 [Preface]





Start building enterprise applications with JavaBeans right now!

  • Key coverage of building enterprise client/server applications-including the JavaBeans API, accessing legacy data, and distributed objects.
  • Step-by-step, build a fulll, working enterprise application using JavaBeans and an existing corporate database.
@ CD-ROM includes all you need to get started: Sun's JDK and BDK 1.1, a trial version of DB2, and a full version of VisualAge for Java™.

JavaBeans portends a revolution in enterprise software development. It allows IT organizations to build small, reusable, platform-independent components that substantially enhance the value of existing computing and database resources. JavaBeans by Example is the first practical, complete guide to JavaBeans enterprise development. It introduces JavaBeans and shows how they package functionality into reusable components that can be spread throughout the organization. It shows how to create a JavaBeans reuse plan and philosophy that works; how to leverage JavaBeans visual programming; and how to use JavaBeans to effectively access and enhance legacy data. The heart of the book is the step-by-step construction of a sophisticated real-world enterprise application with JavaBeans, using IBM's powerful VisualAge development tools, DB2 database, Sun's JDK and BDK 1.1-all included on CD-ROM. This book is for every programmer, developer, and architect working with Java in the enterprise.
