About the Author
Rod Johnson is an enterprise Java architect specializing in scalable web applications. Rod spent two years designing and delivering a J2EE solution for FT.com, Europe's largest business portal, before trekking to Everest Base Camp, parenting a baby, and writing this book. He would like to thank Tristan for providing the toughest of these challenges.
Rod completed an arts degree majoring in music and computer science at the University of Sydney. He obtained a PhD in musicology before returning to software development. With a background in C and C++, Rod has worked with both Java and J2EE since their release. He is currently a member of JSR 154 Expert Group defining the Servlet 2.4 specification.

He has presented at international conferences including Times Java, Mumbai (2001), and his writing has been featured on java.sun.com.
An Australian, Rod is currently living and working in London.

Note | Although all authors seem to thank their families, I had no idea how richly such gratitude was deserved until I wrote this book. Above all, I would like to thank my wife, Kerry, for her love and support throughout a lengthy and stressful process. Others to give generous support include my parents-in-law, Don and Dana Jamieson. Of those who have given practical help, I would like to thank my editor, Craig Berry, for helping me to distill a huge topic into a book; and my former colleague, Dominic Fisher, for his business insight and valuable help in formulating realistic requirements for the sample application. |
