This indispensable book provides the Java EE and .NET developer community with multiple strategies to integrate between Java EE and .NET platforms that save developers time and effort. Applying proven interoperability solutions significantly reduces the application development cycle. Coverage includes · Effective Java EE—.NET integration strategies and best practices · Detailed enterprise coverage, as well as standalone Java EE component integration with .NET · SOA as a building block for Java EE—.NET interoperability · Interoperability security issues and risk mitigation · Managing reliability, availability, and scalability for Web services built on Java EE and .NET · The latest interoperability standards and specifications, including Web SSO MEX and WS-Management · Current interoperability technologies, such as Windows Communication Foundation, WSE 3.0, JAX-WS, and Enterprise Service Bus

Coding and testing are often considered separate areas of expertise. In this comprehensive guide, author and Java expert Scott Oaks takes the approach that anyone who works with Java should be equally adept at understanding how code behaves in the JVM, as well as the tunings likely to help its performance. You’ll gain in-depth knowledge of Java application performance, using the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the Java platform, including the language and API. Developers and performance engineers alike will learn a variety of features, tools, and processes for improving the way Java 7 and 8 applications perform. Apply four principles for obtaining the best results from performance testing Use JDK tools to collect data on how a Java application is performing Understand the advantages and disadvantages of using a JIT compiler Tune JVM garbage collectors to affect programs as little as possible Use techniques to manage heap memory and JVM native memory Maximize Java threading and synchronization performance features Tackle performance issues in Java EE and Java SE APIs Improve Java-driven database application performance

This is the first one-stop guide to identifying, isolating, and fixing Java performance issues on multicore and multiprocessor platforms.

Definitive, Comprehensive SCEA Exam Prep–Straight from Sun’s Exam Developers! This book delivers complete, focused review for Sun’s new Sun Certified Enterprise Architect (SCEA) for Java EE certification exam—straight from two of the exam’s creators! SCEA lead developer/assessor Mark Cade and SCEA lead developer/assessor Humphrey Sheil offer powerful insights, real-world architectural case studies, and challenging sample questions that systematically prepare you for the actual exam. For every question, the authors show why the right answers are right—and why the other answers are wrong. Cade and Sheil cover every SCEA exam topic, skill, and technique, including: Understanding system architecture and its goals Decomposing larger systems into components organized by tiers or layers Addressing requirements for scalability, maintainability, reliability, availability, extensibility, performance, and security Building effective web (presentation) tiers, and analyzing tradeoffs associated with using web frameworks Leveraging EJB 3’s enhancements for business tier development Covering new enhancements in the JEE 5 platform Choosing and architecting the best integration and messaging components for your system Using the Java security model to enforce confidentiality, integrity, authorization, authentication, and non-repudiation Using the most powerful and useful Java EE architecture patterns Documenting Java EE architectures through visual models and narratives The authors also present detailed guidance for handling every element of the SCEA exam—including your development and defense of a complete real-world architectural solution.
