Packt Publishing [1] recently invited me to review Mick Knutson [2]'s (@mickknutson [3]) book Java EE 6 Cookbook for Securing, Tuning, and Extending Enterprise Applications [4]. I intend to provide a comprehensive review in a later post after I've had a chance to read the book, but an idea of what the book covers can be found in its Table of Contents [5].
In roughly 320 pages, this book appears to cover a wide gamut of topics and tools. It appears to cover several Java EE specifications with focus on what's new to Java EE 6 [6] (such as EJB 3.1 [7], JPA 2.0 [8], Servlet 3.0 [9], and JAX-RS 1.1 [10]). It also appears to cover numerous tools and non-Java languages. For example, it appears to cover use of Groovy [11], Scala [12], Jython [13], JMX [14], VisualVM [15], and several other (including commercial) tools and products.
I'm looking forward to reading Java EE 6 Cookbook for Securing, Tuning, and Extending Enterprise Applications and providing my thoughts and observations about the book in a future post.
