What does this book cover?
The book begins by examining the limits of EJB technology what it does well and not so well. Then the authors guide you through alternatives to EJB that you can use to create higher quality applications faster and at lower cost both agile methods as well as new classes of tools that have evolved over the past few years.
They then dive into the details, showing solutions based on the lightweight framework they pioneered on SourceForge one of the most innovative open source communities. They demonstrate how to leverage practical techniques and tools, including the popular open source Spring Framework and Hibernate. This book also guides you through productive solutions to core problems, such as transaction management, persistence, remoting, and Web tier design. You will examine how these alternatives affect testing, performance, and scalability, and discover how lightweight architectures can slash time and effort on many projects.
