A sneak preview at Sun's Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) Developer's Guide, covering the key features of enterprise bean development. This developer's guide will provide information and code examples on creating several types of enterprise beans, as well as details on using features provided by EJB containers and the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE).
* EJBNow.com
EJBNow is the home page of Richard Monson-Haefel, author of the O'Reilly book "Enterprise JavaBeans". It has a lot of coding tips, links, and articles that EJB developers have found useful.
* Create forward-compatible beans in EJB
How to write EJB 1.0 beans to port to EJB 1.1 servers. Enterprise JavaBeans has undergone several changes in its new 1.1 version. Many of the changes hinder the forward compatibility of beans originally developed for EJB 1.0 containers. In other words, beans developed for EJB 1.0 will not work in EJB 1.1 containers. This article is the first in a two-part series that provides strategies to ease such forward compatibility and ensure that your beans port smoothly to the EJB 1.1 platform.
* Create forward-compatible beans in EJB, Part 2
More key strategies for developing portable EJB 1.0 beans for EJB 1.1 servers This second installment addresses security issues, changes specific to entity beans, and changes to the deployment descriptor.
* EJB Design Patterns
A collection of references to pages about Enterprise Java Beans at the PortlandPatternRepository.

The appropriate design of entity beans — especially when they are backed by a relational database — is the subject of ongoing debate. So how do you provide a performance-enhancing remote interface to a set of dependent, persistent objects within an EJB system? An article from Software Development magazine April 2000 by Craig Larman.
* Book: Enterprise Javabeans (2nd Edition)

* Some qualification criteria for moving to EJBs
When and whether to use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) is one of the more vexing questions that a project team can face today, given the current state of the technology. To help you make these decisions, Kyle Brown and Lee Cook from IBM developerWorks provide some questions that you can ask if you are considering moving to EJBs from other technologies, or considering a new project that might use EJBs. They also compare two projects that used EJBs and see how they have been properly, and improperly, applied in practice.

* Read all about EJB 2.0
Dramatic EJB 2.0 changes enhance flexibility and portability in your application development
More than a new point release, the new EJB 2.0 specification embodies dramatic changes, including those found in the CMP component model and a new bean type, that enhance the flexibility and portability in your application development. Be one of the first to learn the capabilities of that new spec, released as a public draft this month.
* Percolator
Percolator is a toolbox when developing EJB based data layers. Some of its components may be used for other activities, but the main target of Percolator is to be used in an architecture where not only the presentation layer is separate from the business layer (i.e. 3 tier solutions), but where the presentation layer, the application layer and the data layer are clearly separated. It contains a tool for generating a predefined framework for an entity, an abstract framework and an EJB Query Service (EQS). The generation tool and and the EJB Query Service may be used independent of each other.
* EJBMaker
IBM's EJBMaker is a tool for EJB developers writing applications for the WebSphere application server environment. The tool automatically generates source for CMP entity beans from a bean descriptor file written in XML, plus scripts used to create the required bean persistence tables in DB2.
Some of the features include the ability to specify relationships between beans, and being able to quickly initialize a bean or extracts data from a bean using XML.
* Understanding J2EE Application Server Class Loading Architectures
This article helps J2EE developers better understand the class loading architectures of a variety of application servers and how the components of a particular J2EE application are loaded. Armed with this information, J2EE developers can design portable J2EE packaging structures or at least understand the tradeoffs when using proprietary techniques.
