(Ebook) POJOs in Action: Developing Enterprise Applications with Lightweight Frameworks by Chris Richardson ISBN 9781932394580, 1932394583

The standard platform for enterprise application development has been EJB but the difficulties of working with it caused it to become unpopular. They also gave rise to lightweight technologies such as Hibernate, Spring, JDO, iBATIS and others, all of which allow the developer to work directly with the simpler POJOs. Now EJB version 3 solves the problems that gave EJB 2 a black eye-it too works with POJOs. POJOs in Action describes the new, easier ways to develop enterprise Java applications. It describes how to make key design decisions when developing business logic using POJOs, including how to organize and encapsulate the business logic, access the database, manage transactions, and handle database concurrency. This book is a new-generation Java applications guide: it enables readers to successfully build lightweight applications that are easier to develop, test, and maintain.what's inside* Leverage the frameworks’ strengths, avoid their weaknesses* Apply enterprise patterns in the lightweight world* New patterns like POJO Façade and Exposed Domain Model* Build rich domain models* How Aspects improve design* Lightweight testing strategies* How to be agileabout the readerWritten for developers and designers, this is a new-generation Java applications guide.
