Samenvatting

Learn to accelerate J2EE development, from design through testing and beyond.

Covers agile development, model-driven architecture, code generation, aspect-oriented programming, test-driven development, and much more.
An essential resource for every J2EE developer, project leader, and manager.

J2EE is today's premier platform for enterprise-level development, but it's difficult to deliver J2EE solutions as quickly as today's businesses need them. This book presents a complete, practical foundation for rapid development throughout your entire project lifecycle. Its best-practice techniques and tools don't just accelerate development they help you adapt smoothly to increasing complexity and non-stop change. You'll learn how to make the most of iterative development, model-driven architecture (MDA), code-generation tools, aspect-oriented programming (AOP), test-driven development, and much more.

Coverage includes:
- Defining end-to-end J2EE development strategies that promote speed without compromising quality
- Understanding how your design-time decisions impact overall project schedules
- Building agile application architectures that promote rapid development
- Using UML modeling to streamline system design and validation
- Speeding database development with code generation and object-relational mapping
- Practical test-driven development: constructing automated unit test suites and using mock objects to "test from the inside out"
- Leveraging the full value of Eclipse and other IDEs

If you're a J2EE developer, project leader, or manager, you're under constant pressure to deliver quality applications more rapidly. Rapid J2EE Development gives you all the skills and resources you need to respond.
