The release of the 1.3 version of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) represents the evolution of Sun Microsystems' server-side development platform into a more mature and sophisticated specification. Servlets 2.3 gain events and filtering; JavaServer Pages (JSP) 1.2 gain a new XML syntax and enhancements to the custom tag mechanisms; and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 2.0 has some significant changes to its container-managed persistence model, as well as support for asynchronous processing with the new message-driven beans. 
 This book demonstrates how to design and construct secure and scalable n-tier J2EE applications, using JSP and servlets for the web tier and EJBs for the business logic. It also covers J2EE Connector Architecture that allows you to easily integrate your J2EE applications to enterprise information systems. 
 This book covers: 
<li>The J2EE container architecture and runtime services 
</li>
<li>Web component development with Servlets 2.3 and JavaServer Pages 1.2 
</li>
<li>Business logic components with EJB 2.0, including container-managed persistence, EJB QL, and message-driven beans 
</li>
<li>Underlying J2EE technologies for distributed development - RMI, JDBC and JNDI 
</li>
<li>Introduction to Web Services covering SOAP, SwA, WSDL, and UDDI 
</li>

The results of using J2EE in practice are often disappointing: applications are often slow, unduly complex, and take too long to develop. Rod Johnson believes that the problem lies not in J2EE itself, but in that it is often used badly. Many J2EE publications advocate approaches that, while fine in theory, often fail in reality, or deliver no real business value. 
 Expert One-on-One: J2EE Design and Development aims to demystify J2EE development. Using a practical focus, it shows how to use J2EE technologies to reduce, rather than increase, complexity. Rod draws on his experience of designing successful high-volume J2EE applications and salvaging failing projects, as well as intimate knowledge of the J2EE specifications, to offer a real-world, how-to guide on how you too can make J2EE work in practice. 
 It will help you to solve common problems with J2EE and avoid the expensive mistakes often made in J2EE projects. It will guide you through the complexity of the J2EE services and APIs to enable you to build the simplest possible solution, on time and on budget. Rod takes a practical, pragmatic approach, questioning J2EE orthodoxy where it has failed to deliver results in practice and instead suggesting effective, proven approaches. 
 This book is of value to most enterprise developers. Although some of the discussion (for example, on performance and scalability) will be most relevant to architects and lead developers, the practical focus makes it useful to anyone with some familiarity with J2EE. Because of the complete design-deployment coverage, a less advanced developer could work through the book along with a more introductory text, and successfully build and understand the sample application. This comprehensive coverage would also be useful to developers in smaller organisations, who might be called upon to fill several normally distinct roles. 
 Over the course of the book, you will learn: 
 When to use a distributed architecture When and how to use EJB How to develop an efficient data access strategy How to design a clean and maintainable web interface How to design J2EE applications for performance

a Novel of the life and Times of James B. Stuart in Early Montana When James B. Stuart came to Montana's Bitterroot Valley in the 1860's at the time of the gold rush at Grasshopper Gulch and Virginia City in what was then the Territory of Montana, he didn't know that he'd follow a path in pursuit of riches quite different from most of those who migrated to the gold diggings. In "Another Man's Gold," Rod Johnson has written a wonderful story, in historical novel form, about a man who was a cattle drover, prospector, one of Montana's first cattle ranchers, a vigilante, a personal friend of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, and among them he first to choose Montana's beautiful Bitterroot Valley as their home. Stuart lived a stalwart, pioneer life and played a major part in Montana's early history. 6X9-inch format 172 pages, richly illustrated by Lance Johnson.

Much has been written about the dramatic story of the Pony Express riders and most of us identify with their role in the saga of the American West, but very little has been written or dramatized about the "express riders" -- men who secretly carried gold from the remote mining camps of the West to the banking centers in the big cities. These "express riders" risked their lives every time they hauled the precious metal from the gold fields of Montana, Idhao, Nevada or elsewhere to such places as Sacramento or San Francisco in Califoria. They often had to outwit, out-ride or out-shoot organized thieves -- men who would bushwhack them for the gold they carried, men who, because of the lawlessness of the western territories, moved as afreely and openly in the mining camps as did the express riders and the lawmen who worked with them. As a result, many express riders fell victim to these outlaws. Author Rod Johnson has a direct tie to one of the express riders who worked across the gold diggings of the American West -- one of his great-grandfathers, Bruce Jones, who beame an "Express Rider" in the gold fields of California. Jones ultimately worked in the gold camps of Idaho and Montana where he spent several years coping with a protagonist by the name of Henry Plummer, right up to the final days of Plummer's life when he and several of his cohorts were strung up by Monana Vigilantes. This book is based on Bruce Jones' adventures as an express rider. Bruce Jones subsequently quit the dangerous job of express riding, settled near the small town of Stevensville in Monana's Bitterroot Valley, and took up cattle ranching in partnership with another pioneer of the Montan gold fields, James B. Stuart, who also was one of the author's great-grandfathers and whose own dramatic story was told in Johnson's first book, "Another Man's Gold."
