Hi Everyone, I'm happy to announce that the book, Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd Edition (O'Reilly 2001), is now available! The 3rd edition covers EJB 2.0 including message driven beans, complex entity-to-entity relationships, EJB QL, session beans, and a whole lot more. It also has coverage of EJB 1.1 for those of us who are still working in that environment.
Amazon.com link for EJB book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596002262 (You will notice that O'Reilly EJB book doesn't use the "Toy Train" cover any longer. We are now using a Kangaroo on the cover). In addition to the EJB book, a companion guide for WebLogic 6.1 is available for free download. This companion guide, called a workbook, shows how to download, install, and configure WebLogic 6.1 and run the EJB book's many examples in WebLogic 6.1. It also provides a lot helpful hints about WebLogic and is written by Greg Nyberg, one the leading experts in WebLogic. This workbook will help people get up an running with EJB 2.0 very quickly. In addition to the free PDF, there is a full set of example code with build scripts for WebLogic 6.1. Its all Free! Link for free workbooks: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/entjbeans3/workbooks/index.html (Paper editions will be available for sale soon from Titan-Books.com). The WebLogic workbook is only the first in a series of workbooks. Next week a workbook for WebSphere 4.0 AEs will become available and later in the year a workbook for the J2EE 1.3 SDK will also be published. If there are other platforms you are interested in having workbooks for, please let me know about it. Thanks!
