There is this book, but I cant tell you much about it because its still on my wishlist at the moment:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Enterprise-Application-Architecture-Addison-Wesley-signature/dp/0321127420/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255982310&sr=8-1
I dont know recall what it covers specifically....
The practice of enterprise application development has benefited
from the emergence of many new enabling technologies. Multi-tiered
object-oriented platforms, such as Java and .NET, have become
commonplace. These new tools and technologies are capable of building
powerful applications, but they are not easily implemented. Common
failures in enterprise applications often occur because their
developers do not understand the architectural lessons that experienced
object developers have learned.
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture
is written in direct response to the stiff challenges that face
enterprise application developers. The author, noted object-oriented
designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite changes in
technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to .NET--the same basic
design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems. With
the help of an expert group of contributors, Martin distills over forty
recurring solutions into patterns. The result is an indispensable
handbook of solutions that are applicable to any enterprise application
platform.
This book is actually two books in one. The first
section is a short tutorial on developing enterprise applications,
which you can read from start to finish to understand the scope of the
book's lessons. The next section, the bulk of the book, is a detailed
reference to the patterns themselves. Each pattern provides usage and
implementation information, as well as detailed code examples in Java
or C#. The entire book is also richly illustrated with UML diagrams to
further explain the concepts.
Armed with this book, you will
have the knowledge necessary to make important architectural decisions
about building an enterprise application and the proven patterns for
use when building them.
The topics covered include:
Dividing an enterprise application into layers
The major approaches to organizing business logic
An in-depth treatment of mapping between objects and relational databases
Using Model-View-Controller to organize a Web presentation
Handling concurrency for data that spans multiple transactions
Designing distributed object interfaces
