false 352144 3 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, <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. 342372 1999 Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 (5th Edition) total:10|5:2|4:2|3:5|2:1| 10 35 20 0 0 0 false false Mon Oct 05 10:09:02 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 10:09:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 15 15:03:07 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 15:03:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 09:18:13 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 09:18:13 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Dec 08 05:39:50 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 05:39:50 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Nov 08 01:59:06 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 08 01:59:06 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sun Oct 12 14:10:28 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 12 14:10:28 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Sep 26 14:45:23 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 14:45:23 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Aug 05 11:06:24 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 11:06:24 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jul 18 03:54:51 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 03:54:56 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Thu Jul 17 10:53:02 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 10:53:16 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 12 09:05:41 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 09:05:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jul 10 07:50:58 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 07:50:58 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat May 31 21:05:04 -0700 2008 Sat May 31 21:05:04 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jan 10 17:49:47 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 17:49:52 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Dec 25 07:53:33 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 25 07:53:33 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Tue Oct 16 17:26:55 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 17:26:55 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sun Aug 26 19:54:32 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 26 19:54:32 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Thu Aug 02 08:35:22 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 02 08:35:22 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 19:54:43 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 01 19:55:48 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Mon May 14 20:59:20 -0700 2007 Mon May 14 20:59:20 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=352144
