Synopsis

In this authoritative book, Sun's Enterprise JavaBeans architect demonstrates how to leverage the full power of EJB to deploy component-based enterprise systems faster, and more effectively. Start by understanding EJB's architecture and its interrelationships with the rest of Sun Microsystems' rich Java 2 Enterprise Edition platform for large-scale business development. Compare each architectural option for implementing EJB in your applications, and understand when to use each; review each element of an Enterprise JavaBean; then master container tools and services, EJB roles, session beans, entity beans, transactions, security, and more. The book includes extensive sample code, full-fledged application examples, and a complete API reference. It will be an ideal resource for everyone implementing Enterprise JavaBeans applications: in-house corporate developers, third-party developers creating EJB applications and reusable components; Java developers; architects, managers, and other IT professionals.

From the Back Cover

Written by the chief architect of the Enterprise JavaBean™ (EJB) specification, Applying Enterprise JavaBeans™ provides complete, in-depth, and authoritative information on the EJB technology. Written for Java developers, IT personnel and independent software vendors (ISVs), this book presents the EJB architecture from the point of view of the person developing EJB applications.

You will find in-depth coverage of such topics as:

• EJB's place within the Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition
• The advantages of the EJB architecture
• The internal structure of enterprise beans
• Session beans, including a discussion on stateful versus stateless session beans
• Entity beans, including life cycle, persistence management, and container management
• Transaction management
• Overview of security responsibilities of the various EJB roles
• Using EJB in application integration

Two example applications that run throughout the book are used to illustrate many of the typical problems encountered in enterprise application development. The first example application, a benefits enrollment application developed by an in-house IT department, explains session beans and how to use them. The second example uses the first example and turns it into an application developed by an ISV, demonstrating how the entity bean architecture helps ISVs overcome the challenges of programming for multiple clients and different operational environments.

In addition to the two application examples, the authors describe the individual features of the EJB architecture and discuss when and how they should be used in applications. The book concludes with a comprehensive API reference.
