Expert One-On-One J2Ee Design and Development

Rod Johnson is one of the few technical authors with whom I can almost never disagree. A quick read indicates clearly that his technical insight, which ranges from architectural to low-level coding best practices, are not born of some academic exercise...they are the fruit of actual production J2EE experience...not an academic blueprint. At times, I felt like I was reading my own words. Over the years, I began to wonder if I was the only J2EE developer who was not "drinking all the kool aid." My experience with over a dozen high-volume production applications moved me away from the pure party line. Now, I realize that my religion has a leader. Don't get me wrong, I learned a significant amount from this book. Rod's experience is daunting and even an experienced J2EE developer will glean countless insights from this well-written text.So what's not to like? Well, frankly, I was disappointed that security got the same level as attention in this book as it does in most - especially since there has yet to be an excellent J2EE text produced on the topic. While I didn't expect Rod to write the definitive tome on authentication and authorization, I expected more than two pages with a collection of URLs for more info. In fact, I loved the fact that he led off the text with testing and was shocked that he didn't follow immediately with security - another system aspect that is frequently relegated to the margins...and often implemented poorly. So how does that influence my review? Well, on Amazon's five star scale, I am taking away one star....but I also started by awarding him ten stars for the rest of the text.final static int MAX_RATING = 5;final int rating = Math.min(MAX_RATING, (10-1));if (rating == 5) {you.buyNow();}Rock on Rod. Can't wait for the "Developing without EJBs" text.

very very good book! thank you!!!

Excellent book to help you choose the right technology for your project.Covers several frameworks, patterns, and discusses alternatives for the presentation, web, and data tiers.Interesting ideas about the use (or overuse) of EJBs.

excellent!

good

This book is for all level developers who have interest on J2EE platform and development. In spite of the complicated technology, it can let readers digest the knowledge without difficulty. On the other hand, the main theme of author(J2EE without EJB) has become popular trends nowaday and the whole idea can be found in this book.

Its really very useful book for java/j2ee developers.Book contents are good and very descriptive and Rod Johnson efforts are really appreciate.

A must read for any architect

Good deal and delivery, everything was as agreed

It's .. okay.. I develop for a living going on 16 years now and I don't think I would apply most of these principles. There was a time not too long ago apparently, where every IT project was way too broad in scope and vainly attempted to manage such impossible complexity. That is just not how I work. The endless scenarios where corporations around the world dumped hundreds of millions into a monolithic J2EE solution meant to solve the world, only to watch the project tank horribly, is probably the main reason why I happily have not had to even hear the phrase J2EE in my job for going on probably 7 years now.

Looking like genuine and original printing with awesome page quality

Muy bueno para entender a fondo implementaciones Enterprise y el framework Spring. Aunque es bastante antiguo y sus ejemplos ya no son prácticos
