Rather than simply present another catalog of design patterns, 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 into areas not covered in other books, presenting original patterns for data modeling, transaction / process modeling, and interoperability. J2EE Design Patterns offers extensive coverage of the five problem areas enterprise developers face:<ul> <li>Maintenance (Extensibility)</li> <li>Performance (System Scalability)</li> <li>Data Modeling (Business Object Modeling)</li> <li>Transactions (process Modeling)</li> <li>Messaging (Interoperability)</li></ul> And with its careful balance between theory and practice, J2EE Design Patterns will 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 will give experienced J2EE pros an opportunity to extend and improve on their existing experience. ]]> 135300 4.00 5 1 189045 3.86 70 11 1307839 0871001683 9780871001689 0 <![CDATA[The Keepers of Light]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1307839.The_Keepers_of_Light 5.00 1 135300 4.00 5 1 1144285 0871001586 9780871001580 1 <![CDATA[The Keepers of Light: A History and Working Guide to Early Photographic Processes]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1144285.The_Keepers_of_Light_A_History_and_Working_Guide_to_Early_Photographic_Processes 4.00 1 135300 4.00 5 1 1144284 0452261333 9780452261334 0 <![CDATA[Thai Home-Cooking from Kamolmal's Kitchen]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1144284.Thai_Home_Cooking_from_Kamolmal_s_Kitchen 4.00 1 135300 4.00 5 1 5856141 1931424071 0 <![CDATA[Temporary Military Lodging Around the World]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5856141.Temporary_Military_Lodging_Around_the_World 0.0 0 135300 4.00 5 1 6754571 1931424144 9781931424141 0 <![CDATA[Military Travel Guide U.S.A.]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6754571-military-travel-guide-u-s-a 0.0 0 135300 4.00 5 1 725936 5.00 1 0 1402317 0.0 0 0 3784687 0875850979 9780875850979 0 <![CDATA[Report on the Penitentiaries of the United States (Patterson Smith reprint series in criminology, law enforcement, and social problems.

Beginning with JDBC database programming, the book gives a chapter-by-chapter tour of various enterprise development APIs, including program strategies for each API. For JDBC, the book includes new Java 2 JDBC enhancements like batch and recordsets.

Next comes Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) classes for calling remote code. Then it's on to using Java IDL and CORBA basics. A chapter on Java servlets will get you started delivering dynamically generated HTML using Java on Web servers, including useful material on cookies and session management. After coverage of the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) comes a solid exploration of EJBs with material on both session and entity beans. Specifics here include home and remote interfaces, EJB containers, stateless vs. stateful session beans, and entity beans for accessing corporate databases.

Overall, this handy and readable guide to the latest in Java APIs can be truly invaluable to the developer bringing Java to the corporate enterprise for the first time. --Richard Dragan

Plus, it's a topnotch reference for all enterprise classes. Part tutorial and part reference work that you can use everyday at your desk, this title is a worthwhile resource for any Java developer building Web or enterprise software.

The practical, succinct focus here on actual Java enterprise APIs helps distinguish this text from the pack. Early sections provide short, clear examples along with just enough background to help you use APIs like JDBC, servlets and JSPs, EJBs, and others. Coverage of Java's ability to interface with legacy CORBA systems is just excellent, with a full tour of Java IDL, CORBA services, and Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Typically, readers will be familiar with some J2EE APIs and not others. This book can help fill in the gaps.

Updated with the latest standards from Sun, including JDBC 3.0, Servlet 2.3, and EJB 2.0, this is an essential primer for today's high-end (and high-paying) Java. The basic presentation of servlets/JSP and EJBs (among the most important APIs for current Java Web development) is concise and nicely digestible. We also liked the chapter on JMS for messaging (also a hotbed of Java job activity).

The second half of this text lists every J2EE class, along with methods and properties, in a very valuable reference section that makes good use of two-toned shading for easy access. Entries are organized by package name. (One small oversight here is that an index of cross-listed packages, classes, and methods omits page numbers.)

Overall, this book is truly indispensable for any working Java programmer. The second edition of Java Enterprise in a Nutshell is a fully up-to-date tutorial and reference that lives up to the standards of O'Reilly's Nutshell series. Both thorough and concise, it's a handy resource for anyone who works with the hundreds and thousands of Java enterprise APIs on a regular basis. --Richard Dragan
