Book Reviews
"“Chris Richardson's book is a well-written and thorough guide to implementing
familiar Enterprise Architecture patterns with POJOs. Aimed at the designer,
the book provides valuable advice on the benefits and potential pitfalls of using
Spring, Hibernate, JDO and iBATIS to implement scalable, performant systems.
Highly recommended.”
-- The Pragmatic Architect
"So although individual technologies and frameworks may fall in and out of favor with programmers in the next five years, the design possibilities that POJOs and their implied simplicity bring to programming will not. And that alone may be one of the best reasons to add this book to your bookshelf, no matter which road you take in your enterprise Java programming."
-- Sun.com
"A solid, valuable and easy-to-read work"
-- JavaRanch

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.
Written for developers and designers, this is a new-generation Java applications guide. It helps you build lightweight applications that are easier to build, test, and maintain. The book is uniquely practical with design alternatives illustrated through numerous code examples.
