Description:

This hands-on guide shows Java developers how to access data with the new 3.0 Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API, use LDAP-enabled directory services with Java Network Directory Services (JNDI), and manipulate XML data using Java APIs for XML Processing (JAXP).

Pick up this book to acquire the skills needed to effectively create Java applications that can access a variety of data sources. Learn the basics of JDBC 3.0 and how it relates to the Java programming language as a whole. Then from this base, build your knowledge by reading about common advanced uses such as connection pooling, JSP implementations, and Enterprise JavaBeans. You will also gain an awareness of several object oriented design patterns for implementing JDBC solutions, and gain a knowledge of JNDI and how to use it to store and retrieve data using LDAP.

From the Back Cover

Your Java Data Access Road Map

Java now has updated APIs to support your enterprise-level data access needs. The updated JDBC 3.0 API contains powerful new enhancements to help you access database information in ways not possible in previous releases. Two additional APIs, the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) version 1.2 and the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) version 1.1, provide you with the tools necessary for accessing naming and directory services and XML data stores.

This hands-on guide provides a complete overview of the Java data access APIs you'll use most. Inside you will find practical examples that show you how to apply the technologies using J2SE and J2EE. From the architecture of JDBC to advanced topics such as data access design patterns, connection pooling, and tapping data stores using Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages(TM), and servlets, you will learn how to make full use of the latest Java data access APIs.
