Synopsis
Increasingly, Java developers are recognizing the value of patterns in helping to build more robust, effective software systems -- but most books on patterns are either generic or focused on other languages. Now, the creators of Sun's own course on Java patterns have written the definitive book for working developers. Replete with working code, this book offers practical help with all types of patterns, in every facet of development -- from individual classes to overall system architecture. First, the authors introduce the fundamentals of patterns, presenting a high-level overview of how they can be used most effectively in Java development, and introducing each key type of pattern: creational, behavioral, and structural. Next, they present specific techniques for using patterns with core Java APIs (including security, event, JavaBeans, and Swing APIs); and in advanced distributed development with JDBC, RMI, CORBA, JNDI, and JavaSpaces. The book concludes with detailed coverage of pattern use in enterprise systems built with servlets, JSP, and other J2EE infrastructure technologies.

Review
Applied Java Patterns shows how Java programmers can benefit from design patterns. The idea is to identify designs that solve common software-development problems. It is an important and powerful technique, especially since the 1995 publication of Design Patterns, Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by a group of authors known affectionately as the "Gang of Four". That book uses C++ for its examples, whereas this one uses Java throughout. No previous knowledge of design patterns is assumed, but readers should be familiar with Java.
The first half of the book explains 32 of the most important patterns, showing how to implement them in Java and using the example of a Personal Information Manager application for many of the illustrations. Each pattern is described with notes showing when to apply it, a list of benefits and drawbacks and comments on variations and other related patterns. This accounts for around half of the book. Next comes a short but fascinating section showing how design patterns were applied in the Java APIs themselves, including JavaBeans, AWT, Swing, JDBC and Enterprise Java technologies such as Servlets and JSP. Finally, an appendix presents complete annotated example code for each pattern.
This is a clear and practical book, ideal for Java developers who are new to design patterns, or others who want to explore how to apply patterns in their work.--Tim Anderson
From the Back Cover
A hands-on guide to design patterns for Java platform developers.
- Pattern-based solutions for every stage of the development lifecycle
- Documents 30 patterns, including the 23 core patterns for the Sun Certified Enterprise Architect exam
- Describes pattern use within the Java APIs―including patterns for reflection, security, AWT/Swing, RMI, JDBC, J2EE, and more
Increasingly, developers are recognizing the value of design patterns in helping to create more robust, scalable, reliable, and maintainable applications. Now there's a book that can help you bring the power of patterns to your Java-based projects.
Sun Microsystems experts Steve Stelting and Olav Maassen bring together today's best pattern-based techniques and demonstrate pattern use for a variety of business systems. This practical guide features proven techniques for all types of patterns, from system architecture to single classes
After briefly reviewing the fundamentals of design patterns, the authors describe how these patterns can be applied effectively to the Java platform. Next, they provide a pattern catalog, organized into four major categories―the creational, behavioral, structural, and system patterns. In addition, they identify patterns and present techniques for pattern use in the core Java APIs as well as the APIs for distributed development.
APIs covered include:
- Event handling
- Collection API
- JDBC
- RMI
- CORBA
Applied Java Patterns also features a section on pattern use in systems built with J2EE and JINI technologies, and coverage of the servlet, JSP, EJB, and JavaSpaces APIs.
Without a doubt, this accessible and up-to-date guide can help you enhance your Java platform programming skills.
