Netscape's Server-Side JavaScript (SSJS) is an extended version of JavaScript(TM). It is included with Netscape Web servers and supports back-end access to databases, file systems, and servers. SSJS offers Web developers a fast and efficient way to develop dynamic, interactive applications that can be accessed through a Web server, and features better performance than applications developed with CGI. Written by two of the most respected authorities on Web server technology, Server-Side JavaScript provides all the information you need to begin developing integrated applications for the Web. This book includes a detailed tutorial to SSJS containing real-world code, examples, tips, and tricks from the authors' projects. It features a comprehensive presentation of the structure, commands, and syntax of the language and includes a comparison of client-side and server-side JavaScript. This book will help you master key server-side techniques such as state and session management and database and file system access. It contains a wealth of material not found in any other SSJS book.Accurate, timely, and grounded in the realities of enterprise development, Server-Side JavaScript demonstrates how to put SSJS to work, citing numerous examples that solve programming challenges.
In addition, it provides instructions and examples for integrating Server-Side JavaScript with other popular technologies, including CGI, LDAP, relational databases, and Java. You will find detailed explanations on such topics as: *Working with databases *Accessing LDAP Directories *Uploading files to the server *Using the SSJS database API objects and connection pools *Integrating SSJS with Java *Managing state and sessions, including SuperClient *Using JavaScript with HTML forms *Sending HTML e-mail messages with MIME attachments The CD-ROM includes sample SSJS applications for all the examples in the book, a wealth of online DevEdge reference materials, LDAP and Messaging SDKs, an evaluation copy of NetObjects ScriptBuilder, and more. 020143329XB04062001
