Bug Patterns in Java presents a methodology for diagnosing and debugging computer programs. The act of debugging will be presented as an ideal application of the scientific method. Skill in this area is entirely independent of other programming skills, such as designing for extensibility and reuse. Nevertheless, it is seldom taught explicitly. Eric Allen lays out a theory of debugging, and how it relates to the rest of the development cycle. In particular, he stresses the critical role of unit testing in effective debugging. At the same time, he argues that testing and debugging, while often conflated, are properly considered to be distinct tasks. Upon laying this groundwork, Allen then discusses various "bug patterns" (recurring relationships between signaled errors and underlying bugs in a program) that occur frequently in computer programs. For each pattern, the book discusses how to identify them, how to treat them, and how to prevent them.

This book is about patterns for the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE). The J2EE patterns documented in this edition provide solutions for problems typically encountered by designers of software applications for the J2EE platform. All the patterns documented in the catalog have been discovered in the field, where they have been used to create successful J2EE applications for our customers. This book describes proven solutions for the J2EE platform with a particular emphasis on such key J2EE technologies as: JavaServer Pages (JSP), servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components, Java Message Service (JMS), JDBC, and Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). We offer solutions for recurring problems for the J2EE platform through the J2EE Pattern Catalog and J2EE refactorings. You can apply these ideas when developing new systems or when improving the design of existing systems. The patterns in this book will help you quickly gain the proficiency and skills to build robust, efficient enterprise applications.

This book is an introduction to computer programming using the Java programming language. No prior knowledge of computers or programming is assumed, but the reader must be confident with high school algebra. This book does not claim to completely cover either the Java language or its standard libraries. We have confined the use of the static keyword to testing classes and enumeration classes, to help students avoid non-object-oriented programming, and we have omitted coverage of Java’s features for reflection, packages, multithreading, networking, applets, and graphical user interfaces. Instead, our emphasis is placed on writing programs of high quality using the best techniques, with extensive coverage of design, collection classes, code cliches, verification, testing, general software engineering, scalability, ethics, and recursion (including an application to recursive descent parsing). This book is divided into two parts. At the University of Sydney, each part serves as the text for one semester. We have delayed introducing inheritance to second semester, not because we think it cannot be mastered earlier, but because novice programmers have a lot to learn, and since inheritance can be deferred, we think it should be.
