There is agreement in the Java community that EJBs often introduce more problems than they solve. Now there is a major trend toward lightweight technologies such as Hibernate, Spring, JDO, iBATIS, and others, all of which allow the developer to work directly with the simpler Plain Old Java Objects, or POJOs. Bowing to the new consensus, EJB 3 now also works with POJOs.
POJOs in Action describes these new, simpler, and faster ways to develop enterprise Java applications. It shows you how to go about making key design decisions, including how to organize and encapsulate the domain logic, access the database, manage transactions, and handle database concurrency.
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
