Fourth Edition.
The fourth edition of this best-selling book has been updated to give Java developers a thorough introduction to version 2.1 of the EJB Specification. With significant changes from the earlier version, this latest EJB specification extends its support for web services and the Java Web Services APIs, expands its asynchronous messaging support, adds XML Schema for deployment descriptors, and introduces a new Timer service, which allows for scheduling EJB jobs.
Through its adept coverage of these improvements, Enterprise JavaBeans again demonstrates why Java Developer's Journal voted this the "Best Java Book", and why readers of JavaPro named it the "Best Java Book for Experts".
