Summary: Good for a Lightweight Overview - Poor Value
Review: If you haven't read any on-line or magazine articles this book will give you a good intro to EJBs.
Rating: 
Summary: readable, well structured and authoritative
Review: It is readable, well structured and authoritative. Very unusual features in the first book on a new software technology. As a Java programmer who has been following this list for a few months, this looks like the tutorial I need, along with my 30 day demo of Weblogic, to come to grips with EJB.Like most Addison Wesley books it is visually appealing, crisp and clear. I'd recommend it.

Summary: A Reader from New York
Review: It's a good book at first glance. But it contains cubersome code Explanation and some wrong examples which waste time to make them run. My suggestion to beginners is getting another book.

Summary: Simply an overview - nothing to get excited about
Review: Nothing spectacular about this book - but yup its a gentle intro to the newcomer. Better off reading the specs & other articles available on the net

Summary: If you dont have the patience...
Review: The best thing about this book is that it gives the reader a jump start into the world of EJB. This book is ideal for a developer who is under severe time constraints to understand and write an EJB based system. This book is for people who want to get the job done. It will also give you a good understanding of the overall structure of EJB. Another good thing is the weblogic server in the CDROM, so you do not need anything other than a PC to code and run EJB. BUT I would not suggest this book if you are looking for a deeper understanding of EJB and related technologies.

Summary: An excellent introductory tome
Review: The book is exceptional at explaining what can be a very confusing technology. The author starts with some very simple examples, and then uses practical, real world examples (such as a shopping cart/bag) to clarify things. Well done.

Summary: Extremely disappointing and Not any substance
Review: This book claims to cover the complex process of component based distributed computing with Enterprise JavaBeans.I started off with it,thinking that it would provide me with the substance I need to for beginning with my professional level applications using EJB.However,I was greatly disappointed as the book never provided me with any details of what goes into building enterprise level applications using EJB.All the stuff was too elementary and seemed to be a rehash of the EJB specifications.The examples are rare and it seems the author himself is confused about a few things.I would suggest to anybody serious about development with EJB,read the book by Ed Roman.

Summary: Delivered as Promised
Review: This book does exactly what it promises. It helps the average Java developer to understand the EJB world. This is the first real book on EJB. I'm sure that the author was trying to get the book to market so people like me could learn from his midnight-oil sessions. I hope that the author does a second book to discuss more advanced topics. My only "problem" with the book was an error (in my humble opinion), where the author confuses the issue of bulk-loading vs. OLTP, and states that, "...indices can actually slow performance and should generally be avoided" pg.188 - I don't expect the author to know everything, so this one I blame on the technical reviewers & editors.
Rating:
Summary: Good introduction to the spec
Review: This book is not half bad. To a lot of Java-programmers the EJB specs will make a lot more sense after reading this. I wouldn't base all my EJB knowledge on this book alone though.
