Book Number: 46155
O'Reilly Media, Inc. 2006 8vo softcover 287pp index, b/w illus. good, cover creased. Product DescriptionnConsisting of a number of well-known open source products, JBoss is more a family of interrelated services than a single monolithic application. But, as with any tool that's as feature-rich as JBoss, there are number of pitfalls and complexities, too. nnMost developers struggle with the same issues when deploying J2EE applications on JBoss: they have trouble getting the many J2EE and JBoss deployment descriptors to work together; they have difficulty finding out how to get started; their projects don't have a packaging and deployment strategy that grows with the application; or, they find the Class Loaders confusing and don't know how to use them, which can cause problems. nn"JBoss at Work: A Practical Guide" helps developers overcome these challenges. As you work through the book, you'll build a project using extensive code examples. You'll delve into all the major facets of J2EE application deployment on JBoss, including JSPs, Servlets, EJBs, JMS, JNDI, web services, JavaMail, JDBC, and Hibernate. With the help of this book, you'll: nnImplement a full J2EE application and deploy it on JBossnnDiscover how to use the latest features of JBoss 4 and J2EE 1.4, including J2EE-compliant web servicesnnMaster J2EE application deployment on JBoss with EARs, WARs, and EJB JARsnnUnderstand the core J2EE deployment descriptors and how they integrate with JBoss-specific descriptorsnnBase your security strategy on JAAS nnWritten for Java developers who want to use JBoss on their projects, the book covers the gamut of deploying J2EE technologies on JBoss, providing a brief survey of each subject aimed at the working professional with limited time. nnIf you're one of thelegions of developers who have decided to give JBoss a try, then "JBoss at Work: A Practical Guide" is your next logical purchase. It'll show you in plain language how to use the fastest growing open source tool in the industry today. If you've worked with JBoss before, this book will get you up to speed on JBoss 4, JBoss WS (web services), and Hibernate 3. nnAbout the AuthornTom Marrs, a 20 year veteran in the software industry, is the principal and senior software architect at Vertical Slice, a consulting firm that designs and implements mission-critical business applications using the latest J2EE and open source technologies.

| Rescorla, Eric: SSL and TLS: Designing and Building Secure Systems
Book Number: 46159
Addison-Wesley Professional 2001 8vo softcover pp index, b/w illus. very good, top corner bent, a few pages have a little highlighting. Product Descriptionn(Pearson Education) Teaches the reader a firm grasp of the protocols of Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Security Layer Internet security protocols. Delivers the essential details about how SSL/TSS is supposed to behave, and crucial information for designers, security architects, and software engineers. Softcover. DLC: Computer networks--Security measures. nnFrom the Inside FlapnnnThe Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is by far the most widely deployed security protocol in the world. Essentially every commercial Web browser and server supports secure Web transactions using SSL. When you buy online using "secure" Web pages an estimated 20 billion dollars' worth of such transactions will occur in 2000), you're almost certainly using SSL. nnAlthough its most common use is for securing Web traffic, SSL is actually quite a general protocol suitable for securing a wide variety of kinds of traffic. File transfer (FTP), remote object access (RMI, CORBA IIOP), e-mail transmission (SMTP), remote terminal service (Telnet) and directory access (LDAP) are just some of the applications that have already been secured with SSL or its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS). nnThe effort to secure all these protocols has taught us a number of significant lessons. First, doing a good job of using SSL/TLS to secure a protocol requires having a fairly deep knowledge of how it works. It is not possible to simply treat SSL/TLS as a black box that somehow magically provides security when used. nnSecond, although each application is slightly different, there seems to be a set of security problems that are common to every application you wish to secure. For instance, we usually need to figure out some way for the insecure and secure versions of an application protocol to coexist. Although there aren't cookie-cutter solutions to these problems, the security community is starting to develop a common set of techniques for solving these problems using SSL/TLS. nnThese techniques can often be applied to a new application protocol with minimal modification. In essence, we've developed a set of design patterns for securing protocols. Much of the work of securing a system is in recognizing which pattern most closely matches the system you're working with and then using the appropriate techniques. nnThe purpose of this book, then, is to address both of these needs. After reading this book, you should know most if not all of what you need to know in order to design secure systems using SSL/TLS. You'll know enough about SSL/TLS to understand what security features it can deliver and what it can't deliver. Further, you'll be familiar with the common design patterns for using SSL/TLS and be ready to apply them to new situations.nnWhat This Book Provides This book is intended for anyone who wants to understand and use SSL/TLS.nnFor designers, it provides information on designing systems that use SSL/TLS as well as a library of the techniques that have already been used. For programmers who program with SSL/TLS, it provides information on what your libraries are doing under the covers and what those functions you're calling are really doing. Understanding these details is critical for obtaining acceptable and predictable application performance. For SSL/TLS implementors it acts as an adjunct to the standard, explaining obscure sections and describing both common practice and why things are the way they are.nnIntended Audience nnThis book assumes a basic familiarity with how the TCP/IP protocols work. Readers who are unfamiliar with TCP/IP would be best served to consult one of the many fine books describing TCP/IP. TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 Stevens1994a is a good choice. Postel1991a, Postel1991b, and Postel1991c provide the definitive reference for TCP/IP. Although some of this book will be understandable without a de

| Garcia-Molina, Hector: Database System Implementation
Book Number: 46165
Prentice Hall 2000 8vo softcover 653pp index, b/w illus. very good. Product DescriptionnThree well-known computer scientists at Stanford University-Hector Garcia-Molina, Jeffrey D. Ullman, and Jennifer Widom-have written one of the most comprehensive books on database system implementation. Hector Garcia- Molina pioneered this book at Stanford as a second database systems course for computer science majors and industry-based professionals. It focuses on the implementation of database systems, including storage structures, query processing, and transaction management. Database System Implementation is valuable as an academic textbook or a professional reference. Noteworthy Features *Provides extensive coverage of query processing, including major algorithms for execution of queries and techniques for optimizing queries *Covers information integration, including warehousing and mediators, OLAP, and data-cube systems *Explains error-correction in RAID disks and covers bitmap indexes, data mining, data statistics, and pointer swizzling *Supports additional teaching materials found on the book's Web page at http://www-db.stanford.edu/-html *For college courses Prentice Hall offers a two-book package discount with A First Course in Database Systems and Database System Implementation This text covers a broad spectrum of knowledge and technology. This carefully class-tested, highly readable presentation provides students or professionals with the next level of study. Written from the point of view of the database designer, user, and application programmer, this book provides practical advice from well-know experts on how to implement state-of-the-art database systems. nnFrom the Inside FlapnPreface nnThis book was designed for CS245, the second course in the database sequence at Stanford. Here, the first database course, CS145, covers database design and programming, for which the book A First Course in Database Systems by Jeff Ullman and Jennifer Widom, Prentice-Hall, 1997, was written. The CS245 course then covers implementation of a DBMS, notably storage structures, query processing, and transaction management. Use of the Book nnWe're on a quarter system at Stanford, so the principal course using this book - CS245 - is only ten weeks long. In the Winter of 1999, Hector Garcia-Molina used a "beta" version of this book, and covered the following parts: Sections 2.1-2.4, all of Chapters 3 and 4, Sections 5.1 and 5.2, Sections 6.1--6.7, Sections 7.1-7.4, all of Chapter 8, Chapter 9 except for Section 9.8, Sections 10.1-10.3, Section 11.1, and Section 11.5. nnThe balance of Chapters 6 and 7 (query optimization) is covered in an advanced course, CS346, where students implement their own DBMS. Other portions of the book that are not covered in CS245 may appear in another advanced course, CS347, which talks about distributed databases and advanced transaction processing. nnSchools that are on the semester system have the opportunity to combine the use of this book with its predecessor: A First Course in Database Systems. We recommend using that book in the first semester, coupled with a database-application programming project. The second semester could cover most or all of the content of this book. An advantage to splitting the study of databases into two courses is that students not planning to specialize in DBMS construction can take only the first course and be able to use databases in whatever branch of Computer Science they enter. Prerequisites nnThe course on which the book is based is rarely taken before the senior year, so we expect the reader to have a fairly broad background in the traditional areas of Computer Science. We assume that the reader has learned something about database programming, especially SQL. It is helpful to know about relational algebra and to have some familiarity with basic data structures. Likewise, some knowledge of file systems and operating systems is useful. Exercises nnThe book contains extensive exercises, with some for almost every s
