DESCRIPTION
The EJB Cookbook is a resource for the practicing EJB developer. It is a systematic collection of EJB 'recipes'. Each recipe describes a practical problem and its background; it then shows the code that
solves it, and ends with a detailed discussion.
This unique book is written for developers who want quick, clean, solutions to frequent problems--or simply EJB development ideas. Easy to find recipes range from the common to the advanced. How do you secure a message-driven bean? How do you generate EJB code? How can you improve your entity bean persistence layer?
What's inside:
- EJB 2.1 features
- CMP and BMP bean problems
- EJB web service endpoints
- Transactions and security
- Solving EJB client problems
- Testing EJB applications
- Exception handling best practices
- Messaging solutions
- EJB code generation and logging

Back Cover
"Every Java developer should own this book ... [it] succeeds by being precise and straight-forward in providing solutions to specific problems for learning on the go."
—Ganapathy Arunkumar, Sr. Software Engineer"This book is a compelling buy, especially if you realize how much you can gain in just a few hours by reading it."
—Ravi Mathur, Level(3) Communications"I really do like the problem/solution format of this book — it's right on the money. Discussion of open-source tools including XDoclet is very, very useful. The cross referencing in each recipe is a great idea."
—Lester Martin, J2EE Consultant
The EJB Cookbook is a systematic collection of solutions to practicalæ problems of EJB development. Conveniently organized into recipes, it helps you spend more time developing and less time searching. Each recipe is linked to a network of related recipes. For example, if you look up "Java Message Service", you will also find entries dealing with logging in a clustered environment, as well as generating deployment descriptors.
How do you secure a message-driven bean? How do you generate EJB code? How do you write a solid entity bean persistence layer? Practical questions like these and many more are explained, solved and linked to others. This book is written to be an essential resource for developers, allowing them to find, understand and apply solutions on the spot.

WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING
"A good buy for the more experienced J2EE-programmer."
-- C Vu magazine, June 2004
"This book provides a great reference for the average EJB developer. It
provides recipes for most common tasks that an EJB developer would need."
-- Computing Reviews, Nov. 2003
"...Sullins and Whipple have written an amazingly pleasing book. I enjoyed
both their writing style and the simplicity and clarity of the presentation.
If you are managing servers, you will need to look at this exciting
technology, and this book offers a great way to get into it. I am looking
forward to using JMX for my next server project."
-- Computing Reviews, March 2003
"...I am happy with the fact that the authors have included chapters
on using XDoclet for EJB development and on unit testing EJBs with
Cactus. The body of the book is, simply put, a compact reference for
accomplishing recurring development tasks."
