3.0 out of 5 stars Although easy to read, this book is a lightweight., October 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Enterprise JavaBeans by Example with CDROM (Paperback)

This book is okay. The overall layout is clear, and it's really an easy read. This is both good and bad. I didn't leave from this book with a lot of deep substance. Some chapters seemed particularly irrelevant, like the future of EJB. That's nice, but a whole chapter?

I would recommend this as an easy read and very gentle introduction to anyone learning EJB.

2.0 out of 5 stars Decent introduction to the technology, too much IBM, March 18, 2000

By 

Charles (the People's Republic of Boulder) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enterprise JavaBeans by Example with CDROM (Paperback)

I agree that this is a decent introduction, and an easy read.

I bought it to get some opinions about how to apply the EJB technology. Unfortunately, the section about applying EJB is purely about how to get IBM Visualage to generate EJBs for IBM Webshpere. Had I spent more time looking through it in the bookstore, I might have realized it is really just one of the dreaded "IBM Redbooks" with a fancier cover.

Buy it if you need a very simple introduction to EJBs or if you work in an IBM shop, otherwise look elsewhere. I bought the Berg's "Advanced Java 2 Development for Enterprise Applications, 2nd ed." the same day, and so far I've gotten much more mileage out of that purchase.

I'm still looking for the book on how to build a real system with EJB 1.1.

1.0 out of 5 stars useless examples - too many errors, November 14, 2000

By 

Rene Schmitt (Charlestown, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enterprise JavaBeans by Example with CDROM (Paperback)

I agree with the reviews ... But ...these commentators must not have tried to follow the examples in chapter 10, "putting the theory to work". There is an outrageous number of errors in the step by step procedures to build the example project/beans. After many attempts (as an experienced Java programmer) I finally had to give up on going thru the examples. What is more aggrevating is that there was no attempt to make any errata available to correct these problems. Don't waste your money on this ... ripoff !!
