Product Description

Review

"It goes into areas that other pattern books don't reach." VSJ, April


Product Description

Architects of buildings and architects of software have more in common than most people think. Both professions require attention to detail, and both practitioners will see their work collapse around them if they make too many mistakes. It's impossible to imagine a world in which buildings get built without blueprints, but it's still common for software applications to be designed and built without blue prints, or in this case, design patterns. A software design pattern can be identified as "a recurring solution to a recurring problem." Using design patterns for software development makes sense in the same way that architectural design patterns make sense - if it works well in one place, why not use it in another? But developers have had enough of books that simply catalog design patterns without extending into new areas, and books that are so theoretical that you can't actually do anything better after reading them than you could before you started. This book approaches the subject in a practical and pragmatic way. The authors broaden the scope by discussing ways to choose design patterns when building an enterprise application from scratch, looking closely at the real world tradeoffs that Java developers must weigh when architecting their applications. Then they go on to show how to apply the patterns when writing realworld software. They also extend design patterns, presenting original patterns for data modelling, transaction/process modeling, and interoperability. The book offers extensive coverage of the five problem areas enterprise developers face: maintenance (extensibility); performance (system scalability; data modelling (business object modeling); transactions (process modelling);and messaging (interoperability) And with its careful balance between theory and practice, "J2EE Design Patterns" should give developers new to the Java enterprise development arena a solid understanding of how to approach a wide variety of architectural and procedural problems, and should give experienced J2EE pros an opportunity to extend and improve on their existing experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable, but technically detailed and practical, 24 April 2004
By Nicholas Dunn (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Like all O'Reilly books this is very readable and enjoyable and, at thesame time technically accurate and informative.
It provides a goodintroduction to, and overview of, design patterns for the developer whohasn't got much experience in this area, but expands upon the explanationsof each pattern with some Java code.
As an added bonus the first two chapters give some good backgroundmaterial to help put the material in context. Chapter 1 gives a briefsimple explanation of J2EE architecture, for anyone who needs a reminderof the fundamental principles and Chapter 2 gives a crash course in UML.There is enough UML information for a beginner to understand the basicconcepts (and the diagrams later in the book) and this chapter providesjust the right level of detail, both to get started and move on to some ofthe more in-depth stuff.
In the rest of the book there's a good balancebetween code, text and diagrams with enough code to give you a start andmake the ideas seem real, enough text to give a proper explanation andenough UML to make the concepts clear and also improve your understandingof UML (if you think you need it).
There are a wide range of patternscovered and in some ways it resembles the O'Reilly 'cookbooks' with samplecode provided for different tasks and explanations of how to accomplishthem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to J2EE for me, 22 Dec 2006
By Tomas Vondra (Czech Republic, Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book about 2 months ago and it served me as a great introduction into J2EE platform. This book definitely is not a detailed reference guide to all the features in J2EE nor it is a pattern catalogue (though there is a list of J2EE patterns in an appendix) - it just gives you an overview of problems you have to solve in enterprise applications and the 'proper' ways to solve them in J2EE. Don't expect huge amounts of source code or step-by-step tutorial how to build enterprise application.

And the last chapter - J2EE antipatterns - is an excellent tutorial 'how not to do it' ie. solutions that look great at the beginning but became a nightmare during the application's lifetime.

Anyway, great book for all of you who know at lest little about Java (intermediate level is absolutely fine) and enterprise applications (generally just what are we trying to solve in those) - this book will give you an overview of tools available in J2EE.
