If you want exposure to the new open source lightweight SOA-driven Apache Beehive framework project, then pick up Pro Apache Beehive, the first book on this MVC Web framework, which is increasingly gaining interest in the Eclipse community through Eclipse Pollinate. Author Kunal Mittal addresses specific Beehive topics such as page flows, controls, JSR 181 web services, XMLBeans and more.

This book proceeds to describe how these technologies are used in WebLogic Workshop, and how other IDEs are extending support for these technologies. Mittal also compares PageFlows in Workshop to the Standard.

Pro Apache Struts with Ajax maps out how to use the Apache Struts MVC web framework, so you can solve everyday web application development challenges. This book takes an application-centric approach: the development of an application drives Struts along with Ajax coverage—not the other way around.

Improper design can lead to long-term dependencies on the Struts framework, which makes code reuse difficult to achieve. This is the only book of its kind, covering the Struts 1.2 framework. It also covers evolutions into Shale and lightweight WebWork/Struts Ti. Authors John Carnell and Rob Harrop discuss Struts from an antipattern perspective, and the end result is that you''ll learn to use Struts very effectively!

Pro Apache Tomcat 6 is ideal for Tomcat administrators and others who want to configure Tomcat. It covers only Tomcat 6 and doesn''t get bogged down trying to overexplain tasks from each older version of the server. The book examines the entire installation, including file system, database, and web server, and provides you with security and performance tips.

Author Matthew Moodie describes configuration files, as well as administration features like security, auto-deployment, remote deployment, and data sources. He gets right to the point and teaches you to use Tomcat without wasting time on Java or JSP introductions or excess discussion of JSP and Java code.
