Great book—covers everything relating to EJB 3.

Well-written, easy, and fun.

Patrick Dennis, Management Dynamics Inc.

Written with a wide audience in mind ... not just a recitation of the EJB specification ... includes a lot of practical advice. Has a light, humorous, and accessible style of writing and all the concepts are illustrated with examples.

One Minute Review from javalobby.org

Broad coverage of EJB 3 with a very simple and excellently crafted case study. The book starts lightly on this complex subject and slowly dives into the details of advanced concepts like interceptors, transactions, security, JPA, and performance issues, developing each scenario in the case study. Overall, a very good book and a very smooth read.
