Title : Annotations and Dependency Injection in EJB 3.0
Author : DeepakKumarSharma
Date : Fri Feb 20th, 2009

This Article presents two important new features of EJB 3.0 which is bundeled with Java EE 5.0 specification, which are Annotations and Dependency Injection. The solid reason for this artice is , it will give us an idea how these features are used, so on their encounter in other articles of EJB3.0, we can understand their functionality. So we can say learning this article will give us a smooth drive in later other EJB 3.0 core concepts. So now we are going to start to see how Annotations and Dependency Injection has made the life of a developer easier and code more simple and managable.

Title : EJB 3.0 Entity Manager

The EJB 3.0 specifi cation recognizes that many applications have the above persistence needs without requiring the services (security, transactions) of an application server EJB container. Consequently the persistence aspects of EJB 3 have been packaged as a separate specifi cation—the Java Persistence API (JPA). JPA does not assume we have a container and can even be used in a Java SE (Standard Edition) application. As well as persistence, JPA deals with Object/Relational Mapping and Queries, these are covered in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively. Most of our examples assume that the persistence engine exists within an EJB 3 container such as GlassFish or JBoss. In Chapter 6 we shall show examples of persistence outside a container.

Title : JPA in NetBeans 6.1

Date : Mon Jul 28th, 2008

In this article we will see how to use Java Persistence API (JPA) in NetBeans 6.1 with in a Java application. The JPA was first introduced as part of the Java EE 5 platform. This article will not provide any of the theoretical information about JPA.

Title : EJB 3.0 and WebServices
Author : Raja
Date : Thu Jul 24th, 2008

This article discusses how an enterprise bean can act as a Web-Service component. Since Web-Services itself is a vast technology, the first part of the article discusses more about Web-Services. Specifically, the first part of the article discusses what Web-Services are, its unique features among other related technologies, its architecture, and the various base components upon which Web- Services are built. The second part of the article describes the JSR-181 which is the �Web-Services Meta-data for the Java Platform� and how enterprise beans can make use of the API�s available under this JSR to expose themselves as Web-Services components.

Title : Hibernate Vs EJB 3.0
Author : Ramaswamy
Date : Thu Apr 10th, 2008

The J2EE field is agog with excitement about a very popular open-source technology , Hibernate , being elevated to the status of JCP standard. Feedback from J2EE programmers in industry says that knowledge of Hibernate is mandatory for all J2EE aspirants. In this short tutorial , the author attempts to trace the reasons for this new trend and to alert us , to the imminent and dramatic changes in the J2EE landscape.

Title : Introduction to Java Persistence API(JPA)
Author : Raja
Date : Fri Apr 13th, 2007

Java Persistence API (JPA) provides POJO (Plain Old Java Object) standard and object relational mapping (OR mapping) for data persistence among applications. Persistence, which deals with storing and retrieving of application data, can now be programmed with Java Persistence API starting from EJB 3.0 as a result of JSR 220. This API has borrowed many of the concepts and standards from leading persistence frameworks like Toplink (from Oracle) and Hibernate (from JBoss). One of the great benefits of JPA is that it is an independent API and can nicely integrate with J2EE as well as J2SE applications.

Title : EJB 3.0 Timer Services - An Overview
Author : Raja
Date : Wed Mar 28th, 2007

Starting from EJB 2.1, Timer Services are available for building J2EE Applications that depends on time based services. Time based services are mostly used in scheduling applications. Technically, these scheduling applications are called workflows. A workflow defines a configurable sequence of activities or tasks that will take place at a particular point of time. Before EJB 2.1, one has to manually code for building and deploying time-based workflow systems. But, with the invent of EJB 3.0, thanks to Annotations and Dependency injections, life has become still more easier for creating such applications.
