A chapter on how to use Java Data Objects with EJB as a best practice

This isn't so much a book of Design Patterns as idioms and best practices. Much of the material is concerned with architectural principles and workarounds to bugs rather than describing patterns. The Rule Of Three isn't really adhered to, largely because it's hard to find examples of enterprise applications with available source code, which makes the entire book seem very theoretical. Fowler's Patterns Of Enterprise Application Architecture suffers from the same problem.
