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.
- 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
- Gaining the benefits of time-boxed development, prototyping, and other agile approaches
- Speeding database development with code generation and object-relational mapping
- Efficiently maintaining business logic with Jess and other rule engines
- Using AspectJ and the AspectWerkz AOP framework to apply application changes dynamically
- Solving problems with quick Jython scripts instead of complex J2EE code
- Using XDoclet to generate boilerplate EJB code artifacts
- Practical test-driven development: constructing automated unit test suites and using mock objects to "test from the insideout"
- Streamlining and improving the build process
- 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'll need to respond.
