Book exceprts:

The job of the EJB developer is constantly challenging, making the task of designing maintainable and scalable systems difficult without a clear set of best practices to follow. With this in mind, Floyd Marinescu worked with thousands of J2EE professionals at TheServerSide.com J2EE community to build a library of design patterns, strategies, and best practices for EJB design and development.

EJB Design Patterns goes beyond high-level design patterns into critical EJB-specific implementation issues, illustrated with source code. The book contains a catalog of twenty advanced EJB patterns; it also provides strategies for applying the patterns, best practices for J2EE development, and useful EJB tips and techniques.
