IBM® Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere® Software V8 is the full-function Eclipse 3.6 technology-based development platform for developing JavaTM Platform, Standard Edition Version 6 (Java SE 6) and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition Version 6 (Java EE 6) applications. Beyond this function, Rational Application Developer provides development tools for technologies, such as OSGi, Service Component Architecture (SCA), Web 2.0, and XML. It has a focus on applications to be deployed to IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM WebSphere Portal. Rational Application Developer provides integrated development tools for all development roles, including web developers, Java developers, business analysts, architects, and enterprise programmers. This IBM Redbooks® publication is a programming guide that highlights the features and tooling included with Rational Application Developer V8.0.1. Many of the chapters provide working examples that demonstrate how to use the tooling to develop applications and achieve the benefits of visual and rapid application development. This publication is an update of Rational Application Developer V7.5 Programming Guide, SG24-7672.

CD-ROM contains: evaluation version of WebSphere application server, standard ed.; entry version of VisualAge for Java, version 3.0; entry version of WebSphere Studio, version 3.0.

Annotation In preparation for IBM Test 285, this guide reviews the skills and technologies for building, testing, debugging, and deploying J2EE web components using WebSphere studio. The authors cover the basics of HTML, servlets, handling HTTP requests, the application state, JavaServer Pages, controller design, JSP tag libraries, and accessing databases with JDBC. An example purchase order and invoicing application illustrates some of the more advanced concepts. The CD- ROM contains WebSphere application server, express edition.

Includes more than 30 percent revised material and five new chapters, covering the new 2.1 features such as EJB Timer Service and JMS as well as the latest open source Java solutions The book was developed as part of TheServerSide.com online EJB community, ensuring a built-in audience Demonstrates how to build an EJB system, program with EJB, adopt best practices, and harness advanced EJB concepts and techniques, including transactions, persistence, clustering, integration, and performance optimization Offers practical guidance on when not to use EJB and how to use simpler, less costly open source technologies in place of or in conjunction with EJB

IBM® Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere® Software V7.0 (for short, Rational Application Developer) is the full function Eclipse 3.2 based development platform for developing JavaTM 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SETM ) and Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EETM ) applications with a focus on applications to be deployed to IBM WebSphere Application Server and IBM WebSphere Portal. Rational Application Developer provides integrated development tools for all development roles, including Web developers, Java developers, business analysts, architects, and enterprise programmers. Rational Application Developer is part of the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform (SDP), which contains products in four life cycle categories: - Architecture management, which includes integrated development environments (Application Developer is here) - Change and release management - Process and portfolio management - Quality management This IBM Redbooks® publication is a programming guide that highlights the features and tooling included with Rational Application Developer V7.0. Many of the chapters provide working examples that demonstrate how to use the tooling to develop applications, as well as achieve the benefits of visual and rapid application development. This publication is an update of Rational Application Developer V6 Programming Guide, SG24-6449. This book consists of six parts: - Introduction to Rational Application Developer - Develop applications - Test and debug applications - Deploy and profile applications - Team development - Appendixes

IBM DB2® for z/OS® is a high-performance database management system (DBMS) with a strong reputation in traditional high-volume transaction workloads that are based on relational technology. IBM WebSphere® Application Server is web application server software that runs on most platforms with a web server and is used to deploy, integrate, execute, and manage Java Platform, Enterprise Edition applications. In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we describe the application architecture evolution focusing on the value of having DB2 for z/OS as the data server and IBM z/OS® as the platform for traditional and for modern applications. This book provides background technical information about DB2 and WebSphere features and demonstrates their applicability presenting a scenario about configuring WebSphere Version 8.5 on z/OS and type 2 and type 4 connectivity (including the XA transaction support) for accessing a DB2 for z/OS database server taking into account high-availability requirements. We also provide considerations about developing applications, monitoring performance, and documenting issues. DB2 database administrators, WebSphere specialists, and Java application developers will appreciate the holistic approach of this document.

This is a practical guide to building a secure enterprise infrastructure with J2SE and J2EE technologies. This text explains how J2SE and J2EE security architectures relate to each other, and also covers the security aspects of servlets, JSP and EJB.

A comprehensive programmer's guide to developing sophisticated web-enabled applications with Java IBM has products in more than two-thirds of the existing commercial systems installations in the world. Over the next several years many of these systems will need to be accessible through the Internet, intranets, and extranets. IBM has chosen Java as the strategic technology for making all of their products ready for e-business. This book describes the Java tools available from IBM and explains how to use them to create Java-based applications. Worden details the challenges and techniques used to implement these technologies and shows you how these products can solve real-world application problems. Covering strategic as well as technical issues, Big Blue Java briefly introduces the emergence of Java and e-commerce at "Big Blue," IBM. The author then provides in-depth discussions on development tools, server products such as WebSphere Advanced and Enterprise, business and object modeling, the SanFrancisco Java framework, and Visual Age for Java as development environments. Also evaluated are the features and functions of the product suite offered by IBM, to help you find the right software for your e-business requirements. Inside you'll find: * Details of the IBM Java product development rationale and process * Key features of the IBM Java tool suite * Explanation of the role of related object tools including Rational Rose * Sample application models * In-depth description of the SanFrancisco environment The CD-ROM contains: * Sample code from the book * Visual Age for Java forms * Servlet samples * Rational Rose models * IBM support material
