Java – core J2EE Patterns and practices are still read related?
I have been using java for some time (about 12-18 months) and want to know whether the core J2EE book is still relevant and whether I should read it?
Solution
If you mean the book that fildor linked to, it was last updated in 2003, between Java EE 1.3 and 1.4 That was a long time ago; The current version of Java EE is very different from this There has always been a revolution in dependency injection framework. The pattern of web framework and rest library has matured to the extent that they rarely write their own controller servlet
If you are interested in using EE 5 or EE 6, I'm afraid this book is out of date On the other hand, if you are using legacy projects using EE 1.4, it may actually be useful!
The book's website has a convenient chart, including the patterns it covers (broken links):

The list has a very old - fashioned feel Data transfer object, service locator, mmm
