Swing Hacks
O’Reilly Media; 1 edition | ISBN: 0596009070 | 519 pages | June 1, 2005 | CHM | 4Mb

Swing Hacks helps Java developers move beyond the basics of Swing, the graphical user interface (GUI) standard since Java 2. If you’re a Java developer looking to build enterprise applications with a first-class look and feel, Swing is definitely one skill you need to master. This latest title from O’Reilly is a reference to the cool stuff in Swing. It’s about the interesting things you learn over the years–creative, original, even weird hacks–the things that make you say, “I didn’t know you could even do that with Swing!” Swing Hacks will show you how to extend Swing’s rich component set in advanced and sometimes non-obvious ways. The book touches upon the entire Swing gamut-tables, trees, sliders, spinners, progress bars, internal frames, and text components. Detail is also provided on JTable/JTree, threaded component models, and translucent windows. You’ll learn how to filter lists, power-up trees and tables, and add drag-and-drop support. Swing Hacks will show you how to do fun things that will directly enhance your own applications. Some are visual enhancements to make your software look better. Some are functional improvements to make your software do something it couldn’t do before. Some are even just plain silly, in print only to prove it could be done. The book will also give you give you a small glimpse of the applications coming in the future. New technology is streaming into the Java community at a blistering rate, and it gives application developers a whole new set of blocks to play with. With its profusion of tips and tricks, Swing Hacks isn’t just for the developer who wants to build a better user interface. It’s also ideally suited for client-side Java developers who want to deliver polished applications, enthusiasts who want to push Java client application boundaries, and coders who want to bring powerful techniques to their own applications. Whatever your programming needs, Swing Hacks is packed with programming lessons that increase your competency with interface-building tools.

J2EE Design Patterns by William Crawford, Jonathan Kaplan
Publisher: O’Reilly Media; 1 edition (September 30, 2003) | ISBN-10: 0596004273 | CHM | 1,2 Mb | 350 pages

Architects of buildings and architects of software have more in common than most people think. Both professions require attention to detail, and both practitioners will see their work collapse around them if they make too many mistakes. It’s impossible to imagine a world in which buildings get built without blueprints, but it’s still common for software applications to be designed and built without blueprints, or in this case, design patterns.

A software design pattern can be identified as “a recurring solution to a recurring problem.” Using design patterns for software development makes sense in the same way that architectural design patterns make sense–if it works well in one place, why not use it in another? But developers have had enough of books that simply catalog design patterns without extending into new areas, and books that are so theoretical that you can’t actually do anything better after reading them than you could before you started. Crawford and Kaplan’s J2EE Design Patterns approaches the subject in a unique, highly practical and pragmatic way.

Rather than simply present another catalog of design patterns, the authors broaden the scope by discussing ways to choose design patterns when building an enterprise application from scratch, looking closely at the real world tradeoffs that Java developers must weigh when architecting their applications. Then they go on to show how to apply the patterns when writing realworld software. They also extend design patterns into areas not covered in other books, presenting original patterns for data modeling, transaction / process modeling, and interoperability. J2EE Design Patterns offers extensive coverage of the five problem areas enterprise developers face:
— Maintenance (Extensibility) — Performance (System Scalability) — Data Modeling (Business Object Modeling) — Transactions (process Modeling) — Messaging (Interoperability) And with its careful balance between theory and practice, J2EE Design Patterns will give developers new to the Java enterprise development arena a solid understanding of how to approach a wide variety of architectural and procedural problems, and will give experienced J2EE pros an opportunity to extend and improve on their existing experience.

JavaServer Faces by Hans Bergsten
Publisher: O’Reilly Media; 1st Edition edition (April 30, 2004) | ISBN-10: 0596005393 | CHM | 1,7 Mb | 624 pages

JavaServer Faces, or JSF, brings a component-based model to web application development that’s similar to the model that’s been used in standalone GUI applications for years. The technology builds on the experience gained from Java Servlets, JavaServer Pages, and numerous commercial and open source web application frameworks that simplify the development process. In JavaServer Faces, developers learn how to use this new framework to build real-world web applications. The book contains everything you’ll need: how to construct the HTML on the front end; how to create the user interface components that connect the front end to your business objects; how to write a back-end that’s JSF-friendly; and how to create the deployment descriptors that tie everything together. JavaServer Faces pays particular attention to simple tasks that are easily ignored, but crucial to any real application: working with tablular data, for example, or enabling and disabling buttons. And this book doesn’t hide from the trickier issues, like creating custom components or creating renderers for different presentation layers. Whether you’re experienced with JSF or a just starting out, you’ll find everything you need to know about this technology in this book. Topics covered include:
— The JSF environment — Creating and rendering components — Validating input — Handling user-generated events — Controlling page navigation — Working with tabular data — Internationalization — Integration between JSF and Struts — Developing custom renderers and custom components JavaServer Faces is a complete guide to the crucial new JSF technology. If you develop web applications, JSF belongs in your toolkit, and this book belongs in your library.
