This is a well written book on EJB. There are many code examples and diagrams. The authors do an excellent job of explaining how and when to use the various types of beans. A technical book that easy to read.
The authors only show the relevant parts of code in the examples but include the complete code in an appendix. This allows for better understanding of what the authors are trying to convey.
This is a book that will not end up on the shelf gathering dust. It is one of the few technical books that I will reread.

This new edition of " Applying Enterprise JavaBeans" is a well written look at the Enterprise JavaBeans 2.1 specification. The explanations of the topics are in-depth and yet easy to follow. The authors provide diagrams and supporting code samples demonstrating how to write code for each topic covered. They also provide explanations of when a particular technology is appropriate for your applications. The book even has a glossary if you forgot what an acronym stands for.
The book covers all the usual topics one would expect in a book on EJBs. It starts with a general overview and then covers each of the various bean types. Session beans (stateful and stateless), message driven beans, and entity beans are each covered. An example is discussed which includes packaging of theapplication for production. The following chapter covers integrating web services into your EJB applications. Subsequent chapters cover transactions and security. The authors have done a great job of explaining not just how to code EJBs but also how they work within an application server, which you need to know to use EJBs successfully.
The book is similar to the O'Reilly book in size and scope although this book has the advantage of being more current. Overall, the book is well written, easy to follow, and extremely useful. If you are new to EJBs or if you are looking for a book to bring you up to date on the new specification then this book will make a good choice.
