  • Configuring & Using Apache Tomcat 4 a Tutorial on Installing and Using
    Configuring & Using Apache Tomcat 4 A Tutorial on Installing and Using Tomcat for Servlet and JSP Development Taken from Using-Tomcat-4 found on http://courses.coreservlets.com Following is a summary of installing and configuring Apache Tomcat 4 for use as a standalone Web server that supports servlets 2.3 and JSP 1.2. Integrating Tomcat as a plugin within the regular Apache server or a commercial Web server is more complicated (for details, see http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/). Integrating Tomcat with a regular Web server is valuable for a deployment scenario, but my goal here is to show how to use Tomcat as a development server on your desktop. Regardless of what deployment server you use, you'll want a standalone server on your desktop to use for development. (Note: Tomcat is sometimes referred to as Jakarta Tomcat since the Apache Java effort is known as "The Jakarta Project"). The examples here assume you are using Windows, but they can be easily adapted for Solaris, Linux, and other versions of Unix. I've gotten reports of successful use on MacOS X, but don't know the setup details. Except when I refer to specific Windows paths (e.g., C:\blah\blah), I use URL-style forward slashes for path separators (e.g., install_dir/webapps/ROOT). Adapt as necessary. The information here is adapted from More Servlets and JavaServer Pages from Sun Microsystems Press. For the book table of contents, index, source code, etc., please see http://www.moreservlets.com/. For information on servlet and JSP training courses (either at public venues or on-site at your company), please see http://courses.coreservlets.com.

  • Javaedge Setup and Installation
    APPENDIX A ■ ■ ■ JavaEdge Setup and Installation Throughout the book, we have used the example application, JavaEdge, to provide a practical demonstration of all the features discussed. In this appendix, we will walk you through setting up the tools and applications required to build and run JavaEdge, as well as take you through the steps needed to get the JavaEdge application running on your platform. Environment Setup Before you can get started with the JavaEdge application, you need to configure your platform to be able to build and run JavaEdge. Specifically, you need to configure Apache Ant in order to build the JavaEdge application and package it up for deployment. In addition, the JavaEdge application is designed to run on a J2EE application server and to use MySQL as the back-end database. You also need to have a current JDK installed; the JavaEdge application relies on JVM version 1.5 or higher, so make sure your JDK is compatible. We haven’t included instruc- tions for this here, since we are certain that you will already have a JDK installed if you are reading this book. However, if you do need to download one, you can find it at http://java. sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. Installing MySQL The JavaEdge application uses MySQL as the data store for all user, story, and comment data. If you don’t already have the MySQL database server, then you need to obtain the version applicable to your platform. You can obtain the latest production binary release of MySQL for your platform at http://www.mysql.com.

MVC Based Web Development with Struts 288 [HP Education Services] 1 01 Introduction to J2EE evelopers today increasingly recognize the need for distributed, transactional, and D portable applications that leverage the speed, security, and reliability of server-side technology. In the world of information technology, enterprise applications must be designed, built, and produced for less money, with greater speed, and with fewer resources. With the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE), development of Java enterprise applications has never been easier or faster. The aim of the Java EE 5 platform is to provide developers a powerful set of APIs while reducing development time, reducing application complexity, and improving application performance. The Java EE 5 platform introduces a simplified programming model. With Java EE 5 technology, XML deployment descriptors are now optional. Instead, a developer can simply enter the information as an annotation directly into a Java source file, and the Java EE server will configure the component at deployment and runtime. These annotations are generally used to embed in a program data that would otherwise be furnished in a deployment descriptor.

  • Oreilly.Com/Catalog/Jakarta
    Programming Jakarta Struts By Chuck Cavaness Table of Contents Preface The road to successful web applications is paved with the sweat and heartache of the many who came before us. The idea of taking a rich client application and allowing it to execute over the Internet was a great leap of faith, and maybe just a little shortsighted. By "web applications," I don't mean small, trivial applications that accept a form or two of input and push it into a database; I mean large applications that cross several tiers, use many different technologies, and cover the spectrum of analysis and design-pattern uses. The design and construction of these types of applications push developers to the limit of what's logically and physically possible. Myriad solutions have been thrown at the problems these applications present. Some of the solutions stuck, and some did not—and when a solution didn't serve the needs of the users, it was obvious. But as with human evolution, the valuable characteristics eventually were passed on, and the characteristics that failed to serve their intended purposes fell by the wayside. The user interface (UI) in Smalltalk-80™ was designed around the Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework. Over time, this framework has been adopted as a classic design pattern and used in many different scenarios. Other UI frameworks, such as the one written for Java™ Swing, use similar concepts. The architects of the JavaServer Pages™ (JSP) specification formally introduced the abstract idea of two types of models for web-based solutions: Model 1 and Model 2.
