Rating:  - Excellent EJB 3.0 and excellent book!
I began to learn EJB 3.0 from JBoss EJB 3.0 tutorial and demo examples, and found that the EJB 3.0 is really a amazing technology in Java evolution. After finishing half of the book, I feel much more confident on EJB3.0. The book has more detailed explanations and examples comparing to the tutorial. If you want to learn and practice Java EE 5, the book should be the best start.
Rating:  - Does the job
Good book.
Easy to read and contains comprehensive examples and excercises for JBOSS App Server.
Does not contain enough examples on creating EJB architectures, which is ok as that was not the intention of the book.
The one thing that threw me off every now and then is the book's coding conventions, like calling "Data Transfer Objects" "Dependent Objects", naming such objects with DO in the end instead of DTO, which is the way done in NetBeans 5.0 IDE when creating EJBs.
Overall, it's a very good starters' book. Looking forward to the next book about EJB 3.0
Rating:  - the best book to start with J2EE that you can read over and over again
This book in a previous release was my start in the world of J2EE. Since then I've worked on many project with many technologies involved and, of all the books I read, at the end I always came back to this one for more insight and details.
One of my best buys ever and a must for anyone interested in real three-tier applications.

Rating: - Great resource on EJB
RMH is an excellent author. His books on JMS, Web Services, J2EE topics are living examples to his penmanship. I highly recommend this book if you intend to work with EJBs. The treatment of EJBs - SLSB, SFSB,Entity Beans and MDBs plus the new additions as part of EJB 2.1 have been well explained. A great reference book for consultants who go on the road to customer sites, for quick resolution of issues.

Rating:  - Are you using EJB?
I admire the author for having written such a beautiful book. However, I'm questioning whether or not we still need this book because EJB is too complex to write and entity beans are embarrassment for Sun.
EJB 2.1 and the previous versions slow the entire development process. You'd better off go without EJB and use servlet/JSP/JDBC and others.
I'm eagerly waiting for EJB 3, in which writing EJB would be as easy as 123 (no more remote and home interfaces) and entity beans are plain old Java objects.
