Chapter 1 provides an overview of Java and explains why knowing Java will be useful to ColdFusion developers.
Chapter 2 introduces the new Java-based ColdFusion MX architecture, and provides a focus and orientation to the world of Java.
Chapter 3 looks at Java data structures, including memory and storage of data on the stack and the heap, data structures, and more.
Chapter 4 delves into programming structures and the basic tools needed to code in Java, including strings and arrays, loops , and conditional logic.
Chapter 5 steps back a bit from syntax and examines the concepts of object-oriented application design and object-oriented programming.
Chapter 6 details the ins and outs of the popular integrated development environments.
Chapter 7 covers objects and classes and how they are used.
Chapter 8 examines exceptions and how Java extends the exceptions concept.
Chapter 9 works deeper into advanced object-oriented concepts including inheritance, interfaces, abstract classes and methods , and reflection.
Chapter 10 shows how to use Java extensions to extend the ColdFusion environment.
Chapter 11 describes Java's Collections interfaces and classes, and shows how and when to implement them.
Chapter 12 adds detailed coverage of database connectivity with JDBC to the discussion.
Chapter 13 brings Java to the server, including the use of servlets and integrating ColdFusion MX and J2EE.
Chapter 14 explains how to extend Web sites with JavaServer Pages; coverage includes JSP tags, directives, scriptlets, and expressions.
Chapter 15 reveals how to write and deploy custom JSP tags, as well as how to import JSP tag libraries into ColdFusion MX.
Chapter 16 caps off our coverage of Java and ColdFusion with an in-depth case study of an e-commerce Web site, complete with all of the code needed for a working application.
Appendix A is a reference for the syntax of comments, directives, scripting elements, standard actions, and implicit objects for JSP 1.2.
Appendix B outlines the classes and interfaces in the JSP 1.2 and Servlet 2.3 specifications.
Appendix C provides a glossary of key terms.
Appendix D provides a useful and interesting list of Java Internet resources.
Appendix E serves as a quick reference guide and resource index.
In the next chapter, we will explore the Java-based ColdFusion MX architecture and get an introduction to Java. By the end of the chapter, we will have written our first Java program.
