Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Patterns are basically design solutions for recurring problems, so Core J2EE Patterns are recurring design solutions for those using J2EE. The authors break these down into presentation, business and integration patterns.
As is usual with pattern books you won't find much code here. The book majors on problem discussions, analysis of the factors you should consider in your design and strategies for the solution implementation.
The authors constantly encourage abstraction, code modularity, non-duplication of code, network efficiency, code maintainability and solution reusability.
While these are the aims we've been encouraged to pursue for years too many pattern books operate at such a high theoretical level they fail to appeal to working programmers. In practice, you could use the patterns discussed with any language but by concentrating on using Java Core J2EE Patterns is able to take a more hands-on approach.
OK, you won't find detail at the level of APIs here, but you will find discussion of where to implement functionality to best leverage Java's architecture and which Java mechanisms to use: for example, implementing entity beans as coarse-grained--rather than fine-grained--objects to reduce the transaction overhead. Not the sort of implementation advice you'll find in language-agnostic pattern books.
Core J2EE Patterns enables you to dramatically cut the design time on enterprise level Java based projects while increasing the likelihood that the project will reach a timely fruition. --Steve Patient

This book is excellent. It sets out to tell the reader what are the best practises for J2EE development and how to achieve them, and does just that.
Strangely, the 'bad practice' sections are my favorite, as they explain common mistakes and best of all how to correct them! This is an invaluable guide to the complexities of multi-tier J2EE applications and I would recommend it to anyone who has tried to design such a system.
While it won't solve all your problems for you, it is a well written, easy to follow book which will help you think through the difficulties you are bound to find with such a complex technology.
If you work in a team, try and get everyone to read it!!!

This is by far the best Java-specific design book available in the market. Many programmers have taken the learning path from Java 1.0/1.1 to Java2 to J2EE and are now looking for how to do it most professionally. I recommend this book and 'Enterprise Java Performance' (part of the same series) without reservation.

Not another line of code for Servlets, JSPs, or EJBs should be written by anyone who hasn't read this book and understood the concepts explained. This book is about best practices in designing and coding J2EE applications. The lessons explained here were developed by the Sun Java Center based on their work in the field. As they developed applications for clients they noticed that the same problems occurred over and over again. This book documents the standard solutions to solve these problems that were built as a catalog of design patterns and best practices.
Part 1 is an introduction to design patterns and the J2EE platform. Part 2 is a catalog of bad practices (the authors describe these as, "less than optimal ways to solve problems"), and refactorings (ways to correct these problems). Developers working with poorly designed J2EE applications will find this section especially helpful.
In Part 3, fifteen separate design patterns and strategies are explained. Each pattern is described in detail with the motivation for using the pattern and the design goals to be achieved. UML class and sequence diagrams are included along with detailed code examples that serve to further clarify the pattern. These patterns aren't theoretical constructs but rather are practical strategies that can be applied to real world applications. Using the strategies in this book will make you more productive and your code easier to understand and maintain.
Anyone designing, architecting, or coding with J2EE will find this book to be extremely useful.

Brilliant, but verbose
Like most patterns books, it's an excellent piece of work, but very verbose with lots of repetition, cross references to cross references and more repetition. Read more
