preparing for SCBCD

[Hanna Habashy]

hi:
I don't have any experience with EJB, but I have some experience with Servlet and JSP. Can I do SCBCD before SCWCD?
I am planning to do both, but there is no current books for SCWCD, So I want to use the time instead of waiting.
thanks

Yes. You can do that. In fact understading EJBs are not very difficult. Even I'm writing BCD after SCJP. Initially I thought of preparing for WCD, but I'm interested in BCD. Hence I started. You startup with HFE for certification, but general understanding purpose better u go thru Ed Roman book. Understanding basics are easy, more concentration required on Transactions, Security, Relations etc.

This is time to start. Best of luck.

Any suggestion from others?

i just saw a friend of mine using a small utility which creates the ejb files and xml file,we only have to enter the required names and specifications via a gui.if things are that simple, what is the need for anyone to do SCBCD?what will be its value and use in the industry?will we work on such tools?

More and more IDEs support J2EE developement and deployment. They provide user-friendly tools for developers to write and deploy J2EE applications, like WSAD.

if things are that simple, what is the need for anyone to do SCBCD?

Development and deployment did become simpler if we use those IDE utility, however, how about the logic and EJB rules? We are not only need to deploy the EAR file, and configure the XML file, we also need to write the business logic in EJB, define the security and transaction types, link up other resources or EJBs! This is the core part! Deployment is only a small subset for SCBCD.

what will be its value and use in the industry?will we work on such tools?

The value is you know what going on, instead of just using all things that generated by the IDE, and those automated processes.
