WebLogic Server 6.1 Workbook for Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd Edition [Paperback]

Greg Nyberg (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2001

The WebLogic workbook is designed to be a companion guide for the book Enterprise Java Beans, 3rd Edition (O'Reilly) by Richard Monson-Haefel. It is published with the approval of O'Reilly & Associates and is produced by Richard Monson-Haefel.

The goal of this WebLogic-specific workbook, like the other vendor-specific workbooks published by Titan Books, is to provide practical, step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the WebLogic Server product, and for deploying the example programs from Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd Edition in a WebLogic environment.

This workbook also discusses key WebLogic-specific requirements, best practices, and the use of WebLogic-specific tools such as the WebLogic Administration Console. You will build web-based versions of many of the example programs, gaining insight into the relationships between web applications and EJB applications in the WebLogic Server product.

This book is based on the production release of the WebLogic Server 6.1 product and includes all of the EJB 2.0 examples from the Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd Edition book. All of the examples and techniques demonstrated in this bookwork properly with the 6.1 GA release of WebLogic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful, if you know what it is for., April 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: WebLogic Server 6.1 Workbook for Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

I am afraid that the reader from Jackson missed the whole point. He confesses that he didn't "by" the book, just downloaded it. The downloadable version has about 150 pages missing. The whole purpose of this book is to let you study the live code up close and personal. This is NOT a tutorial on how to use WebLogic, (how deployment descriptors are generated is not important, how you write EJB 2.0 compliant code is important). I was able to run all the examples without much problem. This book is an enormous value for money and if you are already familiar with 1.1, can get you up and running with 2.0 in record amount of time (WITH appserver of your choice, to boot).

I used this book in conjunction with 'Enterprise Java Beans 3d Edition' to prepare for the Sun J2EE Architect certification. It was extremely helpful in the use of WebLogic and ALL of the examples worked as promised. There is also a yahoo users group to support the book where the author answers questions and gives encouragement (wouldn't it be nice if all authors took the time to REALLY support their books?) I'd recommmend this book to anyone struggling to get a handle on creating and deploying webapps on WebLogic. Used in conjunction with 'Enterprise Java Beans 3d Edition' you can't go wrong. I buy a lot of books, some are good, some are bad, some are excellent. This book is one of the latter. The combination of the two books is excellent and I got my certification.

This review is from: WebLogic Server 6.1 Workbook for Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

This workbook is a companion guide to the book Enterprise JavaBeans (3rd edition) published by O'Reilly and written by Richard Monson-Haefel. This workbook walks the reader through installing and configuring WebLogic 6.1 as well as deploying the examples described in the EJB book.

This is a very readable book that explains some of the WebLogic-specific requirements as well as best practices for dealing with EJB's (EJB 2.0 spec) in a WebLogic environment. I highly recommend this book for anyone working with EJB's on the WebLogic application server.
