The revised edition of the classicCore Javatrade;, Volume IIAdvanced Features,covers advanced user-interface programming and the enterprise features of the Java SE 6 platform. Like Volume I (which covers the core language and library features), this volume has been updated for Java SE 6 and new coverage is highlighted throughout. All sample programs have been carefully crafted to illustrate the latest programming techniques, displaying best-practices solutions to the types of real-world problems professional developers encounter. Volume II includes new sections on the StAX API, JDBC 4, compiler API, scripting framework, splash screen and tray APIs, and many other Java SE 6 enhancements. In this book, the authors focus on the more advanced features of the Java language, including complete coverage of Streams and Files Networking Database programming XML JNDI and LDAP Internationalization Advanced GUI components Java 2D and advanced AWT JavaBeans Security RMI and Web services Collections Annotations Native methods For thorough coverage of Java fundamentalsincluding interfaces and inner classes, GUI programming with Swing, exception handling, generics, collections, and concurrencylook for the eighth edition ofCore Javatrade;, Volume IFundamentals(ISBN: 978-0-13-235476-9 ).

The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any access cards, study guides, lab manuals, CDs, etc.

The Used, Rental and eBook copies of this book are not guaranteed to include any supplemental materials. Typically, only the book itself is included. This is true even if the title states it includes any access cards, study guides, lab manuals, CDs, etc.

To the ReaderThe book you have in your hands is the second volume of the eighth edition ofCore Java ,fully updated for Java SE 6. The first volume covers the essential features of the language; this volume covers the advanced topics that a programmer will need to know for professional software development. Thus, as with the first volume and the previous editions of this book, we are still targeting programmers who want to put Java technology to work on real projects.Please note: If you are an experienced developer who is comfortable with advanced language features such as inner classes and generics, you need not have read the first volume in order to benefit from this volume. While we do refer to sections of the previous volume when appropriate (and, of course, hope you will buy or have bought Volume I), you can find the needed background material in any comprehensive introductory book about the Java platform.Finally, when any book is being written, errors and inaccuracies are inevitable. We would very much like to hear about them should you find any in this book. Of course, we would prefer to hear about them only once. For this reason, we have put up a web site at http://horstmann.com/corejava with an FAQ, bug fixes, and workarounds. Strategically placed at the end of the bug report web page (to encourage you to read the previous reports) is a form that you can use to report bugs or problems and to send suggestions for improvements to future editions. About This BookThe chapters in this book are, for the most part, independent of each other. You should be able to delve into whatever topic interests you the most and read the chapters in any order.The topic ofChapter 1is input and output handling. In Java, all I/O is handled through so-calledstreams. Streams let you deal, in a uniform manner, with communications among various sources of data, such as files, network connections, or memory blocks. We include detailed coverage of the reader and writer classes, which make it easy to deal with Unicode. We show you what goes on under the hood when you use the object serialization mechanism, which makes saving and loading objects easy and convenient. Finally, we cover the "new I/O" classes (which were new when they were added to Java SE 1.4) that support efficient file operations, and the regular expression library.Chapter 2covers XML. We show you how to parse XML files, how to generate XML, and how to use XSL transformations. As a useful example, we show you how to specify the layout of a Swing form in XML. This chapter has been updated to include the XPath API, which makes "finding needles in XML haystacks" much easier.Chapter 3covers the networking API. Java makes it phenomenally easy to do complex network programming. We show you how to make network connections to servers, how to implement your own servers, and how to make HTTP connections.Chapter 4covers database programming. The main focus is on JDBC, the Java database connectivity API that lets Java programs connect to relational databases. We show you how to write useful programs to handle realistic database chores, using a core subset of the JDBC API. (A complete treatment of the JDBC API would require a book almost as long as this one.) We finish the chapter with a brief introduction into hierarchical databases and discuss JNDI (the Java Naming and Directory Interface) and LDAP (the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).Chapter 5discusses a feature that we believe can only grow in importanceinternationalization. The Java programming language is one of the few languages designed from the start to handle Unicode, but the internationalization support in the Java platform goes much further.
