J2EE Highlights

by Rod Johnson
March 6, 2005

Touting J2EE, Johnson said, "project success is now much more likely, much more predictable. J2EE is well-placed to take on Microsoft and .Net." Years before, Johnson said he considered .Net much more of a threat.

In addition, Johnson listed several technologies for developers to watch, including
the Inversion of Control and dependency injection design patterns;
unit testing and TDD (test-driven development);
O/R (object/relational) mapping;
post struts 1.x Web technologies such as JavaServer Faces, Spring Model-View-Controller and Tapestry,
and value-add Web technologies such as Apache Beehive; and the rich client space.

Johnson also told developers to hone their skills that bring leverage, such as frameworks and methodologies, and to "look beyond Java" and work on communications skills and business skills.
