Hi Kathy

Why on earth you guys didn't give more practical examples in you Head First EJB book, Only full example given is Advice Bean that's it, what's the point , Even after completing the exam successfully we dont get any practical experience.
For example:
EJB-QL is explained in detail in the book, no worries, But there's no information given
how to specify EJB-QL in the DD( using <query> element - nothing specified about this element ). what's the point of learning EJB-QL, without knowing how to apply it & the exam expect for us to know how to specify these queries in the DD. I have no idea where to put this <query> element in the DD & how to specify these queries which is a responsibility of Bean Provider.
I'm not blaming u Kathy , I think you should improve this book by adding some more pratical examples & giving things which are missing & which are required for exam.

regards
Mahela

For example the missing last chapter they promised about in the last paragraph to the left at page 66

By the way, is your new patterns book about that type of patterns? That is, patterns for J2EE like them you included in the last chaper of your Servlets & JSP book. Would it be a good idea to read your new patterns book as well before the SCBCD exam? Or is your new patterns book about patterns more in general?
