Busy Programers Guide to Java part 2

Presented By Adam Haskell

All developers are busy and somehow amongst all our projects we need to learn about new technologies. We've already tackled part of Java's environment but we still need to explore the web side of Java. In this session we'll explore the web side of Java in the context of our CFML applications. We'll take an in depth dive into how Java web applications work. We'll look at what a Java Application Server is and how it works. We'll explore the difference between a JEE App Server and a servlet container, and why you might care. We'll explore Web Application Archives (WARs) and Enterprise Application Archives (EARs). We'll also discover what that web.xml file does and how we can use it to integrate with other web software. Finally we'll learn how to leverage custom written Java in our CFML applications.
