Bitter EJB

by Bruce A. Tate, Mike Clark, Bob Lee

Addressing the storming controversy of EJB head-on, this guide discusses framework problems and common traps that can snare unwary developers. Advice is provided for choosing persistence strategies beyond EJB entity beans and a list of several entity bean antipatterns. Also offered are session bean and messaging antipatterns and a compelling discussion about how and when to use problematic stateful session beans. Solutions to difficult problems such as effective builds and performance tuning are furnished. Designed for EJB developers, architects, programmers, and project managers, this authoritative reference attacks basic Java programming problems to establish antipatterns as a serious field for Java developers in a well-known context.

I really liked this book's approach. It presents problems first (the "bitter" part) in a very concrete manner and then ways of dealing with those problems. It has a concise writing style. It isn't trying to push a development ideology as so many enterprise Java books do.
