The Java EE 7 Tutorial

The Java EE 7 Tutorial: Volume 2, Fifth Edition, is a task-oriented, example-driven guide to developing enterprise applications for the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 7 (Java EE 7). Written by members of the Java EE documentation team at Oracle, this book provides new and intermediate Java programmers with a deep understanding of the platform.

This guide includes descriptions of platform features and provides instructions for using the latest versions of NetBeans IDE and GlassFish Server Open Source Edition. The book introduces Enterprise JavaBeans components, the Java Persistence API, the Java Message Service (JMS) API, Java EE security, transactions, resource adapters, Java EE Interceptors, Batch Applications for the Java Platform, and Concurrency Utilities for Java EE. The book culminates with three case studies that illustrate the use of multiple Java EE 7 APIs.

Eric Jendrock leads the Java EE Tutorial team at Oracle and documented Java security and Concurrency Utilities.

Ricardo Cervera-Navarro documented Batch Applications for the Java Platform, added content and examples in the resource adapters technology areas, and worked on the case studies.

Ian Evans documented Enterprise JavaBeans, the Java Persistence API, and the Java Transaction API.

Kim Haase documented the Java Message Service (JMS) and worked on the case studies.

William Markito, a former member of the Platform Technology Solutions group at Oracle, created the Duke’s Forest case study and created examples for several technologies.
