Yesterday I started research into the current state of affairs with regard to coding standards for J2EE development. We are looking for an up to date set of low level (detailed) standards for at least the following categories/technologies:
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- JSP & JSTL
- Struts
- XML, XSLT, XSL-FO
- Core Java Programming
- Oracle Business Components for Java (BC4J)
- Oracle Toplink
- JHeadstart
- JDeveloper
- Ant, JUnit
The first queries on Internet were not unsuccessful! Some of the more interesting search results are listed below
The following document seems to include guidelines on almost all technologies in the Java arena that are of interest to us: Technical Paper: Java – J2EE, Conventions and Guidelines Release 1.0.2 Stephan Janssen The JCS Team (2004)

I dont believe it. Where is the proof?
Check out the Enerjy Code Analyzer http://www.enerjy.com
A best practice audit tool with nearly 200 rules taken from sources mentioned above
A general introduction on conding conventions that I wrote for my students can be found here. It has gone through many iterations, so is supposed to contain useful information by now 😉
