IBM's Jalape±o Team introduces experienced Java programmers to building Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) applications, discussing containers, security, persistence and transaction management. They then show how to integrate EJB into existing client/server architectures, and technologies such as JNDI, servlets and JavaServer pages. The CD-ROM contains source code for the examples.
