Editorial Reviews

Product Description
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. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD ASSISTANT FOR DEVELOPERS, January 26, 2003

By	reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews

The purpose of "Java Enterprise Best Practices" is to assist Java developers in getting around the complexities, which are part of a typical enterprise system.
The neatly summarized chapters of this book harbour concise and comprehensive outlines, which should guide developers in designing and coordinating projects, using the Java Enterprise APIs.
Despite its small size, this book did a good job on JavaMail, JavaServer Pages, Enterprise JavaBeans, Performance tuning, JDBC, and RMI/CORBA. However, some users may not be satisfied with the rather short information it provided on both XML and Custom Tag Libraries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, January 21, 2003

By	"snautal12" (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews

A nice surprise. The book is very J2EE and web application knowledgable.

A small part of the book had choppy flow--a few rough spots. Mostly (90%) of the book is well written. Generally the book is easy to follow even for a beginning J2EE developer but it helps to have the other O'Reilly java books.

My favorite chapters are the ones on sevlets and JSP. Not too sure about management API, but we don't use it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, January 21, 2003

By	"trich2357" (Brookyn, NY) - See all my reviews

... This is an outstanding book
that has plenty of gems in it. The chapter on servlets
alone is worth it, which is available for free on the book
web site. EJB and JSP chapters are also very good. But I'd
have liked to see more on XML and web services.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed.
The book is surprisingly thin and lacks necessary detail about J2EE patterns. I think the Expert One-on-one J2EE book is much better.
