This title provides advanced, in depth coverage of Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) applications. It presents the EJB architecture from the point of view of the person developing EJB applications.

If you're up on the latest Java technologies, then you know that Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 is the hottest news in Java this year. In fact, EJB 3.0 is being hailed as the new standard of server-side business logic programming. And O'Reilly's award-winning book on EJB has been refreshed just in time to capitalize on the technology's latest rise in popularity. This fifth edition, written by Bill Burke and Richard Monson-Haefel, has been updated to capture the very latest need-to-know Java technologies in the same award-winning fashion that drove the success of the previous four strong-selling editions. Bill Burke, Chief Architect at JBoss, Inc., represents the company on the EJB 3.0 and Java EE 5 specification committees. Richard Monson-Haefel is one of the world's leading experts on Enterprise Java. Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, 5th Edition is organized into two parts: the technical manuscript followed by the JBoss workbook. The technical manuscript explains what EJB is, how it works, and when to use it. The JBoss workbook provides step-by-step instructions for installing, configuring, and running the examples from the manuscript on the JBoss 4.0 Application Server. Although EJB makes application development much simpler, it's still a complex and ambitious technology that requires a great deal of time to study and master. But now, thanks to Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, 5th Edition, you can overcome the complexities of EJBs and learn from hundreds of practical examples that are largeenough to test key concepts but small enough to be taken apart and explained in the detail that you need. Now you can harness the complexity of EJB with just a single resource by your side.

Includes more than 30 percent revised material and five new chapters, covering the new 2.1 features such as EJB Timer Service and JMS as well as the latest open source Java solutions The book was developed as part of TheServerSide.com online EJB community, ensuring a built-in audience Demonstrates how to build an EJB system, program with EJB, adopt best practices, and harness advanced EJB concepts and techniques, including transactions, persistence, clustering, integration, and performance optimization Offers practical guidance on when not to use EJB and how to use simpler, less costly open source technologies in place of or in conjunction with EJB

This third edition explains the underlying technology, Java classes and interfaces, component model, and runtime behavior of Enterprise JavaBeans. In addition, the book contains an architecture overview, information on resource management and primary services, design strategies, and XML deployment descriptors.

Applied Enterprise JavaBeans Technologyshows how to leverage the full power of EJB 2.0 to build industrial-strength applications that are distributed, transactional, and secure. Exceptionally comprehensive and accurate, this book starts from first principles and progresses to the state-of-the-art, revealing normally hidden aspects of the EJB architecture that offer immense power to developers. It includes a full-scale case study, in-depth coverage of integration, and extensive cross-references to the official EJB 2.0 specifications.
