Beforeyou Readthis Book

Before proceeding with this tutorial and you should have a good knowledge of the Java programming language. A good way to "to" to "work through" Java Tutorial,fourth Edition, Sharon Zakhour et al (Addison-wesley, 2006).

You should also is familiar with the Javadatabase connectivity (JDBCTM) and relational database features described in JDB C API Tutorial and Reference, third Edition,maydene Fisher et al. (Addison-wesley, 2003).

Howthis Book are organized
the Java EE 5 platform is quite large, and this tutorial reflects (consider) this. However, you don ' t have to
Digest (understanding) everything in it at once. The tutorial has been divided into parts to help you navigate (navigation, walking) the content more easily.

This is tutorial opens with a 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, a nd How to use the This tutorial ' s examples.
When you have digested the basics, you can delve (in-depth research) 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.
