It is good introduction to ejb, however a free cookbook for the Sun Reference implementation would be natural. Many deployment problems arise as early as in chapter 4, and it is not fair, that you have to buy another book before you can run the examples, which sustain the theory in the book. The mixture of ejb 1.1 and 2.0 is also potentially dangerous, the reader has at all to time to be aware of that is 1.1 or 2.0. Cookbook codes seems to have been written for 2.0 soley.


Another thing is the obvious errors in the book, just to mention an example: The books writes about a CabinPK class, and even shows the package placement in fig. 4-2, but there is the code for class? Not found in the free cookbooks or in the book.
