It shows how to develop container-managed entity beans, bean- managed persistence beans, session beans, and message-driven beans. The fourth edition covers EJB 2.1 and adds an EJB workbook for executing the examples on the JBoss 4.0 application server. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
