Java Data Access

This hands-on guide shows Java developers how to access data with the new 3.0 Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API, use LDAP-enabled directory services with Java Network Directory Services (JNDI), and manipulate XML data using Java APIs for XML Processing (JAXP). Geared towards intermediate to advanced programmers, Java Data Access: JDBC, JNDI & JAXP will enable readers to acquire the skills needed to effectively create Java applications that can access a variety of data sources. They will also discover the basics of JDBC 3.0 and how it relates to the Java programming language as a whole. From this base, knowledge is built by reading about common advanced uses such as connection pooling, JSP implementations and Enterprise JavaBeans. In addition, readers will also gain an awareness of several object oriented design patterns for implementing JDBC solutions, as well as gaining insight into JNDI and how to use it to store and retrieve data using LDAP.
