Chapter 5: The EJB 2.0 Entity Model | Chapter 9: Transactions and EJB

The JDC is pleased to present chapters by Daniel O'Connor and Dave Young from the book Professional EJB published by Wrox Press.

About the Book

Professional EJB is the first book on the market to show how to develop and deploy Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) applications using both the 1.1 and the new 2.0 specification. As well as implementation details, the book also provides a number of strategies and patterns that can be applied when designing your EJB applications. Subsequently, it also suggests steps for taking existing EJBs and improving their performance. Finally, the book recognizes that one of the most difficult areas of EJB development is the deployment process. Thus it demonstrates how to deploy your EJB applications to some of the leading EJB containers including BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere and Sybase EAServer. Professional EJB is the most complete and up-to-date book available on the market for professional Java developers who wish to build secure, scalable and transactional components.

About the Chapters

Chapter 5: "The EJB 2.0 Entity Model," provides a detailed overview of the changes to entity beans in the EJB 2.0 specification, including abstract methods, relationships, EJB QL, and a comparison with the old 1.1 model.

Chapter 9: "Transactions and EJB," develops a thorough understanding of transactions, transactional systems, and how to effectively use them to improve the scalability, reliability and dependability of EJB-based applications.
