Learn how to code, package, deploy, and test functional Enterprise JavaBeans with the latest edition of this bestselling guide. Written by the developers of JBoss EJB 3.1, this book not only brings you up to speed on each component type and container service in this implementation, it also provides a workbook with several hands-on examples to help you gain immediate experience with these components.

With version 3.1, EJB's server-side component model for building distributed business applications is simpler than ever. But it's still a complex technology that requires study and lots of practice to master. Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 is the most complete reference on this specification. You'll find a straightforward, no-nonsense explanation of the underlying technology, including Java classes and interfaces, the component model, and the runtime behavior of EJB.

Develop your first EJBs with a hands-on walkthrough of EJB 3.1 concepts
Learn how to encapsulate business logic with Session Beans and Message-Driven Beans
Discover how to handle persistence through Entity Beans, the EntityManager, and the Java Persistence API
Understand EJB's container services such as dependency injection, concurrency, and interceptors
Integrate EJB with other technologies in the Java Enterprise Edition platform
Use examples with either the JBossAS, OpenEJB, or GlassFish v3 EJB Containers

The animals on the cover of Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1, Sixth Edition, are a wallaby and her joey. Wallabies are medium-sized marsupials belonging to the kangaroo family (Macropodidae; the second-largest marsupial family). They are grazers and browsers, native to Australia, and found in a variety of habitats on that continent. Female wallabies have a well-developed anterior pouch in which they hold their young. When they are born, the tiny, still-blind joeys instinctively crawl up into their mothers’ pouches and begin to nurse. They stay in the pouch until they are fairly well grown. A female wallaby can support joeys from up to three litters at once: one in her uterus, one in her pouch, and one that has graduated from the pouch but still returns to nurse.

Like all Macropodidae, wallabies have long, narrow hind feet and powerful hind limbs. Their long, heavy tails are used primarily for balance and stability and are not prehensile. Wallabies resemble kangaroos but are smaller: they measure from less than two feet to over five feet long, with the tail accounting for nearly half of their total length. Oddly enough, although they can hop along quite quickly (reaching speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour), it is physically impossible for wallabies to walk backward!

The three main types of wallaby are brush, rock, and nail-tailed. There are eleven species of brush wallaby (genus Macropus) and six named species of rock wallaby (Petrogale). Brush wallabies usually live in brushland or open woods. Rock wallabies, which are notable for their extreme agility, are usually found among rocks and near water. There are only three species of nail-tailed wallaby (Onychogalea), which are so named because of the horny growth that appears on the tip of their tails. The major threats to wallabies today are hunting, habitat destruction, and predation by and competition with introduced species.

The cover image is from The Illustrated Natural History: Mammalia, by J. G. Wood. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont’s TheSansMonoCondensed.
