Product Description

A lot of programming involves solving the same kinds of basic problems. Well, what if a community of experts got together and pooled their knowledge to come up with the best programming practices for solving these problems? You would have what are known as design patterns.
Author Floyd Marinescu, a leading expert on EJB, worked with the members of the EJB community of TheServerSide.com to put their collective knowledge together to build a library of design patterns, strategies, and best practices for EJB design and development. This treasure–trove of proven best practices will allow developers to quickly solve difficult programming assignments. Unlike other patterns books, this book goes beyond high–level designs to the actual code for implementing them, saving developers countless hours of time and effort when building scalable, reliable, and maintainable EJB systems.

Core book every EJB Architect should have
This book along with the Mastering Enterprise JavasBeans 2nd Edition book by Ed Roman should form the core of every J2EE bookstore. Roman and Marinescu are the core of The Middleware Company, who run the theServerSide.com, which is merely the best website on J2EE, EJB particularly.

Where does this book depart from the EJB crowd? Real-world expertise. Marinescu and Roman tell you what the best-practices are for EJB and why. Marinescu even tells you what the viable alternatives are. He devotes an entire chapter to alternatives to using Entity EJB beans (basically JDO) which has to be a first for an EJB book!

Another thing which surprises is that this is in no way a rehash of the GOF series. I'm not sneering at this kind of book (Applied Java Patterns is a favorite), but these are fresh patterns very much tailored to EJB experience.

I'll buy a book if a single chapter adds to my understanding of something important. But I will be reading and re-reading every single word of this one.

Invaluable.
