—Nido Qubein

In This Chapter

  • Introduction to EJB

  • Understanding EJB Roles

This chapter is a quick overview of Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) and their role in J2EE-based business applications. Components of an application EJB will be the primary clients of resource adapters, and hence resource adapter developers need to understand the dynamics of EJB.
