Course Title:	EJB 3.0 Fast Track
Course Length:	3 Days
Course Number:	Java111
Delivery:	Instructor-led, On-Site
Audience:	Java developers who want to use EJB3.
Description:	The EJB 3.0 release represents a giant leap forward in the ease-of-use arena when compared to prior releases. This course not only covers traditional EJB concepts such as session and message-driven beans, but also new topics such as the Java Persistence API, Interceptors, and Dependency Injection via annotations. It uses hands-on labs and a well-paced approach to make this complex technology understandable in an accelerated fashion. You will come away with a comprehensive understanding of EJB and the important issues that need to be considered to use it in real world applications.
