Core J2EE Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategies

This is the very popular design pattern book written specifically for J2EE development. It is surprisingly readable. Its separation of patterns into presentation, business, and integration tiers allows you to focus efficiently. Alot of it are ways to deal with the annoying parts of J2EE though, such as EJBs. So if you’re not using EJBs, you can skip some chapters. I did find quite a few typos and copy-paste errors in the example codes. A little disappointed in the editors as this creates confusion. I also found the last “advance” example not very useful, as it was too much code and not explained thoroughly. But all-in-all, this is a must-read, as it feels good to give a name to some constructs that you’ve used in the past.
