Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Building Java Enterprise Applications: Architecture is the first of a series aiming to show how to fit the various Java technologies together to build complete applications. As the author observes, it is easy to find resources covering a particular technology, such as Enterprise JavaBeans or Java Servlets, but hard to find an explanation of how to choose the right APIs and connect them correctly. This title covers the back-end, primarily the database, directory server and Enterprise JavaBeans. Other titles in the series cover Web applications and Web services.
The topic is a large one, so you might expect a lengthy volume. In fact, this book is refreshingly short, with around 300 pages. The reason is that the author does not attempt to duplicate other books that cover topics like Enterprise JavaBeans in detail, but rather to show where these technologies fit in the overall architecture. Even so, there is plenty of code to chew on, as the book runs through the planning and implementation of an example application, this time for a fictitious investment broker.
The first half of the book looks briefly at requirement analysis and then covers the data layer, looking at how to design the data store, using a directory server for user management, and coding an Entity EJB to provide access to the database. Next comes implementing a manager component for interacting with the LDAP directory server. After completing the data layer, the author turns to the business logic, looking at a component to control user accounts and examining state management. Finally, the example application has a scheduling element, which makes a good introduction to use of the JMS (Java Messaging Service). The book closes with details of how to set up the application on BEA WebLogic, and provides all the example code.
Overall, the book is a little too brief, leaving significant gaps in what is covered. There is nothing on the use of modelling, for example. Even so, it makes an excellent case study, combining a high-level view that simplifies complex APIs with example code that puts theory into practice. --Tim Anderson

The J2EE novice will find it an invaluable guide to avoiding the pitfalls that can trap the inexperienced developer.

I own many books on servlet programming, jsp and ejb, not to mention JDBC and JNDI etc. I wanted a
book to address how to connect all of these in a cohesive structure. I am pleased to say that this book delivers on what it sets out to do.
book to address how to connect all of these in a cohesive structure. I am pleased to say that this book delivers on what it sets out to do.
The writing style is clear and concise with great diagrams and example snippets.
If, like me, you have been using servlets and other j2ee technology and want a good reference for linking all the elements you currently have and turning them into a solid, well/written product then this book...is for you.
Reccommended.

Excellent book that tries to show you how to write a complete applicaiton. There are serveral important bits missing from the book and references to the website are frequent. The website does not actually give the descriptor files and this would be helpful to build the application.
Would buy it though just for the use of several patterns and its connection to LDAP.

Format:Paperback
I recently received this book and read it in one go. This is possible mostly because it's relatively short and covers a few things that are either so basic (what is a relational database) or outdated (EJB 2.0) that the only relevant sections are those covering architecture.
The title implies that does should be the grunt of the material but alas, it's little more than a basic overview of enterprise application architecture. Most of this book's content seemed a bit too basic and obvious to be of much use.
In short, there are better books out there.
