Title: A great book ---by a Don Box of the Java world.
Review: I come from the Microsoft world with a heavy background of COM ,MTS and COM+. After reading Ed Roman's book I found myself come upto speed with EJB and in only a couple of days I was writing and deploying my first entity beans. The author does a marvellous job of presenting the material in the book. The text is plain, straightforward and unambiguous, concise yet exhaustive and is written keeping both the practical and thoretical aspects of transactional programming in mind. So if you are looking for a book which presents both the nitty gritty details of this potentially complicated topic along with providing a hands down programming approach, then look no further. It's really hard to write books like these.
