Over nearly the entire last decade, much has been written about Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) best practices. There are now dozens of books and hundreds (perhaps more) of articles that provide insight into how Java EE applications should be written.

Therefore, to provide some simple guidance for customers entering this world, we have compiled this best-of-the-best list of what we feel are the most important and significant best practices for Java EE. Despite our earnest attempts, however, we weren’t able to capture everything that needed to be said in a neat top-ten list.
