EJB 3 in Action is not exactly Head First Style. It is not exam oriented, but it is good introductory book. To clear the fundamentals this book is really good.
When you say 1, are you referring O'reilly. Let me know.

As far as the SCBCD 5 exam is concerned, do we need to refer Pro EJB 3: Java Persistence API (Pro) for Persistence. Is it not sufficient if we just read O'reilly? Is Persistence not covered in O'reilly? Let me know.

The Pro EJB 3 covers Java Persistence in a greater detail. So better grab a copy of it and start your preparation on Entities.

I agree with MZ. I used the Oreilly EJB 3 book for the exam. But I heard EJB 3 In Action is a very good introductory book to EJB 3. (which is probably why MZ said it's close to HF style)

I only used the Oreilly book and got good marks in persistence. The Oreilly book has several chapters devoted to JPA. But it might be worth noting that I have a little background with Hibernate so that probably helped also.

I heard that head first ejb is dated and it's not for ejb 3.0
It seems we won't have a new release of Head First EJB for a while.

Hi pcresta-
Unfortunately, there's not a new release of Head First EJB planned. It's something we want - which is why Chris saw it in our internal databases - but not something we've been able to find authors for. Because EJB 3.0 changed so drastically from EJB 2.0, it's not as much a revision as, in many respects, an entirely new book. And Bert Bates and Kathy Sierra have become too busy with several other projects (including the recently-released Head First Servlets, 2nd edition) to invest the time into a new edition of EJB. All that said, we are actively looking for EJB authors, and it's a book that we'd like very much to sign. I know that's not a terribly exciting or encouraging answer, but I wanted to be up-front. And anyone out there dying to get into the Head First family, EJB would be a great title to propose and audition for! Check out the Write For Us link at http://www.headfirstlabs.com.
If you're thinking of buying the Pro EJB 3 book, then try visiting the Apress daily deal site NOW and you can get it for just $10 (only within the 24-hour period).
More details here. [ April 12, 2008: Message edited by: Paul Michael ]

Usually I prefer O'Reilly books, and don't like In Action series of books. Apress has also a lot of very good books.
