Excellent EJB 3.0 and excellent book!
0 from JBoss EJB 3. I began to learn EJB 3.0 tutorial and demo examples, and found that the EJB 3. 0 is really a amazing technology in Java evolution. After finishing half of the book, I feel much more confident on EJB3. 0. The book has more detailed explanations and examples comparing to the tutorial. If you want to learn and practice Java EE 5, the book should be the best start.

Does the job


Easy to read and contains comprehensive examples and excercises for JBOSS App Server. Good book.

Does not contain enough examples on creating EJB architectures, which is ok as that was not the intention of the book.

The one thing that threw me off every now and then is the book's coding conventions, like calling "Data Transfer Objects" "Dependent Objects", naming such objects with DO in the end instead of DTO, which is the way done in NetBeans 5. 0 IDE when creating EJBs.

Overall, it's a very good starters' book. Looking forward to the next book about EJB 3. 0.

the best book to start with J2EE that you can read over and over again
Since then I've worked on many project with many technologies involved and, of all the books I read, at the end I always came back to this one for more insight and details. This book in a previous release was my start in the world of J2EE.

One of my best buys ever and a must for anyone interested in real three-tier applications.
