This book focuses on best practices for developing enterprise applications using the WebLogic APIs. After reading this book, intermediate or professional-level Java developers will possess the skills and knowledge required to develop scalable and robust applications on the WebLogic platform. The book combines reference and tutorial, taking a step-by-step approach that introduces each API and uses it to build a component of the WebAuction application, which supports on-line Auctioning on the Web. All software needed to build the sample application is included on a CD-ROM that accompanies the book. The WebAuction project gives users the opportunity to explore significant areas of building a distributed Enterprise Java application, including: � Planning in advance for scalability and deployment � Building presentation logic � Establishing database connectivity � Creating Enterprise Java Beans for the BEA WebLogic application server � Packaging the whole application so that it can be easily managed and maintained. ** About the Authors ** Rob Woollen is a Senior Software Engineer at BEA Systems.
