The first problem I had to solve was lack of the "Head First EJB 3" book on the market I`ve spent plenty of time searching topics in this forum to find out which is better - o reilly`s "Enterprise Java Beans 3.0 5th" edditions or Manning`s "EJB 3 in Action".

            <description>I have been using EJB 2.1 from a long time and wanted to take up a certification on the same. But the exam now has been phased out, I suppose, as I could not get a link for the same in Sun's site.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If SCBCD 5.0 is the only option now, why isnt there a HFEJB book for the same? Or is it available? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;HFEJB for EJB 2.x, makes learning fun and I would like to know if there is something from Bert &amp; Kathy CO. for SCBCD 5.0</description>

            <description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;I went to one of the famous book stores of Ameerpet,Hyderbad called Rajalakshmi book shop to buy the required books of EJB(Manning 3.0,Headfirst).&lt;br /&gt;I was very much surprised when i saw the books. The guys over there are selling the books by making a xerox of original book. I have noticed it because the paper quality of the books is very cheap and any one can be easily fooled as there are only minor difference in the original copy and the xerox copy. These days we are very much aware that it is possible to a take a xerox of any thing in such a way that it matches the original cent percent. &lt;br /&gt;I just thought of sharing my experience. Please pay attention to these kind of issues and it is our duty not to encourage these stupid ...</description>

            <description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;I read this rule in persistence spec's.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;quote:&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The behavior is unspecified if mapping annotations are applied to both persistent fields and&lt;br /&gt;properties or if the XML descriptor specifies use of different access types within a class hierarchy.&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;that's mean we can't specified the annotation one for field, and the next one for property.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;when we specified the annotation for field need to specified all unfading the annotation at fields.</description>

            <description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I have (finally) decided to go for the SCBCD certification.&lt;br /&gt;I am completely new to EJB technologies, but not to JEE (JSP, JSF, some ADF).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;After going thru some of the posts in this forums, I decided to use OReilly's EJB 3.0 (5th Edition) for my preparation. I also plan to go thru the specs as that proved very useful when preparing for the SCWCD exam.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;While waiting for the book to arrive, I'd like to install an Application Server in order to experiment and practise. The 'problem' is that I am uncertain to which one to use: JBoss, Glassfish, Sun Application server 9.1, Oracle Application Server, Apache Geronimo 2.1 (is it EJB 3.0 compliant?), etc.?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;With SCWCD preparation the choice was ...</description>

            <title>Can you pass SCBCD5.0</title>
            <link>http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&amp;f=70&amp;t=006490</link>
            <description>The plan of preparation for SCBCD 5.0 is:&lt;br /&gt;- EJB3 in Action&lt;br /&gt;- MZ notes&lt;br /&gt;- Enthuware test&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I know it will be good to add Oreilly and Apress books plus specs to the above list. But, I think you can get a pass with the above plan of preparation, Does anyone disagree?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thanks</description>
