2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated, May 16, 2001

This review is from: Oracle8i Java Component Programming With EJB, CORBA AND JSP (Paperback)

Basically this is the only book available that deals with EJB and Oracle Application Server. But the book is outdated. Basically handles only EJB1.0 spec, so the deployment descriptors are old. It does not cover Entity Beans. So if you are using Oralcle 8.1.7 or Oracle 9 i App Server, this book is out dated for you. The flow of topics could have been better. Any way we dont have much choice, as this is the only book on this topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Professional Book, October 18, 2000

By 

Alain French (Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oracle8i Java Component Programming With EJB, CORBA AND JSP (Paperback)

Last year, I found the Oracle8i SQLJ Programming book (by Morisseau-Leroy, Solomon, and Momplaisir) while surfing for a book on SQLJ. I must say that the Oracle8i SQLJ book is an excellent book indeed, and the ONLY worth reading book on SQLJ. When, I saw on amazon.com the advertising about the Oracle8i Java Component Book (by the same authors), I quickly purchased it. So far, I have read the first three chapters. The first chapter two chapters introduce the concepts ofcomponent-based applications using JDBC and SQLJ and Web applications, while the third one takes you straight in EJB. A note of caution, the Oracle8i Java Component Book is an advanced book on component concepts and assumes that the reader knows SQL, PL/SQL, Java, JDBC, SQLJ, and Oracle database. Extremely informative. I strongly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly outstanding book., October 14, 2000

By 

Alan Haywood (White Plains, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Oracle8i Java Component Programming With EJB, CORBA AND JSP (Paperback)

This is a truly outstanding book on Enterprise JavaBeans, CORBA, and JavaServer Pages as they appear in the Oracle8i environment. However, this book is written so as to be useful in other environments as well. The treatment in this book is based on the presentation of detailed and clearly written examples that teach the reader how to implement and use the Java components. The book starts out with two clearly written chapters that introduce distributed components and Web processing, respectively. This is followed by three chapters on EJB, four chapters on CORBA, and three chapters on JSP. The book is filled with necessary information on how to work with the Oracle8i implementation of CORBA, EJB, and JSP, including information on caveats and bugs that you won't find in the manuals. According to her author bio, Julie Basu is the person who actually implemented the Oracle8i version of JSP, so that we are getting the information straight from the horse's mouth. If you want to avoid frustrating hours spent in trying to use these systems on Oracle8i, I highly recommend buying this book.
