Manning Releases POJOs in Action
Developing Enterprise Applications with Lightweight Frameworks
Greenwich, CT — January 16, 2006 - In the Java development community, using EJB 2 as the standard platform for enterprise application development has become unpopular because it sometimes causes more problems that it solves. This has given rise to lightweight technologies such as Hibernate, Spring, JDO, iBATIS and others, all of which allow developers to work directly with the simpler POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects). Bowing to the new consensus, upcoming EJB 3 now also works with POJOs.
Manning's new book, POJOs in Action, is the first on the market to show how to pick the right technologies and productively develop applications with lightweight frameworks and EJB 3. It is a new-generation Java applications guide that teaches the new, easier ways to develop enterprise Java applications.
POJOs in Action shows how to make key design decisions, including how to organize and encapsulate domain logic, access the database, manage transactions, and handle database concurrency. Avoiding EJB bashing, POJOs in Action teaches developers and designers to build lightweight applications that are easier to build, test, and maintain. The book is uniquely practical with design alternatives illustrated through numerous code examples.
