Enterprise JavaBeans 3 0 5th Edition
As many Java developers and IS managers already know, Sun’s powerful Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) technology offers an attractive option for developing server-side components. A suitable read for both managers and Java programmers, Enterprise JavaBeans provides a surprisingly clear and engaging introduction to designing and programming with EJBs.
The tour of the EJB component model presented here centers on several beans created and tested for a travel reservation system in a fictitious cruise ship company. The samples are just right in scale, large enough to test out key concepts in design and deployment, but small enough to be comprehensible, even to those who are not Java experts. The author pays close attention to the real-world issues of deployment with EJBs (as well as the differences among the vendor application servers that run them).
While there are enough details in Java syntax for designing both entity and session beans for the developer, sections on design here will please those who manage projects without delving much into code. Later, the author shows various ways to design entity and session beans. (For instance, entity beans can allow their bean containers to handle the details of connecting to a database, or they can do it themselves. This book demonstrates both approaches.) When it comes to session beans (which "wire" together entity beans to do real work), the author’s introduction to managing state and transactions is also a standout. Tips for performance and reusability close out the book.
In all, Enterprise JavaBeans provides an engaging tour of one of the most promising component technologies. It’s technically astute, but thoroughly approachable too, and can serve the needs of any manager or Java developer considering EJBs for future projects. –Richard Dragan

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great EJB3 Book! You will be greatly pleased with your purchase.
This is a great introduction to EJBs in general, and now EJB3. (the JSR 220 standard) Just like EJBs are now easier to develop with version 3, so is it easy to read and study this book. I hold O’Reilly in a high regard, (doesn’t mean I’m a fan boy though, they do have their share of bad apples) and their high standards show in the quality of writing in this book. You will be happy with your purchase.
5 Stars Excellent book on EJB 3.0 and JPA 1.0, even for a beginner
I found this book very helpful getting me up to date with the latest version of EJB. I had used EJB 2.1 before, but this book is good even for complete beginners. The first couple hundred pages are about the new Java Persistence Architecture. The last couple hundred pages are on using EJB 3.0 in JBoss AS. The middle of the book covers the rest of EJB 3.0. I still reference this book from time to time when working with JPA and complex relationships. I highly recommend this book.
2 Stars Good but outdated
To be brief, this is a great book, but you will almost certainly want the newest edition of it.
3 Stars Is Good but Quality down in the code
I recommend this book. The book cover almost topics in EJB 3.0 and you can depend it for preparing the SCBCD 5. The author explain and describe the topics in easy way.
The problem of this book have more error in code I escalation it for author. cause the book have his name not auditor name.
I will give this book three stars for losing the quality.
4 Stars Great Introduction
I have been building J2EE based applications for about five years now and this book has given me exactly what I needed to move to the new version of the specification. I’m using it as a study guide for the Sun Certified Business Component Developer certification exam.
Fun to read with great working examples included with the Jboss Workbook at the end.
