DocBook enables developers to create technical documentation in XML. Learn how to use it to transform its XML output to PDF and HTML automatically and integrate it into your development environment.
StAX (the Streaming API for XML) is a memory-efficient, simple, and convenient way to process XML while retaining control over the parsing and writing process.
Extend the life of your JUnit tests by enabling them to be executed inside a real deployed J2EE app, not just on developer PCs.
You've decided to switch from EJB to Hibernate for persistence in your J2EE applications, but you don't know what to do with your existing EJB tier. Learn how a few decisions upfront, some simple ground rules, and design patterns can smooth the transition.
Learn how to instrument your Java applications using log4j and regular expressions. It's as simple as mining your logs for application and performance metrics—in real-time.
Learn how to implement application concerns such as logging and remote error handling across classes using dynamic proxies. Along the way, you'll find out what dynamic proxies and aspect-oriented programming (AOP) have in common.
Learn how to manage paging for unbounded queries over large result setswithout blowing up your server. Strike the right balance between resource utilization and response-time requirements to satisfy your user demands.
