The Developer's Guide to Understanding Enterprise JavaBeans, an overview of EJBs, is available at http://www.Nova-Labs.com.

Core Java: Volume II--Advanced Features by Horstmann and Cornell, Sunsoft Press, has a chapter on RMI. Because RMI provides much of the conceptual foundation for the EJB architecture, this is a valuable chapter to read.
