Java(TM) EE 5 Tutorial

The Java EE 5 Tutorial, Third Edition, is the definitive, task-oriented, example-driven guide to programming server-side applications with Sun Microsystems' new Java(TM) EE 5 platform. Written by members of Sun's Java EE 5 platform team, this book enables new and intermediate Java programmers to build production-quality Java applications right away, as they gain a deep, rich understanding of the entire platform.
This tutorial offers expert guidance on developing presentation layers with the Java EE 5 platform's web tier technologies, using the platform's rich web services support, developing business logic with Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 technology, accessing databases via the Java Persistence API, and leveraging the Java EE 5 platform's powerful services. It contains extensive new material throughout, including detailed introductions to the latest APIs, and instructions for using the NetBeans 5.5 IDE and Sun Java System Application Server 9.
The technologies and services covered in depth include:
— Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0— Java Persistence— JavaServer Faces Technology— Java API for XML-Based Web Services
(JAX-WS)— Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) — Streaming API for XML (StAX)— Java Servlet 2.5— JavaServer Pages
2.1 — JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL)— SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) | PDF | 4,9 Mb | 1360 pages link

The Jini(TM) Specifications

What does Sun's Jini technology mean for the future of distributed computing? To find out, take a look at The Jini Specification, a guide written for IS managers and Java developers alike.
The book starts with what Jini is and how it works. (In short, Jini allows Java clients to invoke remote services easily through Java.) The authors present a chat message server and explain the Jini architecture where clients look up and "lease" remote services.
The heart of this book is its coverage of classes in the Jini specification. First there's an overview of Jini illustrated with a printer service. Then it's a close look at how clients "discover" Jini services, either through multicast or unicast protocols. (The authors also present useful built-in utility classes here.)
Next comes material on storing entries for Jini services (used for identifying them across the network) and the classes used to "lease" remote services. An interesting section on remote events contrasts them with local JavaBean events. Then it's on to Jini transactions, including the two-phase commit process used to manage work done remotely.
Later the book turns to the new JavaSpaces classes, which permit sharing data between Java processes in order to facilitate parallelism. An intriguing appendix reprints a white paper in which the Sun team outlines its philosophy of distributed computing. (They argue that local and remote objects need to be handled differently: object location transparency is a myth.)
With a mix of technology briefing and nuts-and-bolts detail, The Jini Specification delivers a valuable perspective on the latest advance in Java distributed computing from Sun. --Richard Dragan .PDF | 1,2 Mb | 688 pages link

Modern Compiler Implementation in Java

This textbook describes all phases of a compiler: lexical analysis, parsing, abstract syntax, semantic actions, intermediate representations, instruction selection via tree matching, dataflow analysis, graph-coloring register allocation, and runtime systems. It includes thorough coverage of current techniques in code generation and register allocation, and the compilation of functional and object-oriented languages. The most accepted and successful techniques are described and illustrated with actual Java^TM classes. The first part is suitable
for a one-semester first course in compiler design. The second part; which includes the compilation of object-oriented and functional languages, garbage collection, loop optimization, SSA form, instruction scheduling, and optimization for cache-memory hierarchies; can be used for a second-semester or graduate course.

This new edition includes more discussion of Java and object-oriented programming concepts such as visitor patterns plus a new Mini-Java programming project. A unique feature is the newly redesigned compiler project in Java for a subset of Java itself. The project includes both front-end and back-end phases. CHM | 8 Mb | 512 pages

Building Parsers With Java by Steven John Metsker

CHM | 3 Mb | 400 pages

The premise of this book is that by learning how to work with parsers, you can create new computer languages that exactly fit your domain. When you create a language, you give your language users a new way to control their computers. By learning about parsers, you learn to define the way your users interact with computers using text. Who Should Read This Book This book assumes you have a good understanding of Java and would like to learn how to do the following:
Use a handful of tools to create new computer languages quickly. Translate the design of a language into code. Create new computer languages with Extensible Markup Language (XML). Accept an arithmetic formula from your user and compute its result
