+ <h4 id="a20031110">10 Nov 2003 - JUnit in Action now Available </h4>
+ <p>
+ A new book offering, JUnit in Action, by Jakarta regulars Vincent
Massol and Ted Husted, is now available for purchase.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Developers in the know are switching to a new testing strategy - unit
testing - which interleaves coding and testing in an integrated way. This has proven
to be a powerful combination that results in better designed software with fewer
defects and faster delivery cycles.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ JUnit in Action shows you how to benefit from this strategy using the
popular open source testing framework, JUnit. It's a no fluff discussion of unit
testing techniques and best practices. It gives examples of tough situations such as
how to unit test EJBs, database applications, JSPs and Taglibs. It discusses unit
testing of J2EE applications, and shows how to test in automated builds.
+ What's Inside

+ <p>
+ FWA Software, Inc released Visual Tags for Struts 2004 on 03 November 2003.
+ Visual Tags for Struts 2004 is the latest release of FWA Software's
+ extension suite that integrates the Struts 1.1 tag libraries with
+ Dreamweaver. The major new feature in Visual Tags for Struts 2004 is
+ support for modular installation of the six Struts tag libraries, providing
+ web developers the capability to install only the tag library extensions
+ they need.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Visual Tags for Struts is the first commercial product to fully integrate
+ the Jakarta-Struts 1.1 custom JSP tags with Dreamweaver MX. Visual Tags for
+ Struts enables web developers to use Dreamweaver to create and maintain web
+ pages for Struts-based web applications using both visual layout and editing
+ and text-based editing of JSP pages containing Struts custom tags.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ FWA Software also released a new version of Visual Tags for Struts -
+ Designer Edition. This version includes enhancements for upward
+ compatibility with Dreamweaver MX 2004.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Visual Tags for Struts is available for Dreamweaver MX on Windows.
+ Full-function evaluation versions of the products are available for
+ immediate download from FWA Software's web site
+ (<a href="http://www.fwasi.com/products";>http://www.fwasi.com/products</a>).

+ <h4 id="a20031101">01 Nov 2003 - Web Application Architecture: Principles,
Protocols and Practices</h4>
+ <p>
+ <a
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471486566/neurozen";>Web
Application Architecture: Principles, Protocols and Practices</a>, a new book by Leon
Shklar and Rich Rosen, has just been published by John Wiley & Sons. It has been
released in Europe, and will be generally available in the US in December 2003. It is
intended both as a textbook for advanced web development classes (such as the one
taught by Dr. Shklar at Rutgers University), and as a reference for software
developers and architects.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The book covers:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Internet protocols in general,
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ HTTP in particular,
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Web server and browser architecture,
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Markup languages from SGML through XML, and
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Web application development frameworks from CGI to J2EE.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ The authors describe and encourage best practices for web application
design, advocating the use of <b>MVC</b> approaches, and offering up their own sample
application -- a multiple-listing-services web site for real estate brokers. They
explain their rationale for choosing <b>Struts</b> as their development platform,
discuss the issues associated with building a sophisticated web application, and walk
through the process of designing and implementing this application using <b>Struts</b>
and <b>JSTL</b>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The application source code is available on the authors' web site at <a
href="http://www.WebAppBuilders.com";>http://www.WebAppBuilders.com</a>, including
instructions for building and deploying the application on Tomcat with a MySQL
database system. For instructors wishing to use this as a course textbook, there are
questions and exercises at the end of each chapter, including suggested enhancements
that can be made to the sample application.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The book also provides extensive coverage of emerging technologies like Web
Services and RDF.
