Enterprise Javabeans By Example

Learn how to code, package, deploy, and test functional Enterprise JavaBeans with the latest edition of this bestselling guide. Written by the developers of JBoss EJB 3.1, this book not only brings you up to speed on each component type and container service in this implementation, it also provides a workbook with several hands-on examples to help you gain immediate experience with these components. With version 3.1, EJB's server-side component model for building distributed business applications is simpler than ever. But it's still a complex technology that requires study and lots of practice to master. Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 is the most complete reference on this specification. You'll find a straightforward, no-nonsense explanation of the underlying technology, including Java classes and interfaces, the component model, and the runtime behavior of EJB. Develop your first EJBs with a hands-on walkthrough of EJB 3.1 concepts Learn how to encapsulate business logic with Session Beans and Message-Driven Beans Discover how to handle persistence through Entity Beans, the EntityManager, and the Java Persistence API Understand EJB's container services such as dependency injection, concurrency, and interceptors Integrate EJB with other technologies in the Java Enterprise Edition platform Use examples with either the JBossAS, OpenEJB, or GlassFish v3 EJB Containers

Includes more than 30 percent revised material and five new chapters, covering the new 2.1 features such as EJB Timer Service and JMS as well as the latest open source Java solutions The book was developed as part of TheServerSide.com online EJB community, ensuring a built-in audience Demonstrates how to build an EJB system, program with EJB, adopt best practices, and harness advanced EJB concepts and techniques, including transactions, persistence, clustering, integration, and performance optimization Offers practical guidance on when not to use EJB and how to use simpler, less costly open source technologies in place of or in conjunction with EJB

If you're up on the latest Java technologies, then you know that Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 is the hottest news in Java this year. In fact, EJB 3.0 is being hailed as the new standard of server-side business logic programming. And O'Reilly's award-winning book on EJB has been refreshed just in time to capitalize on the technology's latest rise in popularity. This fifth edition, written by Bill Burke and Richard Monson-Haefel, has been updated to capture the very latest need-to-know Java technologies in the same award-winning fashion that drove the success of the previous four strong-selling editions. Bill Burke, Chief Architect at JBoss, Inc., represents the company on the EJB 3.0 and Java EE 5 specification committees. Richard Monson-Haefel is one of the world's leading experts on Enterprise Java. Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, 5th Edition is organized into two parts: the technical manuscript followed by the JBoss workbook. The technical manuscript explains what EJB is, how it works, and when to use it. The JBoss workbook provides step-by-step instructions for installing, configuring, and running the examples from the manuscript on the JBoss 4.0 Application Server. Although EJB makes application development much simpler, it's still a complex and ambitious technology that requires a great deal of time to study and master. But now, thanks to Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, 5th Edition, you can overcome the complexities of EJBs and learn from hundreds of practical examples that are largeenough to test key concepts but small enough to be taken apart and explained in the detail that you need. Now you can harness the complexity of EJB with just a single resource by your side.

This third edition explains the underlying technology, Java classes and interfaces, component model, and runtime behavior of Enterprise JavaBeans. In addition, the book contains an architecture overview, information on resource management and primary services, design strategies, and XML deployment descriptors.

Special Edition Using EJB 2.0starts with a description of how EJB fits into the big picture of J2EE development, then covers such topics as: Locating EJB's using JNDI Managing data with EJB Query Language Building JMS applications using the new Message-driven Bean Planning EJB applications using design patterns Later chapters describe advanced development topics including interoperability, horizontal services and clustering. Throughout the book, the authors construct a component-based auction web site using the J2EE architecture as a practical example.

Applied Enterprise JavaBeans Technologyshows how to leverage the full power of EJB 2.0 to build industrial-strength applications that are distributed, transactional, and secure. Exceptionally comprehensive and accurate, this book starts from first principles and progresses to the state-of-the-art, revealing normally hidden aspects of the EJB architecture that offer immense power to developers. It includes a full-scale case study, in-depth coverage of integration, and extensive cross-references to the official EJB 2.0 specifications.

Build powerful back-end business logic and complex Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)-based applications using Java EE 8, Eclipse Enterprise for Java (EE4J), Web Tools Project (WTP), and the Microprofile platform. Targeted at Java and Java EE developers, with or without prior EJB experience, this book is packed with practical insights, strategy tips, and code examples. As each chapter unfolds, you'll see how you can apply the new EJB spec to your own applications through specific examples. Beginning EJB in Java EE 8 serves not only as a reference, but also as a how-to guide and repository of practical examples to which you can refer as you build your own applications. It will help you harness the power of EJBs and take your Java EE 8 development to the next level. You'll gain the knowledge and skills you’ll need to create the complex enterprise applications that run today's transactions and more. What You'll Learn Build applications with Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) in the new Java EE 8 platform Discover when to use EJBs over contexts and dependency injection Use message-driven beans to do tasks asynchronously Integrate EJBs with microservices using the new Eclipse Microprofile project Manage complex enterprise transactions and much more Who This Book Is For Java programmers new to enterprise development and for those who may have experience with EJBs but are new to Java EE 8, EE4J, and related Eclipse projects.
