Enterprise Java Servlets
By Eugene E. Kim
Words like enterprise and business in the titles of software development books always make me shudder. Those terms are so broad and ambiguous, I never know what to expect. All too often, I'm in for pages of meaningless buzzwords along with the occasional trivial code excerpt.
Every once in a while, however, I'm pleasantly surprised. Reading Jeff M. Genender's Enterprise Java Servlets was one of those occasions. The book covers some fairly common ground—scalability and security in Web applications, for example—but it does so in a unique and highly effective way.
Architecture and Reuse
Genender focuses on designing and architecture for supporting enterprise requirements while maximizing code reuse. His approach is to develop a base enterprise servlet from which all servlets extend. All of the common features are implemented in the base servlet, and are consequently inherited by the custom servlets.

The benefits are clear. For example, once you have connection pooling programmed into the base servlet, you don't have to write connection pooling code in any of your other servlets.
