Sams Teach Yourself BEA WebLogic Server 7.0 in 21 Days covers all the features of WebLogic Server and how they enhance J2EE architecture. The book then covers WebLogic's role in devloping Web pages with Servlets and JavaServer Pages, components with Enterprise JavaBeans, database-driven applications with JDBC, and more. Later chapters include advanced J2EE concepts including messaging, transaction management and debugging. Each lesson is illustrated with real-world examples and finishes with useful questions and exercises to test readers' learning. Includes a CD-ROM with a trial version of WebLogic Platform and a searchable electronic version of the complete book.
