Volume 1 of this advanced 3-volume guide explores the infrastructure issues so important to
good application design. It isn't just a book about Entity Beans and JNDI. It takes you step by
step through building the back end, designing the data store so that it gives you convenient
access to the data your application needs; designing a directory; figuring out how to handle
security and where to store security credentials you need; and so on.
