Java developers typically go through four "stages" in mastering Java. In the first
stage, they learn the language itself. In the second stage, they study the APIs.
In the third stage, they become proficient in the environment. It is in the fourth
stage --"the expert stage"-- where things really get interesting, and Java
Enterprise Best Practices is the tangible compendium of experience that developers
need to breeze through this fourth and final stage of Enterprise Java mastery.
Crammed with tips and tricks, Java Enterprise Best Practices distills years
of solid experience from eleven experts in the J2EE environment into a practical,
to-the-point guide to J2EE.
Java Enterprise Best Practices gives developers the unvarnished, expert-tested
advice that the man pages don't provide--what areas of the APIs should be used
frequently (and which are better avoided); elegant solutions to problems you face
that other developers have already discovered; what things you should always do,
what things you should consider doing, and what things you should never do--even
if the documentation says it's ok.
Until Java Enterprise Best Practices, Java developers in the fourth stage
of mastery relied on the advice of a loose-knit community of fellow developers,
time-consuming online searches for examples or suggestions for the immediate problem
they faced, and tedious trial-and-error. But Java has grown to include a huge
number of APIs, classes, and methods. Now it is simply too large for even the
most intrepid developer to know it all. The need for a written compendium of J2EE
Best Practices has never been greater.
Java Enterprise Best Practices focuses on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition
(J2EE) APIs. The J2EE APIs include such alphabet soup acronyms as EJB, JDBC, RMI,
XML, and JMX. Java Enterprise Best Practices is a companion title to Java
Best Practices, which covers the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) APIs, such
as Swing, the collections classes, performance tuning, and NIO.

Good reference for an experienced J2EE pro
While it's a relatively short book and the organization has a slight cut-and-paste feel to it (it is self-described as "distilled"), has a nice mix of strategies and tips as well as concrete examples and code bits. Though not as essential as some O'Reilly books, it's a useful reference for someone who already has some experience with J2EE implementations and is looking for ways to improve them.
