The Java EE 5Tutorial-Preface(注解)

        Preface
This tutorial is a guide to developing enterprise applications for the JavaTM Platform, Enterprise
Edition 5 (Java EE 5).

This preface contains information about and conventions for the entire Sun Java System
Application Server documentation set.

BeforeYou ReadThis Book

Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have a good knowledge of the Java programming language. A good way to get to that point is to work through The Java Tutorial,Fourth Edition, Sharon Zakhour et al(Addison-Wesley, 2006).

 

You should also be familiar with  the JavaDataBase Connectivity (JDBCTM) and relational database features described in JDBC API Tutorial and Reference, Third Edition,Maydene Fisher et al. (Addison-Wesley, 2003).

HowThis Book Is Organized
The Java EE 5 platform is quite large, and this tutorial reflects（考虑） this.However, you don’t have to
digest（了解） everything in it at once. The tutorial has been divided into parts to help you navigate （导航，行走）the content more easily.

This tutorial opens with an introductory chapter, which you should read before proceeding to any specific technology area. Chapter 1, “Overview,” covers the Java EE 5 platform architecture and APIs, the Sun Java System Application Server 9.1, and how to use the this tutorial's examples.
When you have digested the basics, you can delve（深入研究） into one or more of the five main technology
areas listed next. Because there are dependencies between some of the chapters, Figure P–1
contains a roadmap for navigating through the tutorial.
■ The web-tier technology chapters in Part II cover the components used in developing the
presentation layer of a Java EE 5 or stand-alone web application:
■ Java Servlet
■ JavaServer PagesTM (JSPTM)
■ JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL)

 ■ JavaServerTM Faces
■ Web application internationalization and localization
■ The web services technology chapters in Part III cover the APIs used in developing standard
web services:
■ The Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS)
■ The Java API for XML Binding (JAXB)
■ The Streaming API for XML (StAX)
■ The SOAP with Attachments API for JavaTM (SAAJ)
■ The Enterprise JavaBeansTM (EJBTM) technology chapters in Part IV cover the components
used in developing the business logic of a Java EE 5 application:
■ Session beans
■ Message-driven beans
■ The persistence technology chapters in Part V cover the Java Persistence API, which is used
for accessing databases from Java EE applications:
■ Introduction to the Java Persistence API
■ Persistence in the Web Tier
■ Persistence in the EJB Tier
■ The Java Persistence Query Language
■ The platform services chapters in Part VI cover the system services used by all the Java EE 5
component technologies:
■ Security
■ JavaMessage Service
■ Transactions
■ Resource connections
