RESTful Java Patterns and Best Practices” written by ’Bhakti Mehta' has been recently published. One of the great thing about this book is that it is not a theoretical book covering the JAX-RS API 2.0. As its title suggest, this book is talking about different best practices that are relevant when it comes to build efficient, scalable and secure RESTful services. So the focus of the book is really on REST best practices. It then shows how you can apply the practices and patterns using the JAX-RS 2.0 APIs.

Some of the covered practices discussed are:

  • How to design and expose your resources
  • Error handling 
  • API versioning
  • Testting
  • Security
  • Caching
  • Asynchronous behaviours, etc.

Another aspect I particularly like about this book is that it also covers features that are not yet part of the standard. It should be mentioned that some of those features (e.g. SSE, JSON-Pointers, ...) will high likely be introduced in Java EE 8. So the book give some useful background material to understand why it would make sense to add those capabilities to the platform.

Finally, the book is really trying to not overload you with too many details, with too much information. For each of the discussed topic, a technical solution is presented and explained. Pointers to additional ressources are then also suggested in case you need to dig into a specific topic in more details.

All in all, this book is a nice reading for anybody designing RESTful based applications... and who isn't?

To celebrate this, Packt Publishing will raffle 10 copies of  “RESTful Java Patterns and Best Practices” (5 eBook copies and 5 paper copies).
