Beginning Database Development in Java EE: Using GlassFish TopLink focuses on the open source TopLink persistence engine as a likely replacement for Hibernate long term. TopLink resides under the emerging official agile lightweight GlassFish application development framework and deployment platform project based on Java EE.

• The book explains in detail how you can organize your Java EE solution into a multilayer architecture, placing most emphasis on how to implement the persistence and database tiers of an application.

• Through many examples, this book shows how you can efficiently use the Java Persistence features available in the Java EE platform. Find out how you can greatly simplify the task of building the persistence layer of your Java EE application by moving some application logic into the underlying database, utilizing database views, stored programs, and triggers.

• The book also explains how to deploy Java EE applications to GlassFish, a free, open source Java EE 5–compliant application server.

 

What you’ll learn

• Use GlassFish TopLink persistence layer in conjunction with GlassFish Java EE application server.

• Use TopLink Essentials implementation of the Java Persistence API (JPA).

• Organize the database and persistence tiers of a Java EE application; and utilize MySQL or Oracle database when building the database tier.

• Work with EJB 3 JPA object/relational mapping features; plug JPA into Java EE transactional environment; and implement persistence with the EJB 3 EntityManager.

• Integrate and use JSF (web–tier) using emerging GlassFish JSF Framework (Scales) and other JSF tools/frameworks.

• Deploy applications to GlassFish Application Server.

 

Who is this book for?

The book is appropriate for Java developers who want to learn how to develop Java EE applications interacting with a relational database via the Java Persistence API (JPA) and an open source implementation in TopLink being donated by Oracle, and then deploy them to the open source GlassFish Application Server.
