A suitable read for both managers and Java programmers, <I>Enterprise JavaBeans</I> provides a surprisingly clear and engaging introduction to designing and programming with EJBs. <p> 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). <p> 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.<p> In all, <I>Enterprise JavaBeans</I> 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. <I>--Richard Dragan</I><p> <B>Topics covered</B>: Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) basics, distributed architectures, Component Transaction Monitors (CTMs), bean-containers, home and remote bean interfaces, resource management, configuring EJB servers, entity beans, JNDI, container-managed and bean-managed persistence, session beans, stateless and stateful beans, transactions, design and performance hints. 1409883 15 10 2001 Enterprise JavaBeans (3rd Edition) total:2|3:1|2:1| 2 5 7 0 1419489 0596002262 9780596002268 2 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183444811m/1419489.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1419489.Enterprise_JavaBeans 0 0 false Mon Jun 08 05:51:12 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 05:51:12 -0700 2009 1419489 0596002262 9780596002268 2 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183444811m/1419489.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1419489.Enterprise_JavaBeans 0 0 false Wed Nov 12 19:37:19 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 19:37:19 -0800 2008 1419489 0596002262 9780596002268 2 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183444811m/1419489.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1419489.Enterprise_JavaBeans 2 0 false Thu Jul 17 10:59:19 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 10:59:27 -0700 2008 1419489 0596002262 9780596002268 2 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183444811m/1419489.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1419489.Enterprise_JavaBeans 0 0 false Sat Jul 12 09:07:56 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 09:07:56 -0700 2008 1419489 0596002262 9780596002268 2 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183444811m/1419489.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1419489.Enterprise_JavaBeans 0 0 false Wed Nov 28 15:42:44 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 28 15:42:44 -0800 2007 1419489 0596002262 9780596002268 2 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183444811m/1419489.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1419489.Enterprise_JavaBeans 0 0 false Fri Oct 19 23:21:51 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 19 23:21:51 -0700 2007 1419489 0596002262 9780596002268 2 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183444811m/1419489.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1419489.Enterprise_JavaBeans 3 0 false Mon Jul 02 23:40:16 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 02 23:40:16 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1419489
