[Gaurav Pravin Dighe]

Hello,

I want to learn EJB 3.1. Please suggest me some good tutorial/video tutorial for learning EJB 3.1. I have downloaded official javaee6-tutorial from webpage.

But the tutorial seems to be for some one who has some idea about EJB.

Please advice me.

You can try Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 by Bill Burke and Andrew Lee Rubinger.

Hello Lucas,

Thanks for the reply.

I have downloaded the book you just mentioned. i also want to ask, which server should i prefer for learning the EJB and other Java EE concepts, that will help me crack interview of Java EE.
I also want to know, Spring Framework and Web Services is also in demand. Could you please guide me which technology i should learn and concentrate(along with books) for cracking interviews. I have knowledge on below Java Technologies:
1. Core Java
2. Servlet, JSP
3. Hibernate (basics)
4. Struts2
5. Working on Netbeans IDE

Hi,

I think that Spring + Hibernate + Tomcat and EJB + Hibernate + JBoss/Glassfish are quite popular combinations for Java developers.

I encourage you to read about EJB 3.1. After that you will be able to understand transactions which are crucial in enterprise applications. Then, I would go for some book about JPA - Pro JPA2.

I think that Jboss 7.1.1 can be easily configured to start with learning:
