Features: This book is part of the IBM Red Book series, detailing how to effectively use WebSphere Studio Application Developer to develop applications based on the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) architecture, as well as deploying these applications to WebSphere Application Server. The book is based on a simple banking application, using a basic relational database and providing relevant examples. Part I of the book treats EJB as part of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), covering fundamental concepts and architecture. It specifically highlights the new features introduced in the EJB 2.0 specification, such as enhanced container-managed persistence for entity beans and message-driven beans. It also provides best practice guidelines for the implementation of EJBs. Part II introduces the banking application example and implements entity beans, session beans, and message-driven beans using WebSphere Studio Application Developer. It also implements finder methods, different mapping strategies, and simple EJB clients. Finally, it describes how to deploy EJB applications to WebSphere Application Server.
