Java Web Development in Practice: 1200 Examples (Volume 2)

The Java Web Development in Practice: 1200 Examples series collects 1,200 examples in total, split between Volume I and Volume II; this book is Volume II, containing examples 601 through 1,200—600 examples—plus 600 tips and techniques. The book is organized into 7 parts and 23 chapters, starting with popular components: handling XML files with CSS, DTD, and XSD; parsing XML with DOM, JDOM, SAX, and dom4j; and configuring a mail server and using JavaMail to send plain messages, HTML messages, messages with attachments, and bulk mail. It then moves into database applications, covering JDBC connections and operations, SQL statement use, complex queries, and advanced database applications. The charting and statistics part explains JFreeChart basics, basic and extended charts, and chart programming with the Cewolf component; the Ajax frameworks part covers common uses of Prototype, jQuery, and Dojo. The popular frameworks part includes the Struts2 framework and its tag library, Hibernate basics and advanced topics, and Spring framework basics and Spring Web MVC. The final two parts discuss website performance optimization and security strategies, and design patterns and architecture (interface, responsibility, creational, and behavioral patterns plus MVC architecture), then tie the preceding technologies together through website color schemes and typical Java Web project cases (an Ajax chat room, a blog, online voting, a B2C shopping cart, online music, a digital photo album, a Baidu Zhidao clone, and more). Each example is explained in four steps—example description, key techniques, design process, and secret techniques—and the accompanying DVD provides source code for every example.
