How to start with EJB3 and JBoss?

Question

I would like to get into ejb3 to get some practice in writing. I searched for textbooks and instructions, but could find some flaws of useless information.

I am looking for a tutorial or walkthrough that will help me from the very beginning (what software do I need to install?) To write "Hello World" for EJB3 with JBoss.

In short - where to start?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It would be wise to start with JBoss Seam, as this is an easy introduction to EJB3 (and JSF). Look at the Getting Started page.

Answer 2

EJB in action is a big book

Answer 3

How about a JBoss EJB3 tutorial - http://docs.jboss.org/ejb3/app-server/tutorial/

Answer 4

Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0, fifth edition is a great book that helped me a lot. He also has a JBoss book as auth = or as one of the leading JBoss developers.

Answer 5

I would recommend the EJB 3 tutorial in laliluna. That was my point of view for EJB 3 2 years ago.

It uses MyEclipse, which is a commercial product. However, you can still use the Eclipse or JBoss IDE.
