Product Description

Product Description

Completely updated and revised, this is the second edition of the best-seller Core J2EE Patterns. J2EE has become the platform of choice for Web-centric distributed enterprise application development. Expert consultants from the Sun Java Center have identified powerful J2EE design patterns that lead to applications with superior performance, scalability, and robustness. This book brings those design patterns together, sharing Sun's best practices for development with Java Server Pages (JSP), Servlets, EJB, and other J2EE technologies. It presents a complete catalog of J2EE patterns encapsulating proven and recommended designs for common J2EE-related problems, organized into presentation tier, business tier and integration tier solutions. This second edition introduces new patterns, new refactorings, new patterns for using XML as well as new patterns for J2EE Web services. The authors also identify bad practices to be avoided. Finally, it presents an end-to-end multi-tier case study covering every stage of enterprise development.

From the Back Cover

"The Java landscape is littered with libraries, tools, and specifications. What's been lacking is the expertise to fuse them into solutions to real-world problems. These patterns are the intellectual mortar for J2EE software construction."
--John Vlissides, co-author of Design Patterns, the "Gang of Four" book

"The authors of Core J2EE Patterns have harvested a really useful set of patterns. They show how to apply these patterns and how to refactor your system to take advantage of them. It's just like having a team of experts sitting at your side."
--Grady Booch, Chief Scientist, Rational Software Corporation

"The authors do a great job describing useful patterns for application architectures. The section on refactoring is worth the price of the entire book!"
--Craig McClanahan, Struts Lead Architect and Specification Lead for JavaServer Faces

"Core J2EE Patterns is the gospel that should accompany every J2EE application server...Built upon the in-the-trenches expertise of its veteran architect authors, this volume unites the platform's many technologies and APIs in a way that application architects can use, and provides insightful answers to the whys, whens, and hows of the J2EE platform."
--Sean Neville, JRun Enterprise Architect, Macromedia

Developers often confuse learning the technology with learning to design with the technology. In this book, senior architects from the Sun Java Center share their cumulative design experience on Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technology.

The primary focus of the book is on patterns, best practices, design strategies, and proven solutions using the key J2EE technologies including JavaServer Pages(TM) (JSP(TM)), Servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans(TM) (EJB(TM)), and Java(TM) Message Service (JMS) APIs. The J2EE Pattern Catalog with 21 patterns and numerous strategies is presented to document and promote best practices for these technologies.

Core J2EE Patterns, Second Edition offers the following:

  • J2EE Pattern Catalog with 21 patterns--fully revised and newly documented patterns providing proven solutions for enterprise applications
  • Design strategies for the presentation tier, business tier, and integration tier
  • Coverage of servlets, JSP, EJB, JMS, and Web Services
  • J2EE technology bad practices
  • Refactorings to improve existing designs using patterns
  • Fully illustrated with UML diagrams
  • Extensive sample code for patterns, strategies, and refactorings

There are two obvious changes between this second edition and the first edition of this book. First, some new patterns have been added mostly dealing with web services. Second, the book has been released as a hard cover book, presumably because the publisher expects this to last on your shelf as long as the original "Design Pattern" book. The new patterns dealing with web services are a welcome addition to the book although anyone who is interested in this subject will probably want more detail such as found in Paul Monday's book.

Part 1 is an introduction to design patterns and the J2EE platform followed by a catalog of design considerations, bad practices and refactorings. Developers working with poorly designed J2EE applications will find this section especially helpful.

Part 2 is the collection of the design patterns and strategies. Each pattern is described in the expected level of detail. The format will remind you of the GoF book. Since this has become the standard format for presenting design patterns this should not be a surprise. The patterns are well thought, explained clearly, and demonstrated with some good code samples. If you have the first edition you will be very impressed with the improvements made in this new edition. It appears that virtually every pattern has been reworked to make the pattern easier to understand and use.

This is the book that every J2EE architect and programmer should have on their desk. Using the strategies in this book will make your applications more robust, make you more productive, and make your code easier to understand and maintain. Anyone designing, architecting, or coding with J2EE will find this book to be extremely useful.

Format:Hardcover
I enjoyed reading this book, and I have already found myself incorporating some of the material into my own programmes. Without reading any other books on server side patterns it is hard to judge, but I seems to me this covers most of what is needed on the server side (possibly a bit thin on web services).

However, I can't give this five stars due to all the typographical errors in it. It seems clear that either the authors, publishers, &/or printers simply got bored towards the end (for example page 521 is printed back-to-front). I note that neither of the previous reviewers mentions these errors.

Overall a good book, but the publishers should be ashamed they allowed so many errors to creep in.

Value for money 6 Sep 2004

During the summer vacations I took the chance to read this book, a very interesting catch if you're involved in Java Programming. Even if you're not a Patterns addict (I'm not) you can be sure to find some useful constructs in the book which will be unconsciously helpful to you while developing an application. Well written in a light, nevertheless effective way, with lots of examples, I read it in 4 days.
