Real World Java EE 6 Patterns--Rethinking Best Practices Reloaded 📎
A completely rewritten, second, iteration of the Real World Java EE Patterns--Rethinking Best Practices book is available.
Although I tried to prune as much content as possible, the book has now 431 pages--171 pages more than the first iteration. The reason for the extensive size growth is the discussion of several new Java EE 6 patterns and utilities like: Plugins, HTTP Events, Re-Injector, Custom Scope, Parallelizer (…).
The "Rethinking" book also comes with a transactional JCA 1.6 connector implementation--a simplistic key-value store. Most of the patterns are a "clean room" extraction from things that worked well in my daily consulting work. Some patterns are directly extracted from my open source projects like: http://lightfish.adam-bien.com or http://x-ray.adam-bien.com.

Feedback is, as always, highly appreciated. But: I spent several days in word processor formatting the final version of the book, so all negative comments about formatting are going to be marked as spam :-).
