Annotations
Distributed objects
Native methods, and more
For detailed coverage of fundamental Java SE 7 features, including objects, classes, inheritance, interfaces, reflection, events, exceptions, graphics, Swing, generics, collections, concurrency, and debugging, look for Core Java™, Volume I—Fundamentals, Ninth Edition (ISBN-13: 978-0-13-708189-9).
The #1 Java Guide for Serious Programmers: Fully Updated for Java SE 9, 10 & 11
For serious programmers, Core Java, Volume I—Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition, is the definitive guide to writing robust, maintainable code. Whether you’re using Java SE 9, 10, or 11, it will help you achieve a deep and practical understanding of the language and API, and its hundreds of realistic examples reveal the most powerful and effective ways to get the job done.
Cay Horstmann’s updated examples reflect Java’s long-awaited modularization, showing how to write code that’s easier to manage and evolve. You’ll learn how to use JShell’s new Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) for more rapid and exploratory development, and apply key improvements to the Process API, contended locking, logging, and compilation.
In this first of two volumes, Horstmann offers in-depth coverage of fundamental Java and UI programming, including objects, generics, collections, lambda expressions, Swing design, concurrency, and functional programming. If you’re an experienced programmer moving to Java SE 9, 10, or 11, there’s no better source for expert insight, solutions, and code.

AJAX and JavaServer Faces (Digital Short Cut)
by David Geary and Cay S Horstmann
Based on material from the forthcoming second edition of Core JavaServer™ Faces by David Geary and Cay Horstmann, this short cut explores how to use JavaServer Faces and AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript with XMLHttpRequest) to create rich user interfaces. Starting with a brief review of Ajax fundamentals, it goes on to cover
Implementing Ajax with a servlet in a JSF application
Using JSF phase listeners for more complex Ajax scenarios
Form completion and real-time validation
Accessing UI view state from an Ajax call
Client-side state saving and Ajax
Direct Web Remoting with DWR
Finally, after concisely explaining JSF components that wrap existing JavaScript components using Prototype, Scriptaculous, Dojo, and Rico, this Short Cut briefly explores how to use the Ajax4jsf framework to seamlessly integrate Ajax into JSF applications.
Writing for serious programmers solving real-world problems, Cay Horstmann deepens your understanding of today’s Java language and library. In this second of two updated volumes, he offers in-depth coverage of advanced topics including the new Streams API and date/time/calendar library, advanced Swing, security, code processing, and more. This guide will help you
Use the new Streams library to process collections more flexibly and efficiently
Efficiently access files and directories, read/write binary or text data, and serialize objects
Work with Java SE 8’s regular expression package
Make the most of XML in Java: parsing, validation, XPath, document generation, XSL, and more
Efficiently connect Java programs to network services
Program databases with JDBC 4.2
Elegantly overcome date/time programming complexities with the new java.time API
Write internationalized programs with localized dates/times, numbers, text, and GUIs
Process code with the scripting API, compiler API, and annotation processors
Enforce security via class loaders, bytecode verification, security managers, permissions, user authentication, digital signatures, code signing, and encryption
Master advanced Swing components for lists, tables, trees, text, and progress indicators
Produce high-quality drawings with the Java 2D API
Use JNI native methods to leverage code in other languages
