Server Component Patterns

Description

A detailed exploration of the basic patterns underlying today's component infrastructures.

  
The latest addition to this best-selling series opens by providing an "Alexandrian-style" pattern language covering the patterns underlying EJB, COM+ and CCM. It addresses not only the underlying building blocks, but also how they interact and why they are used. The second part of the book provides more detail about how these building blocks are employed in EJB. In the final section the authors fully explore the benefits of building a system based on components.
  
* Examples demonstrate how the 3 main component infrastructures EJB, CCM and COM+ compare
  
* Provides a mix of principles and concrete examples with detailed UML diagrams and extensive source code
  
* Forewords supplied by industry leaders: Clemens Syzperski and Frank Buschmann

FEATURES:

After reading this book you will:

understand the principles and patterns of server-side component infrastructures
be able to design your own proprietary component infrastructures for specific projects
have learnt about the commonalities and differences between EJB, CCM and COM+
gain a comprehensive overview of EJB technology
see how server-side component infrastructures can be used to great benefit in a real application
The "comic" illustrations accompanying the patterns have been created by Stefan Schulz who, when not drawing, works as an independent technology consultant.
