Summary: Best Easy and Understandable Book
Comment: You know i have been in IT not since long, before i started this book many of my concept's were not clear about EJB3.
after reading this book, you will get to know the status of current technolgie's are.
it almost cover's all concept's related to ejb3 and side by side, it also introduces you to other competing technolgies.
well it's language is too easy, all the chapter's do have a easy language.
well i do enjoy to read this book.
i am learning EJB 3 and the Java Persistence API in an easy manner and without difficulty. For novices to EJB, this book provides a rock-solid foundation to EJB. For developers moving to EJB 3 from EJB 2, this book addresses the changes both in the EJB 3 API and JPA. This book is ideally suited for Java developers with a couple of years' experience who are interested in EJB 3.

Summary: Master piece
Comment: This book has got lot of potential if you are new to the EJB 3. This book would lay very nice foundation on ejb 3 concepts. This is more of HF style, easy to understand. I have used this book to prepare for my EJB 3 certification and I am gald that I used this one.

Summary: Tedious
Comment: I'm about to discuss the fact that this book is very tedious and lightweight.
This book is very tedious and lightweight. Everything (and I mean everything) in this book is foreshadowed with a comment about what they're about to say followed by a recap of what they said. Worse is the fact that the intervening material is frequently very shallow and cursory.
That concludes my brief discussion of how tedious and lightweight this book is. Next, I'll comment about how long it takes the authors to get to the point.
Earlier comments about this being a 100 page book expanded into some 600 pages are a slight exaggeration. But I'd bet good money that even I could compress the first 70 pages of this book into 7. That concludes my brief discussion of how long it takes the authors to get to the point.
Etc... Etc...
I recommend that you buy a different book. I will.

Summary: Simply better than the others
Comment: My company's library basically gives me access to all books I want, so I used to have a big stack of big EJB3 books on my desk. But during 2 months of daily work with EJB3 I often found this book helpful where others weren't and almost never found it the other way 'round. Only exception: Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 (5th Edition) That book sometimes just has a broader coverage, delivering details that "EJB3 in Action" doesn't. But still, "EJB3 in Action" remains the best-understandable EJB3 book with (almost) the best coverage of topics. I have now returned all other books than the 2 mentioned here to the library, and I always look in this book first.
While I agree with Rob on the language issue, what counts is the result, and that is usually the best with this book.

Summary: The best EJB 3 book out there...
Comment: I was not that enthusiastic about EJB at all during the EJB 2 era. Then I knew about the EJB 3 specifications and that made me read this book. I have to admit that after reading the book I became very much interested in EJB 3 mainly because of its removal of legacy EJB2 boilerplate mechanisms and the introduction of "Spring" like features. The book is very cleverly written and easy to read. The authors make every effort to make the readers completely engaged on the topic. Although I don't use EJB3 for my day to day work, this book clearly gave me new perspectives on how Java EE is driven going forward.
