This book provides experienced software developers with all the information they need to develop robust, powerful EJB applications. It describes EJB technology in detail, starting from first principles and progressing to distributed, transactional and secure applications. Boone explains aspects of the EJB architecture that are normally hidden from developers, such as the internal operation of EJB containers, security aspects of communications protocols, resource pooling and optimization strategies, and the technicalities of distributed transaction processing schemes. The book also describes the interaction between EJB applications and related technologies, like servlets, CORBA, messaging, directories and Web Services.
