Business Transactions on ACID: In his java.net weblog entry "A Client Side Container for J2EE", Maciej Zawadzki takes a first stab at arguing for a client side container. He argues that in " multi-tier enterprise level applications, whenever we can get rid of state that is a good thing.

AntiPatterns - from problems to bad solutions:
