[shabarish vai]

hi all ,

is Annotations necessary for SCBCD latest version? as i dont know anything about annotations please guide me as i have purchased head first ejb and planning to prepare and appear for that exam

[Alexey Saenko]

yes, annotations are necessary for 310-091 exam. I think it would be useful for to read "ejb3 in action"

[Tim Storms]

You should not read the Head First EJB book. It only covers EJB 2.1! EJB3 in action is a fine suggestion indeed.

hi all,

i dont know anything about annnotations,how should i start up with annotations,when i googled i found annotations in xml,hibernate and in java.what is all about annotations.

[Christophe Verré]

You'll find some explanations in this guide. But since you have to learn almost everything from scratch, you'd better buy a book like EJB3 In Action.

so EJB3 In Action will tell me about annotations too,so that further studying will be easy?(i mean understanding the concepts about ejb)

[Christophe Verré]

Yes.

so shall i buy EJB3 In Action? was it not worth buying head first? what should i do now

Yes, you should buy EJB3 In Action, or any other recommended books listed at ScbcdLinks. Head First EJB is for the old SCBCD1.3 (EJB2.x). You really really need a new book about EJB3.0.
