 The surprisingly successful book Real World Java EE Patterns–Rethinking Best Practices discusses the rethinking of legacy J2EE patterns. Now, Real World Java EE Night Hacks–Dissecting the Business Tier walks you through the Java EE 6 best practices and patterns used to create a real world application called “x-ray.” X-ray is a high-performance blog statistics application built with nothing but vanilla Java EE 6 leveraging the synergies between the JAX-RS, EJB 3.1, JPA 2, and CDI 1.0 APIs. Topics covered include:

 A brief introduction into the core principles of Java EE 6 (EJB 3.1, CDI, JPA, JTA,Dependency Injection, Convention over Configuration, interceptors, transactions, REST) using real world code
Unit and integration testing of Java EE 6 applications using JUnit and ScalaTest
Using interceptors for performance measuring and monitoring
Creating mocks with Mockito for EJB 3.1, CDI, JPA, and JAX-RS
Developing embedded integration tests with Arquillian
Productive use of JAX-RS, Contexts and Dependency Injection, EJB 3.1, and JPA
RESTful services and REST clients with Java EE 6
Convention over Configuration with Java EE 6
Effective component configuration with CDI and Convention over Configuration
Plug-in implementation with CDI
Transactional pub/sub without JMS based on CDI and EJB 3.1
Continuous integration with Maven 3, Mercurial/Git, and Hudson/Jenkins
Implementing configurable timers and asynchronous batch processing
Eventual consistency and high-performance deferred writes with Java EE 6
Real-time client and server monitoring with JMX and REST
Functional testing with FitNesse
Performing stress and load tests
Simplest possible, but maintainable, Java EE 6 design and architecture
Real World Java EE Night Hacks – Dissecting the Business Tier will benefit experienced developers and architects interested in code, not PowerPoint slides.
