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
- Web tier design and the place of the Web tier in a well-designed
J2EE application
- Effective data access techniques for J2EE applications with JDBC,
Hibernate, and JDO
- How to leverage open source products to improve productivity and
reduce custom coding
- How to design for optimal performance and scalability
