Review of : MassimilianoDessi

The author explains how to develop the access layer, with the Plain Old Java Object.
He begins analyzing "the procedural" approach of the EJB in the applications
and their problems in the real use, compares to Object Oriented approach of the POJO based development.
They come analyzes commons scenarios, and proposed architectural choices
using Hibernate, JDO and iBATIS.
An application for the restaurant comes used like example,
using the TDD.
The author explains very well like using two ORM like Hibernate and
JDO 2.0.
It explains where he is preferibile to render
persistent using the Exposed Doman Model and the Transaction Script pattern with iBATIS.
It explains the use of EJB 3, but with
limitations, with POJO.
In last part of the book, it comes explained like realizing of the dynamic paginations with iBatis,
Hibernate and the JDO, like managing the concurrent transactions (using AOP), like using
the offline locking patterns, always with iBATIS,
Hibernate and the JDO, and Spring.
The book is written very well, why it explains always the objective to catch up
and the architectural choices that go made in order to catch up it.
