From the Back Cover
"Floyd Marinescu has done a great job of documenting and organizing a cornucopia of EJB design strategies into one concise and balanced book. I recommend this book to all EJB developers."
–Richard Monson-Haefel, author of Enterprise JavaBeans, Third Edition (O’Reilly 2001)

The job of the EJB developer is constantly challenging, making the task of designing maintainable and scalable systems difficult without a clear set of best practices to follow. It is with this in mind that Floyd Marinescu worked with thousands of J2EE professionals at TheServerSide.com J2EE community to build a library of design patterns, strategies, and best practices for EJB design and development.

EJB Design Patterns goes beyond high-level design patterns into critical EJB-specific implementation issues, illustrated with source code. The book contains a catalog of twenty advanced EJB patterns; it also provides strategies for applying the patterns, best practices for J2EE development, and useful EJB tips and techniques.

Marinescu also explores:

• Architectural, transaction, concurrency, client-side, and primary key generation patterns
• Build-system best practices using Ant
• JUnit testing strategies
• How to use Java Data Objects (JDO) with EJB as an alternative to entity beans
