Description
In this authoritative book, Sun's Enterprise JavaBeans architect demonstrates how to leverage the full power of EJB to deploy component-based enterprise systems faster, and more effectively. Start by understanding EJB's architecture and its interrelationships with the rest of Sun Microsystems' rich Java 2 Enterprise Edition platform for large-scale business development. Compare each architectural option for implementing EJB in your applications, and understand when to use each; review each element of an Enterprise JavaBean; then master container tools and services, EJB roles, session beans, entity beans, transactions, security, and more. The book includes extensive sample code, full-fledged application examples, and a complete API reference. It will be an ideal resource for everyone implementing Enterprise JavaBeans applications: in-house corporate developers, third-party developers creating EJB applications and reusable components; Java developers; architects, managers, and other IT professionals.
