on devices that have more than 2 MB of memory to devote to the Java platform. It begins by looking at Sun's reference implementation of CDC and the CVM, the virtual machine for CDC devices, then briefly covers the content of the CDC-based profiles that are currently defined.

* Chapter 8
This chapter contains reference material for the command-line tools that are provided with the CLDC and CDC reference implementations and the MIDP for the PalmOS product.

* Chapter 9
This chapter covers the J2ME wireless toolkit, a development environment provided by Sun that allows you to create and test MIDlets using a cell-phone emulator that can be customized to resemble a number of different cell phones and PalmOS-based handhelds. It also looks at how to use the wireless toolkit in conjunction with Sun's Forte for Java IDE to create a complete development environment, and it investigates a number of alternative third-party products that provide similar functionality.

These first nine chapters provide a tutorial introduction to J2ME, with particular emphasis on wireless devices, which are currently the most popular application of J2ME technology. The core of this book, however, is the API quick reference, Chapter 10 through Class, Method, and Field Index, which is a succinct but detailed API reference formatted for optimum ease of use. Please be sure to read "How To Use This Quick Reference," which appears at the beginning of the reference section; it explains how to get the most out of this section.
