With EJB 3.0, Sun Microsystems has simplified the programming model for Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) dramatically, and Java developers are hailing EJB 3.0 as the new standard of server-side business logic programming. "Enterprise JavaBeans" has been updated to capture the latest need-to-know Java technologies in the same award- winning fashion that drove the success of four previous strong-selling editions (over 150,000 copies in print). The fifth edition has been drastically overhauled for the latest specification of the Java programming language and provides everything programmers need to work with the eminent 3.0 standard. The authors' solid grasp on the complexities of EJBs coupled with a succinct, easy-to-follow style and hundreds of clear, practical examples are the reason this book was voted "Best Java Book" by the editors and readers of Java Developer's Journal.
