| Summary: | This book shows how to build scalable web applications. It takes an end-to-end perspective and focuses on how developers can use the current set of high-performance Java technologies (servlets, EJB, CORBA, JDBC) to reach that goal. The uniqueness of the book is its most salient feature: the focus on achieving application scalability with an end-to-end perspective. "End-to-end perspective," means that the book shows a sample web application end-to-end, the whole thing. This book is a reference for web engineers that are implementing high-end e-commerce solutions. Commerce on the Internet faces unique challenges, one of which is scalability - the ability for a system to handle large numbers of users, large amounts of data, and high levels of simultaneous requests (such as a million bank transfers per hour) without degrading noticeably in performance. That is the problem area for which this book provides solutions.-- Target market is growing. They now understand the technology and need to write difficult large applications.-- Barish is sn up-and-coming innovator. He has created a successful start-up company, worked at Oracle, and is now getting his Ph. D. in computer science at USC.-- Scalable web applications, servlets, JSPs, JDBC, EJB.-- This shows how you put all these technologies together and still achieve high-performance web scalability. This timely book helps developers keep up with it all -- and takes them to the next level beyond just
