Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1: Developing Enterprise Java Components 6th Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Learn how to code, package, deploy, and test functional Enterprise JavaBeans with the latest edition of this bestselling guide. Written by the developers of JBoss EJB 3.1, this book not only brings you up to speed on each component type and container service in this implementation, it also provides a workbook with several hands-on examples to help you gain immediate experience with these components.
With version 3.1, EJB's server-side component model for building distributed business applications is simpler than ever. But it's still a complex technology that requires study and lots of practice to master. Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 is the most complete reference on this specification. You'll find a straightforward, no-nonsense explanation of the underlying technology, including Java classes and interfaces, the component model, and the runtime behavior of EJB.
- Develop your first EJBs with a hands-on walkthrough of EJB 3.1 concepts
- Learn how to encapsulate business logic with Session Beans and Message-Driven Beans
- Discover how to handle persistence through Entity Beans, the EntityManager, and the Java Persistence API
- Understand EJB's container services such as dependency injection, concurrency, and interceptors
- Integrate EJB with other technologies in the Java Enterprise Edition platform
- Use examples with either the JBossAS, OpenEJB, or GlassFish v3 EJB Containers

- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2014This book covers in deep the J2EE features, not only EJB, but persistence API, Webservices and other aspects like security.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2014Well all I can say book is good and has all you need to get started with Java EE dev ocean, enjoy it guys :)
- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2011This is a good book to learn EJB 3.1. Relevant code is highlighted to make it easy for you to spot.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2011Here is why i did not like this book:
* Code snippets alongside text (in many examples) do not exhibit the concept under discussion completely. This alone was a show-stopper for me. I (and i assume others) do not want to go through a 500 line example (in appendix or companion code) to understand a concept
* Coverage on session beans could have been more exhaustive
* Coverage on message driven beans is awesomely bad
* Coverage of "Queries, Criteria, JPA QL" does not cover Criteria API. Or wait a second, maybe it does cover it but without specifying the word "Criteria API" in the text, ever!
* Mistakes in code/xml at many places, looks like released in haste before a stringent review was done (I know that errata is there, but should ...)
* The text is not structured in an intuitive way. "A summary of topics to come at start and then going deep in each topic" is not followed. At times, one has to read through the full chapter to make out the possible ways of doing something by himself/herself
* Written by different authors clearly evident by their different writing style. Publisher should have facilitated (if not enforced) some uniformity to the content style
* Could have been under 450 page book. Putting all the code in appendix doesn't provide much value when the companion code is available, just makes the book more bulky (and costly?)
I will not recommend this book to anybody. It is saddening to see an O'Reilly book of this standard.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2011The writer for 6th edition didn't know how to use computer when first edition went out.
He was given the task to update 5th edition with EJB 3.1.
The book is very poorly written, with extremely ugly and inconsistent code examples.
Not recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2014Exactly what I wanted.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2011A very clear and thorough book covering everything you need to no about writing modern Java Web applications with EJB 3.1
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2012I think this is not a good book, seems like the author added a lot of code inside the book at the end, perhaps it is not a good idea to include all the code in the book, it is enough to include the link and then the reader can download the code.
I was expecting more content, actually I wanted to used that book to get a EJB certification and now I know that it was not a good book.
thank you

5.0 out of 5 stars Best introduction on the subject
At the time of writing this review, this is up to date and by far the best introduction on the subject that I have read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book for introduction but lacking in-depth
I bought this book because I needed to get up to speed with EJB and it gives a introduction to all the subjects surrounding EJB and it fulfilled this.
But the down side is that half of the book is dedicated to example code. This is in my opinion a waste of pages which could have been used to give better textual examples of when to use which annotations for instance or how to bet utilize the API or focus on some of the differences in the different implementations.
And an entire subject is missing (the criteria api) though it is mentioned in the list of content.
- KeithReviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2013
3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but not enough information on migrating from EJB2 - and far too many paper listings
This is a decent book as far as it goes, but as other reviewers have commented, it's a complete waste of hundreds of pages to include full code listings in the appendices rather than on a companion web site. I also found there wasn't really much information on moving from EJB2.x, which is a shame as I'm sure it's a fairly common use case.
