What is this book about?
Expert One-on-One J2EE Development without EJB shows Java developers and architects how to build robust J2EE applications without having to use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). This practical, code-intensive guide provides best practices for using simpler and more effective methods and tools, including JavaServer pages, servlets, and lightweight frameworks.
What does this book cover?
The book begins by examining the limits of EJB technology -- what it does well and not so well. Then the authors guide you through alternatives to EJB that you can use to create higher quality applications faster and at lower cost -- both agile methods as well as new classes of tools that have evolved over the past few years.
They then dive into the details, showing solutions based on the lightweight framework they pioneered on SourceForge -- one of the most innovative open source communities. They demonstrate how to leverage practical techniques and tools, including the popular open source Spring Framework and Hibernate. This book also guides you through productive solutions to core problems, such as transaction management, persistence, remoting, and Web tier design. You will examine how these alternatives affect testing, performance, and scalability, and discover how lightweight architectures can slash time and effort on many projects.
What will you learn from this book?
Here are some details on what you'll find in this book:
- How to find the simplest and most maintainable architecture for your application
- Effective transaction management without EJB
- How to solve common problems in enterprise software development using AOP and Inversion of Control

Summary: Very informative
Comment: Author is very down-to-earth and practical. Not technology high on latest/greatest. Recognizes that we are building business solutions and not technology solutions.

Summary: Component and J(2)EE development classic
Comment: By now a classic, this book eloquently expressed how the Corba component design committees came up with an EJB specification that was not an ideal cornerstone for all J(2)EE applications. Although very fit for selected purposes the early EJB specs had to evolve to EJB 3 to really leverage the power of Java. Fundamentals of component based flexibility often lost on OO design are explained well, regardless of whether one decides to use Spring the alleviate the risks around it.

Summary: The book needs an update
Comment: This book introduces the Spring framework strategy as an alternative to J2EE which is GREAT. I noticed this book is far behind while comparing to the latest updates to Spring framework. Now, I am looking for updated code example and how-tos.
Customer Rating:
Summary: NOT suitable for SE and developer
Comment: It does not fit for Software Engineer or Developer at all. EJB has bad performance though, it is a well-known fact, no need to say lots on the point. This book is like an advertisement for Spring Framework, but no directly and clear outline of Spring. From beginning to end, the book wrote lots verbose concepts about java, no real touch of authentic content. Although Rod is famous and experience on Java, this book might be an artitechure knowledge book, not good for level below intermedia java developers and SEs.
