What some are calling the best thing to happen to enterprise programming since Java itself, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) radically streamlines the server-side application development process. In this book, you'll learn EJB from a developer's perspective---the author cuts through the marketing hype and shows you both the good and the bad in developing real-world EJB applications. You'll learn everything you need to jumpstart your EJB development, --from understanding the basics of the EJB architecture, to developing transactional, scalable, and secure multi-user enterprise applications. After reading this book, you'll know how to:

* Develop with both EJB 1.0 as well as the new EJB 1.1 standard

* Master the technologies that complement EJB: Java RMI, RMI-IIOP, JTA, JNDI, CORBA, and XML. E(each of these topics is covered in full)

* Develop with both bean types: session beans (stateful and stateless), and entity beans (bean-managed and container-managed persistent)

* Design, implement, and deploy a real-world e-commerce system, with a total of nine enterprise beans and seven Java servlets

* Avoid pitfalls that could make your code non-portable across EJB servers

* Make an educated EJB server purchase decision

The CD-ROM provides you with:

* An immense amount of sample code that you can extend for your own needs
