Negative Positive
Title: A real Sun book on Java
Review: Reading this book is not a very pleasant experience. There are so many typos that I actually stopped reading after 1/3 of the book. I really do not understand how Sun can publish such a book.A little technical note (to justify the title). It does not really teach you great (or even average) insights into EJBs. No real techy info on what the consequences are of using CMP vs BMP (only info from the spec),...It basically is just a rehash of the spec. The examples are for the Sun reference implementation, which would not be that bad if it wasn't half of every chapter (I want to learn EJB not a how to use a reference implementation which is not made for running in production!). All the advantages of EJBs are straight from the Sun EJB marketing book.O yes one plus: it does mention EJB patterns.
Is the review positive or negative?
