Primarily written for developers who know basic Java and want to pass the Sun Certified Business Component Developer exam CX-310-090, this study kit shows how to use EJB in developing enterprise applications. With the popularity of J2EE in the enterprise, SCBCD certification is an important credential for an EJB developer to earn. Focused on the exam objectives, the content goes beyond simply "exam-cram". More than 130 review questions with answers distributed over all chapters and an Exam's Eye View section at the end of each chapter that emphasizes the important points in the chapter from the exam's perspective are provided. A demo on how to install the necessary software, write a simple bean, deploy the bean, and execute it is given; and an accompanying CD-ROM includes a simulated exam modeled after the real exam.
