Item 1: Prefer components as the key element of development, deployment, and reuseItem 2: Prefer loose coupling across component boundariesItem 3: Differentiate layers from tiersItem 4: Keep data and processors close togetherItem 5: Remember that identity breeds contentionItem 6: Use hook points to inject optimizations, customizations, or new functionalityItem 7: Be robust in the face of failureItem 8: Define your performance and scalability goalsItem 9: Restrict EJB to transactional processingItem 10: Never optimize without profiling firstItem 11: Recognize the cost of vendor neutralityItem 12: Build in monitoring supportItem 13: Build in administration supportItem 14: Make deployment as simple as possible
3. Communication
Item 15: Understand all your communications optionsItem 16: Consider your lookup carefullyItem 17: Recognize the cost of network accessItem 18: Prefer context-complete communication stylesItem 19: Prefer data-driven communication over behavior-driven communicationItem 20: Avoid waiting for remote service requests to respondItem 21: Consider partitioning components to avoid excessive load on any one machineItem 22: Consider using Web Services for open integrationItem 23: Pass data in bulkItem 24: Consider rolling your own communication proxies
4. Processing
Item 25: Keep it simpleItem 26: Prefer rules engines for complex state evaluation and executionItem 27: Prefer transactional processing for implicitly nonatomic failure scenariosItem 28: Differentiate user transactions from system transactionsItem 29: Minimize lock windowsItem 30: Never cede control outside your component while holding locksItem 31: Understand EJB transactional affinityItem 32: Prefer local transactions to distributed onesItem 33: Consider using optimistic concurrency for better scalabilityItem 34: Consider using pessimistic concurrency for explicit concurrency controlItem 35: Consider lower isolation levels for better transactional throughputItem 36: Use savepoints to keep partial work in the face of rollbackItem 37: Replicate resources when possible to avoid lock regionsItem 38: Favor the immutable, for it needs no locks
5. State Management
Item 39: Use HttpSession sparinglyItem 40: Use objects-first persistence to preserve your domain modelItem 41: Use relational-first persistence to expose the power of the relational modelItem 42: Use procedural-first persistence to create an encapsulation layerItem 43: Recognize the object-hierarchical impedance mismatchItem 44: Use in-process or local storage to avoid the networkItem 45: Never assume you own the data or the databaseItem 46: Lazy-load infrequently used dataItem 47: Eager-load frequently used dataItem 48: Batch SQL work to avoid round-tripsItem 49: Know your JDBC providerItem 50: Tune your SQL

Chapter 5. State Management

	To those searching for the truth—not the truth of dogma and darkness but the truth brought by reason, search, examination, and inquiry, discipline is required. For faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction—faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.
	--Thomas Edison

A large part of the work of an enterprise system involves handling data. In fact, arguably, that's the only thing an enterprise system really does.

Although this was never really apparent during the era of the two-tier client/server system, the enterprise programmer needs to take care of two kinds of state: transient state, which is not yet a formal part of the enterprise data footprint, and durable state, which needs to ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
