Designed for beginners and intermediate developers, this book teaches JPA from the ground up with an aim to get the reader up to speed with JPA as quickly as possible. It delves deeply into the core of the JPA, providing a sound understanding of the components that make up the framework and the way they interact with each other.

This book demonstrates a step-by-step guide to developing Web as well as Enterprise applications [using EJB 3 ] which re-enforces all the learning that takes place throughout the book. It also teaches how to integrate an enterprise application with Struts2. Not only this, the book also introduces EJB 3.1 [a part of Java EE 6] and demonstrates developing a IPA based EIB 3.1 application with the help of Glassfish v3 Prelude.

This book aims serving students, developers, technical leads and to some extent project managers or consultants by demonstrating a structured documented modestly sized project. Learning the project development and documentation is done through the construction of an Online Car Rental System [integrated with a payment gateway] using MySQL Community Server as the data store with Java Server Pages as the delivery mechanism, Struts 2 as the framework, JPA as the Specification and Hibernate 3 as the Implementation [the Object Relational Mapping library].

This book aims serving students, developers, technical leads and to some extent project managers or consultants by demonstrating a structured documented modestly sized project.

Framework migration [Struts 2.0.x to 2.1.x] and the art of migrating the application across databases [with the help of Hibernate] is what the readers would definitely appreciate.

Designed for beginners and intermediate developers, this book helps you come up to speed as quickly as possible with using the Struts² framework. It delves deeply into the core of the Struts² framework, providing a sound understanding of the components that make up the framework and the way they interact with each other.

This book uses an application-centric approach. The development of an application drives the Struts² exposure and not the other way around. An application is defined which is build throughout the book. Most [if not all] of the code spec and snippets that you will find in this book are a part of the application.

Finally, a web based project is developed to re-enforce all the learning that took place throughout the book. This will definitely help developers to quickly get started with building real-world Web applications using the Struts² framework.
