EJB 3.0

I have had the opportunity to learn how to use EJB 3.0. I am currently the TA for a distributed systems class taught by Dr. Phil Windley. We decided to go with EJB 3.0 not only to try it out but to see how much better it would be for the class. I must say that EJB 3.0 is a lot better than the previous EJBs.

When I took the class I remember the hours I spent getting the deployment descriptors right and learning how to use tools to make the job easier. With EJB 3.0, it has simplified how EJBs are written. Using EJB 3.0 allows for quicker and more efficient development in the use of Java annotations.

For anyone interested in learning how EJB 3.0 works I would suggest the EBJ 3.0 Trailblazer Tutorial by the JBoss group. The tutorial takes you through EJB 3.0 step by step in an easy to follow manner. By far the best tutorial I have found thus far.
