Intended for experienced J2EE developers, this book documents bad practices in the form of antipatterns. Each antipattern summarizes background information on the technology, identifies the symptoms and consequences of the problem, and provides a code example. The second half of each chapter offers a solution to each problem that list the steps to take, depicts the process in a diagram, and applies the technique to sample code. Distribution, persistence, JSPs, servlets, entity beans, session EJBs, messaging, and web services are covered. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
