Completely updated to cover changes in the Java 2 SDK, 1.3.1, Java for COBOL Programmers, 2/E uses COBOL examples to teach object-oriented principles and Java's syntax. Written for COBOL programmers transitioning to Java, the step-by-step examples show users how to convert COBOL's structured programming into object-oriented concepts without assuming knowledge of C or C++. New chapters expand the treatment of Enterprise Java technologies, including Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Servlets and Java Server Pages (JSP), and Enterprise Java Beans (EJB).
