*Coincides with growing popularity of open source Drools rules engine *Likely the first and only Drools book on the market *Captures the big picture of rules usage, including testing and debugging

Building scalable, concurrent systems is hard. Think parallelism and we think about threads. Using threads for parallelism is not only difficult but also not scalable. You can only create a certain number of threads on a box. On the other hand you can create a million Akka actors on a box. Also it is difficult to scale out (parallel scaling) using threads. Any multi threaded application likely has the keyword synchronized peppered throughout the code base. It does not follow any pattern which ma...

One of the best ways for a Java programmer to stand out from the crowd is to become a Sun Certified Java Programmer, Developer, or Architect. This book helps Java developers prepare for all three certification exams. One of the strengths of this book is that it is extremely focused--it doesn't contain extraneous information, a history of Java, or background on related technologies. This book gives readers exactly what they need to pass the exams. This book also contains a uniques test engine (wr...

"Special Edition Using EJB 2.0" starts with a description of how EJB fits into the big picture of J2EE development, then covers such topics as locating EJB's using JNDI, managing data with EJB query language, building JMS applications using the new message-driven Bean, and planning EJB applications using design patterns.

Sun Microsystems--the creator of Java--offers a Certification Exam that programmers take to demonstrate their proficiency with the language. Passing the test can mean a higher salary or a better job. This book is the ultimate authority for taking the test--since the author of the book actually developed the exam for Sun! He designed and implemented the testing guidelines and wrote the questions! This Study Guide covers every exam objective defined by Sun--including sample questions and annotated...

Java Media APIs: Cross-Platform Imaging, Media, and Visualization presents integrated Java media solutions that demonstrate the best practices for using this diverse collection. According to Sun MicroSystems, "This set of APIs supports the integration of audio and video clips, animated presentations, 2D fonts, graphics, and images, as well as speech input/output and 3D models." By presenting each API in the context of its appropriate use within an integrated media application, the authors both i...

This volume explores the relationship between the JFC and Java 2D, aiming to show the reader how to solve complicated two-dimensional graphics problems. It also goes beyond the JFC, showing how to simulate the behaviour of the Java 3D package with Java2D. The authors use a four-step process: a detailed description of the goal and the best methods for solving it; a listing of portions of the JFC that apply to the problem, plus any custom algorithms needed; and a Java code sample that solves the p...
