I am pleased to announce that TheServerSide's book EJB Design Patterns is now available for free download in PDF format. EJB Design Patterns was the #2 book at Java One 2002, and held the #1 Java book position on Amazon.com for weeks since the book was released in March. Thank you members of TheServerSide, for all your help in creating this book.
EJB Design Patterns goes beyond high-level design pattern descriptions into critical EJB-specific implementation issues, illustrated with source code implementations. The book contains a catalog of twenty advanced EJB patterns and provides strategies for mapping application requirements to patterns-driven design, J2EE development best practices, and a collection of EJB tips and strategies, and other topics such as Build-System best practices using Ant, JUnit testing strategies, using Java Data Objects (JDO) as an alternative to entity beans, and more.

Cheers to you Floyd and TSS team ! I skimmed through a few chapters and couldn't agree more with comments from one of the industry experts - either read this book or learn through your experience over a period of two years. The organization of content and illustrations deserve good compliments. Some of the chapters in the second part are a must read for experts. Guess, I shall stay awake for the rest of the night reading the sections on pattern-driven design. -

As with all the other posters - a note of thanks to Floyd and TSS for being such a worthwhile part of the EJB community.
However the real point of my post is about the contents of the book. Floyd - I've seen many people rave about using the command pattern for Web-EJB tier communication, and was surprised that it wasn't in Chapter 4. I suppose what I'm asking is why it was omitted - not worthwhile, oversight, ???
thanks again

I agree.. .we've already bought two copies of the book, but the PDF is great for those trips when you don't want to have to lug around all of your books. I think its awesome that you guys put out the PDF for free - it shows that you have a lot of confidence in your material.
I especially enjoyed chapters 7, 8 & 9 (EJB Development Process, Entity Beans vs. JDO, and EJB Idioms and Tips).
Keep up the good work guys.

Excellent book and kudos for releasing the PDF.
I feel it was important and very well executed to have a dedicated chapter to the EJB Development process in a book on EJB Design Patterns, especially to setting up the build and testing environments. I have frequently found this to be a problem for newbies, that takes costly cycles off doing trial and error.
Chap 7 does an excellent job at laying out the groundwork for Ant and Junit test suites. This should save serious time off the "learning curve".

Right now there are no plans of updating it as the book is already on the cutting edge (EJB 2.0, etc), and EJB 2.1 is not introducing any paradigm-shifting new features.
My thoughts were that I might create a second edition once there were enough new patterns to warrant one.
What do you think?

Man, this book rocks. What I would like to see more of, is fuller examples of CMP2.0 relationships. This is not really a "pattern" so it may do better in the next version of theserverside's other book (we have that one already).
I *really* appreciate the sections on project management, the ant stuff, the junit stuff, etc. This, together with the extreme java tools book, make a good duo.
By themselves, patterns are a paradigm shift. I think this book definitely helps to help Java developers make the shift from programming patterns to implementing them in a realistic way. At least the ones who aren't already experts. ;-)

Floyd Marinescu,
I just want to say your book is fantastic! I just got it a few days ago from amazon and I am already 150 pages through the book! Since I haven't used j2ee really and I am just starting to, you essentially answered all my questions from the get-go. Now I can build systems the j2ee way from the start without having to refactor everything and learn from mistakes (though I still have some experience to gain of course). Your book will become a staple in EJB development for sure after the individual learns j2ee, your book is a great resource afterwards. Thanks so much for writing the book. I've co-authored 2 books myself, so I know that it's hard work. I just wanted to say that I appreciate your work and that it has and will help me greatly. Thanks so much. -

Implementation of Data Transfer RowSet[ Go to top ]
- Posted by: john guthrie
- Posted on: May 31 2002 13:44 EDT
- in response to Floyd Marinescu
I just finished reading the book yesterday and found it well-written and useful.
So today I found that the Data Transfer RowSet pattern (using the Sun implementation of CachedRowSet) is something that would solve what could be an ugly problem otherwise. I went to Sun's "JDBC RowSet" page (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/crs/), and for this first time (since this is for work) read the license agreement. Seems to me that these lines:
6.1 This Agreement will commence on the date on which Licensee receives Licensed Software (the "Effective Date") and will expire ninety (90) days from the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier as provided below.
imply that I cannot use this product for more than, er 90 days. I didn't see anything else precluding it's use, and I admit that I am crap at reading/interpreting license agreements, so I am wondering if I am wrong here.
I'm not trying to have a dig at you, but did you verify the licensing before you wrote about it? Maybe I am mis-interpreting the license (I hope)?
