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

Chapter 8. System

	For the myth is the foundation of life; it is the timeless schema, the pious formula into which life flows when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.
	--Thomas Mann

The Java platform—the Java Virtual Machine plus the libraries—contains a tremendous amount of functionality that J2EE relies on as part of its implementation. For example, the hot deployment capability of servlet engines and EJB containers is due entirely to the ClassLoader architecture of the underlying JVM; without it, bouncing the server would be a necessity to load new versions of the code. Java Object Serialization is used implicitly in a number of places throughout the JDK and so becomes a cornerstone of J2EE. And, of course, in order to allow the ...

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.
