Rating:  - SCBCD Exam Study Kit
This is a very good book on a complex subject. Explanations of the concepts are easy to understand. Exam objectives are covered in detail with example codes and review questions.
Each chapter covers the individual exam objectives as well as summarizing the gist. Logical organization of the chapters helps conceptualize even the toughest topics.
The Quick Prep Appendix for last-minute cramming and free downloadable Whizlabs SCBCD exam simulator are very effective tools for the exam.
I recommend this book as must have SCBCD exam preparation book that can be also used as a reference book on EJB.
Rating: - great work
After the exams SCJP,SCWCD; I decided to learn and take the SCBCD certification. I'd not had any clue about enterprise beans before the exam. I'd started many books about EJB and EJB exams but I got bored all of them. I also tried to read Sun's specs but it was hard for a beginner. Then I bought Sanghera`s SCBCD Exam kit. It was really good for a beginner, easy to read. In fact it was like a novel, I could not stop reading it. After a month I passed exam with %90. I really recommend this book. Now I fell like I am an expert in this topic. When I design and write codes related with EJB, It's a good thing to know what is what and what is going there. Also now I can understand Sun`s specs where easily, they now seem like a story, because now I have the background for that. As I read in one of reviews above I would be very happy if Sanghera writes the same for SCWCD.
Rating:  - Good explanation but numerous code mistakes
I found the explanation quite thorough and easy to follow. The chapters are well organized to facilitate learning the various aspects of the J2EE container.
The free exam simulator is definitely worth it.
My only complain is the lack of attention to the code examples. There are numerous mistakes, mostly due to incorrect upper-case characters at the start of package names. Java is case-sensitive, so its important to turn-off the word-processor's auto-capitalization feature when writing a Java book. Other minor mistakes include incorrect syntax in several places. However, none of these are serious because any J2EE developer should have no problem recognizing such basic Java coding mistakes.
Rating: - Excellent
Excellent very clear, with step by step learning. Almost complete.
Recommended if you want to have a clear vision of Ejb
Rating: - Rock-solid EJB text
This book covers better than other available J2EE books how EJBs work. It logically separates the session, entity and message beans and explains in a comprehensive and digestible way the key points to remember in the EJB lifecycle.
I wrote beans for several years before this book, and I can say in honesty that I actually understand how it all works only after reading this book.
Good for the test, good for Developer knowledge.
