Orientation for the real world

One can agree with the English saying: This book should every Java EE architect who stand in his bookcase. The book is not only a documentation that lists the new Java EE Features and Patterns for Java EE, but it is a guide for daily work. Many references are used in practice (use cases, testing patterns, documentation, code examples, ...) to help the reader quickly with the content of your own experience together.

Adam Bien is in some places requires knowledge of the Core J2EE Patterns of D. Alur, Crupi J. and D. Malks. These are critically reviewed and updated. Many of the J2EE Patterns are cleverly into retirement. It is an ideal complement when you have been preparing for example, SCEA and already dealt intensively with the Core J2EE Patterns.

But there are not only the traditional J2EE Patterns revised and shown how they can be replaced by simpler mechanisms, but there are also new patterns introduced, arising out of new Java EE APIs.

The information density per page is high. Nevertheless, Adam Bien writes far less abstract than the authors of the Core J2EE Patterns.
