Overview of this book

<p>Java EE is the industry standard on enterprise computing and Oracle WebLogic Server is the most comprehensive platform for enterprise applications. The book combines Java EE with WebLogic Server in the most commonly used Java IDE, the Eclipse IDE 3.7.<br /><br />"Java EE Development with Eclipse" is the only book on Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers. The book is a practical guide for using the most commonly used Java EE technologies and frameworks in Eclipse IDE. Sample applications are available in downloadable format and may be customized to meet requirements. Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 12c, an enhancement to Eclipse IDE, providing additional project facets and an integrated support for Oracle WebLogic Server is used.<br /><br />"Java EE Development with Eclipse" is based on developing applications with some of the commonly used technologies using the project facets in Eclipse 3.7 and its enhancement Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 12c. <br /><br />The book starts with a discussion on EJB 3.0 database persistence with Oracle database XE and Oracle WebLogic Server. JAXB is discussed in the context of bi-directional mapping between XML and Java. A generic web project is developed for PDF and Excel spread sheet reports. JavaServer Faces, the most commonly used view component in web applications is discussed for developing a data table. Facelets, which was integrated into JSF with 2.0 version is discussed in the context of templating. ADF Faces components are used to develop another user interface (UI) application.

Chapter 10. Spring

Spring is a layered application development framework for Java that provides integration between different Java/Java EE components using a POJO-based programming model. The word "layered" implies that Spring Framework's functionality is grouped into layers consisting of modules. Spring's modular design makes it feasible to use only some of the modules for the required functionality. Spring provides the infrastructure to develop a Java/Java EE application. Spring Framework may be used on any kind of deployment platform such as a standalone application, a web (Servlet) container such as Tomcat, an application server such as Oracle WebLogic Server, or a cloud environment such as Amazon EC2. Spring supports commonly used web technologies such as AJAX and RESTful web services. Spring Model View Controller (MVC) provides a component model for developing scalable, testable, annotation-based web applications. Spring supports data access using all of the commonly used technologies...
