Actually pretty poor., April 17 2006
Probably the worst O'Reilley book I have come across. The content is extensive but hard to follow and the examples are poorly constructed.
For a beginner java beans is a difficult enough subject to grasp, but using a IDE tool is extremely useful, as it at least provides some guidelines. Sadly the book relies solely on hand coding, which is frustrating and difficult.
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, July 15 2001
I'd like to comment on the overall appearance of the book. First of all, I have
to say that I'm positively surprised by the thoroughness and quality of writing
of the author Richard Monson-Haefel. I find his book very instructive and
it makes for a decent lead-in to the EJB subject. The book is well organized
and every chapter builds on knowledge aquired in former chapters.
The content of the book notwithstanding, I have to give the bookbinding a huge
thumbs-down. Try to work with the book, make annotations, and leaf through the
chapters and not see any of the pages come off !
Please, please, please provide your books with a more durable backbinding.
If that is more expensive for you, I'm willing to pay more money for your
otherwise execellent books, okay ? The binding of the Enterprise JavaBeans book
is definitely unworthy of O'Reilly and Associates.
Best regards,

Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, May 21 2001
Overall very good book. Only problem is the example cruise reservation
system did not have a class diagram which would have made it easier to
understand. Also, the JNDI explanation was not too good. Other than that
I thought the book is the best for explaining EJB 1.1 concepts (see
ED Roman's book for EJB 1.0).
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, April 02 2001
Very Good Book.
Goes in depth of the EnterPrise java beans architecture.
There is more explaination on EJB1.0 than needed.
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, February 15 2001
Pros:
A very good reference on EJB and Serverside Computing environments.
Very descriptive on the EJB Architecture.
Cons:
Too much emphasis on EJB1.0
Not enough examples. IF you are looking for more examples or code snippets then this book falls short.
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, January 22 2001
Excellent
Frequently used in my library. It offers code that can serve as a "Template" for any of your entity and session beans. The complete description of container behavior is extremely helpful. I have used this book in conjunction with jBoss and Pramati and all the information applies perfectly.
I am looking forward to hopefully an early Edition 3, thanks to the recent 2.0 spec.
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, January 01 2001
The ultimate book to teach you Enterprise JAVA.
Covers the fundamentals very well and gives you a very good overall concept.
Worth buying and reading it.
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, November 07 2000
Really this is the BEST Book to learn EJB.
Even persons having no idea about Server side programming can also read, understand and appreciate the Power of EJB.
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, September 22 2000
When I started with EJB this was (EJB 1.0 version) the first book I had referred other than SUN EJB specification. As a beginner I had hard time understanding the details explained in the book. Later I went for a less technical detail book and jumped on back to EJB 1.0 version of this book. I could see how the book had covered technical details in depth. The examples explained ,provided me a spring board to jump on and work on EJB1.0. Since the book did not cover much on the Application server side featues there was an additional study needed to work on specific App server.
I bought the this Book (EJB 1.1) when I found that the Application server document could not describe in detail how to move from EJB 1.0 to 1.1. Again this was an excellent reference and could tranfer to EJB1.1 in no time.
I reccomend this book to everyone who is not a starter to EJB. There are lot of other books to understand the basic fundamentals of EJB. But for an advanced user this book is very very handy

Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, June 21 2000
This is a good book. I get a lot from it after reading. But, as the EJB 2.0 spec public draft is announced, I would like to know that is there any planning for the publication date of the newer version of "Enterprise JavaBean" (with spec 2.0)? I look forward to it.
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, June 01 2000
Chapters 2 and 3 (regarding the architecture of EJB) are extremely good, and I at least, haven't found this material anywhere else.
However, when I first attempted to read it, I had trouble following it. I would recommend a chapter in between ch 1 and ch 2 similar to Getting Started of "Java Enterprice Edition Developer's Guide" by Sun to help the reader get a feeling of EJB first.
Enterprise JavaBeans, 2nd Edition Review, May 29 2000
Absolutely fantastic. Very clearly written and, despite some obvious typos and mistakes, it is highly recommended.

2001 Java Pro Third Annual Reader's Choice Awards Best Java Book for Experts
"With plenty of material on EJB architecture and design, this new edition can serve as an authoritative resource for mastering today's bean standards. Besides a general introduction to EJBs, the new edition of this book excels at highlighting the differences between the EJB 1.0 and 1.1 standards. Sample code is provided for both versions. In all, the revised edition of Enterprise JavaBeans shows off the considerable strengths of the new EJB 1.1 standard. Suitable for any working Java programmer or IT manager, the clear presentation of the strategies and techniques for successful component design help make this book a smart choice for successful development with EJBs." --Richard Dragan, amazon.com, May 2001
"a superb update...in this excellent 2nd edition, Monson-Haefel continues to improve an already strong work in this highly specialized field, helping users learn how to develop EJB to model their business and how to use the beans in clients. He has produced an essential guide for those heavily involved in using Java in their company to work on enterprise software development projects. Once again, the famous O'Reilly emphasis on a common-sense approach to explaining very technical material, depth of detail, and focus on the practical, has resulted in yet another very useful O'Reilly text that is very relevant to anyone working in Java." --Dale Farris, Golden Triangle PC Club, May 2001
