Here’s how the book is structured. The first three chapters are largely background material, placing Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0 and 1.1 in the context of related technologies and explaining at the most abstract level how the EJB technology works and what makes up an enterprise bean. Chapter 4 through Chapter 13 go into detail about developing enterprise beans of various types. Chapter 14 and Chapter 15 could be considered advanced topics, except that transactions (Chapter 14) are essential to everything that happens in enterprise computing, and design strategies (Chapter 15) help you deal with a number of real-world issues that influence bean design. Chapter 16 describes in detail the XML deployment descriptors used in EJB 2.0 and 1.1, and Chapter 17 gives an overview of Java™ 2, Enterprise Edition ( J2EE), which includes servlets, JavaServer Pages™ ( JSP), and EJB.
