Product DescriptionJust as cookbooks contain step-by-step directions for creating different dishes, this book contains recipes for solving problems concerning Enterprise JavaBeans. Topics addressed range from simple, everyday issues to complex design issues using EJB patterns. Intended for developers with some EJB development experience, an understanding of the concepts of enterprise development and the basics of EJB programming is assumed. This book clearly addresses problems and issues and avoids the use of EJB keywords, making it ideal for developers who want quick solutions to frequent problems-or simply EJB development ideas. Easy-to-find recipes range from the common to the advanced and include techniques for securing a message-driven bean, generating EJB code, and improving an entity bean persistence layer.

Average Rating:
Rating: - Good reference
This book is for the experienced developer who wants to keep a reference at hand of useful patterns (or recipes). Good to have in the library.
Rating: - Thanks for making a good cookbook !
Finally, one and only, the best cookbook. It has so many good code examples - finally developers will be able to quickly find a solution - perfect. Very clear, nice, neat, easy to read.
I would like to see a cookbook by the same author about J2EE, e.g. best practice or most common techniques. Hopefully one day.
If only it has more than 350 pages, please add more.
I hope there will be a second part, with even more stuff in there.
Rating: - Good idea, poor implementation.
The book is well structured, and looking into the contents you can see that it concerns a wide range of really interesting topics. It is not as boring as other EJB books. But ... Do you think that 300 pages could cover topics like EJB security, transactions, messaging, XDoclet in such a depth that you can use the recipes in action? The other point is that the the book is full of very serious errors. Code examples are never tested and there are conceptual mistakes in the text. Did ... Read More
Rating: - Valuable resource in a convenient form
Although some of the recipes don't fit directly into the strict cookbook form this book is still an excellent resource for J2EE programmers. The author intends this book to be read by engineers with some EJB experience who encounter challenges or problems with EJB. The book organizes these problems into topics by chapter (e.g. transactions, security, logging, data access, code generation, etc.), and then presents each problem within the chapter in a standard form; problem, background, recipe, discussion, ...

Rating: - An OK reference for recurring tasks
EJB Cookbook is a collection of recipes for the common EJB developer, wondering how a certain task can be accomplished with EJBs.
The authors state early on that the focus is not on teaching the EJB technology and basics. Despite of what the authors just said in the preface, the book starts with exactly the kind of basics that encourage quick browsing.
The 2nd chapter is a U-turn and points the book to the right direction for most of the journey. The overall level of the recipes is still ... Read More
