The J2EE Architect's Handbook

This handbook is a concise guide to architecting, designing and building J2EE applications. This handbook will guide the technical architect through the entire J2EE project including identifying business requirements, performing use-case analysis, object and data modeling, and guiding a development team during construction. Whether you are about to architect your first J2EE application or are looking for ways to keep your projects on-time and on-budget, you will refer to this handbook again and again.

You will discover how to:
-- Design J2EE applications so that they are robust, extensible, and easy to maintain.
-- Apply commonly used design patterns effectively
-- Identify and address application architectural issues before they hinder the development team
-- Document and communicate the application design so that the development team's work is targeted
-- Avoid common mistakes that derail project budgets and timelines.
-- Guide the development team through the design and construction process.
-- Setup effective procedures and guidelines that increase stability and decrease bug reports
-- Effectively estimate needed resources and timelines
