Geared towards Java programmers that need to access an Oracle database, this book starts with well explained concepts of what components are all about, and slowly and surely takes the reader to distributed objects using EJB and CORBA as well as JSP client-side applications that can use EJB and CORBA components. More importantly, the book allows readers to learn both JDBC and SQLJ. Very informative for Oracle DBA who needs information regarding EJB and CORBA components that can reside in an Oracle8i database. Note also, that java code presented are JDK1.x and JDK1.2 compatible. I strongly recommend this book.
A truly outstanding book.

This is a truly outstanding book on Enterprise JavaBeans, CORBA, and JavaServer Pages as they appear in the Oracle8i environment. However, this book is written so as to be useful in other environments as well. The treatment in this book is based on the presentation of detailed and clearly written examples that teach the reader how to implement and use the Java components. The book starts out with two clearly written chapters that introduce distributed components and Web processing, respectively. This is followed by three chapters on EJB, four chapters on CORBA, and three chapters on JSP. The book is filled with necessary information on how to work with the Oracle8i implementation of CORBA, EJB, and JSP, including information on caveats and bugs that you won't find in the manuals. According to her author bio, Julie Basu is the person who actually implemented the Oracle8i version of JSP, so that we are getting the information straight from the horse's mouth. If you want to avoid frustrating hours spent in trying to use these systems on Oracle8i, I highly recommend buying this book.
An excellent book

This is an excellent book. This book shows how to do component programming in EJB, CORBA, and JSP using Java. It is full of information, including information on JTA (which I have been unable to locate anywhere else) and the differences between JTA and JTS. It has many examples of component programming (including full programs) . The authors also clarify the different types of sessions in CORBA (a somewhat confusing topic for me that I can finally grasp). The introduction to JSP alone is worth the price of the book, but it also explains how to do component programming using JSP in EJB and CORBA. It is well-written and well-organized. I highly recommend it.
Excellent Book for Database Component-based Applications
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I just purchased the Oracle8i Java Component book. This book is a real asset for a nay serious Java programmer that wishes to learn how to develop component-based applications using JDBC and the new kid on the block : SQLJ. Caution. Do not go too fast into the book; it covers fundamental concepts and high-level applications in Java. I can only diggest a few chapters at a time. It's an excellent tutorial and an excellent reference manual for Oracle DBAs as well as Oracle application Developers. I highly recommend this book.
