The book also features substantially expanded coverage of Enterprise JavaBeans and tells how to get the most out of EJB 2.0 tools and products. Topics of special interest to Java developers include: building a Servlet search engine; creating online stores with Java Server Pages; using transactions with EJBs and JDBC to create N-Tier applications; and selecting the best middleware for your needs.
