"BEST! But not today, of course"

Best! It does not cover EJB3, as it's outdated, but few years ago it was great! Not sure if there is 2nd or 3rd editions, probably they are more updated, but the one I read was about EJB, which is an interesting technology but so terribly heavy-weight, led in raise of Spring framework, etc. (I am getting into history now, sorry!.. ;-)
Had high hopes for the book, with cartoons and all. But they got into lots of agonizingly boring technical detail without putting it into a clear context. The explanations could have been much clearer by providing that context.
"Valuable even if you want to use EJB 3.0"

This book helped me to understand what is enterprise how they fit together how to create EJB 2.0 actually it let you have a strong understanding of J2EE concepst.the authors are very experienced and their books are really the best and should be best ev er selling
"Outdated but still good for EJB 2.X folks out there"
This was a great book for me, ( had to use wrath of EJB 2.1 in several projects =( ). So when EJB 3 came out and i went through EJB 3 ( via Oreilly's book ) i was amazed, pleased and overjoyed.
The new Exam covers EJB3. However if you are still planning to give EJB 2.X exam, this is BEST book you'll buy. It guides you step by step towards steep learning curve that EJB comes with and makes it real easy to remember things.
I am usually critical of Head First "Kids" like format, but this book justifies that because of the subject being such. EJB 2.x deserved this kind of book, where one go one step at a time to understand things.
Book Covers :
1. ) Transaction Management
2. ) All kinds of Beans ( what you do, what container does etc etc. )
What it does not Cover :
1.) EJB 3
2.) Deployment to JBOSS container ( these days with EJB 3 more and more people are adopting JBOSS AS ), neither does it cover deployment specifics of Websphere. ( And in reality Why should it ever do that? this book is only for certification etc. )
If you want to earn SCBCD ( old one ) or if you are working for EJB 2.X project, do yourself the favor of buying this book
This book is out-of date. It does not cover EJB 3 which is the current paradigm. For EJB 1 & 2 it is a good book, but these are not used. If you are preparing for SCBCD this is not the book to use
This is a absolutely easy going book. You can read it for hours and not feel any stress. The methods they have used are so good that you will never forget the concepts.
