Book Description

Security was, is, and will be one of the most important aspects of Enterprise Applications and one of the most challenging areas for architects, developers, and administrators. It is mandatory for Java EE application developers to secure their enterprise applications using Glassfish security features.

Learn to secure Java EE artifacts (like Servlets and EJB methods), configure and use GlassFish JAAS modules, and establish environment and network security using this practical guide filled with examples. One of the things you will love about this book is that it covers the advantages of protecting application servers and web service providers using OpenSSO.

The book starts by introducing Java EE security in Web, EJB, and Application Client modules. Then it introduces the Security Realms provided in GlassFish, which developers and administrators can use to complete the authentication and authorization setup. In the next step, we develop a completely secure Java EE application with Web, EJB, and Application Client modules.

The next part includes a detailed and practical guide to setting up, configuring, and extending GlassFish security. This part covers everything an administrator needs to know about GlassFish security, starting from installation and operating environment security, listeners and password security, through policy enforcement, to auditing and developing new auditing modules.

Book Description

The creator of Tapestry details how to use this new framework’s components to create rich web-based GUIs using links, images, and HTML forms. The challenges of web application development are discussed, such as managing server-side state properly, application localization, and maintaining synchronization between the client web browser and the application server. At the same time, the benefits of a clean separation between presentation logic and business logic and how well Tapestry succeeds in keeping these two concerns apart are identified. Targeted to new Tapestry users and even developers new to creating web applications in general, this guide includes extensive notes on development “gotchas”, including common Tapestry errors and how to fix them. Advanced techniques are covered as well, including creating entirely new components, integration with traditional servlet and JSP applications, and creation of client-side JavaScript. Finally, a complete J2EE application, the Virtual Library, is presented and analyzed in detail.

About the Author
Howard M. Lewis Ship is the creator of Tapestry and remains the principal architect for the project. He has published two articles about Java web application development in The Java Report, a member of the Apache Jarkata project management committee, and was recently nominated to become a member of the Apache Software Foundation. He lives in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Book Description

jBPM is an open source business process management (BPM) solution used for defining and executing business processes. Java developers can use jBPM to analyze, improve, and maintain their business processes. This book steers you through each point of the jBPM framework and its implementation to model your business processes.

The book starts by explaining the key concepts in a Business Process Management framework. It will help you to learn and practice all of the conceptual and theoretical terms used in the Business Process Management field. Then you will master jPDL, the preferred process language for jBMP, which will let you specify exactly how your processes must be defined and implemented.

From here on, the book takes a closer look at the engine, discussing a broad range of topics from building real business processes inside real applications to learning and implementing advanced capabilities of the jPDL and jBPM framework. It will also help you to handle vital information and tasks related to persistence, integrating jBPM with other enterprise systems, and deploying jBPM to existing J2EE application servers.

By the end of this book, you will gain all the experience required to implement solutions that use the framework as well as to make decisions about how the framework needs to be used in particular situations.
