With the release of WebLogic Server 7.0 in June 2002, BEA positioned WebLogic Server as the premier J2EE Web Services development platform. With the next release in late 2002, WLS will integrate WebLogic Workshop and other key tools to provide developers with a stable, market-leading product designed for the next generation of Java applications based on Web Services on the latest J2EE platform. BEA WebLogic Server is the leading J2EE application server, holding almost 40% of the market share in this competitive category. WebLogic Server Unleashedis designed to be the definitive reference work for the WLS developer, offering an in-depth look at the capabilities provided by WLS 7.X and illustrating the best development practices.

BEA's WebLogic is widely recognized as the de facto industry standard for developing and deploying industrial strength Java E-commerce applications. Now, there's a book that delivers authoritative guidance for J2EE application development with WebLogic. Authored by members of BEA's WebLogic project team, this book covers every aspect of real-world WebLogic J2EE development, from start to finish, through an industrial-strength case study application. The authors start by introducing BEA WebLogic and walking through deploying it. Next, you'll learn practical techniques for designing robust, high-performance J2EE applications with WebLogic; building presentation logic with WebLogic servlets and JavaServer Pages; accessing databases with JDBC; implementing transactions; and more. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all code from the book, including a complete WebAuction application, as well as a complete evaluation version of the latest version of the BEA WebLogic server.

As a Java developer, you may find yourself in a situation where you have to maintain someone else's code or use a third-party's library for your own application without documentation of the original source code. Rather than spend hours feeling like you want to bang your head against the wall, turn to "Covert Java: Techniques for Decompiling, Patching, and Reverse Engineering." These techniques will show you how to better understand and work with third-party applications. Each chapter focuses on a technique to solve a specific problem, such as obfuscation in code or scalability vulnerabilities, outlining the issue and demonstrating possible solutions. Summaries at the end of each chapter will help you double check that you understood the crucial points of each lesson. You will also be able to download all code examples and sample applications for future reference from the publisher's website. Let "Covert Java" help you crack open mysterious codes!
