Chapter 2, EJB Best Practices | Chapter 10, JavaMail Best Practices

The JDC is pleased to present two chapters from Java Enterprise Best Practices by The O'Reilly Java Authors, published by O'Reilly & Associates, Incorporated

About the Book

Java Enterprise Best Practices focuses on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) APIs. The J2EE APIs include acronyms as EJB, JDBC, RMI, XML, and JMX. Java developers typically go through four "stages" in mastering Java. In the first stage, they learn the language itself. In the second stage, they study the APIs. In the third stage, they become proficient in the environment. It is in the fourth stage --"the expert stage"-- where things really get interesting, and Java Enterprise Best Practices is the tangible compendium of experience that developers need to breeze through this fourth and final stage of Enterprise Java mastery.

About the Chapters

In chapter 2, "EJB Best Practices", introduces conventions and techniques that enable a programmer to write solid Java 2 Enterprise Edition applications.

In chapter 10, "JavaMail Best Practices", introduces strategies for using JavaMail to effectively interact with end users.
