Solid, reasonably sized and organized guide on java applications for enterprise. Was helpful on general orientation and a number of lookups.

Don't think of it as of the last book you'll need to buy. Just like a map of MA won't be of much help to find your way thru downtown Boston, it should be supplemented later by more detailed information.

However, you'll find Boston very quickly.

On the minus side - author is not always precise in code samples. Not a big deal, though.

A book that wants to cover all aspects of the software life cycle and every java api and internet protocol and databases and transactions and so on it goes. The author should have narrowed his list of things to talk about down from 100 or more to just a few and then focused on those. A classic authoring mistake.

There are a few (small) good expositions (security and RMI for example) but these form no more than a few discussion papers and they carry the baggage of the rest of this weighty tome.

Those with expertise in aspects of the life cycle will find much to disagree with as would those with expertise in locking and concurrency control for database applications; and so on it goes.

The breadth of the content thus makes it impossible to put the content within the context of satisfying the book's title. The reader is left with much to do to piece together the sections on those apis and technologies they are using for their own "advanced enterprise application! development".

A disappointing and fatally flawed book.

I thought that this book was a good source of information on certain aspects of Java which generally aren't well documented or well understood. Specifically, the sections on Enterprise Java Beans and Security were of the most value to me.

Overall, this book seems to me to be a good reference handbook for those folks who are relatively new to Java but are working on middle to large-size business systems that use Java. In that regard, the book succeeds quite well. However, if you're looking for information geared to building simple applications this book is overkill.

A great resource for the advanced java developer who is involved in creating a distributed architecture, but doesn't have the time to read all the newsgroups.

This book has saved me countless hours of searching for answers to the problems encountered when dealing with new concepts and technologies.

I found this book trying to teach to much. The example are to few and to small

Excellent book for the advanced developer. Mr. Bergs examples on Java security and encryption are clear and concise. I can't wait to put the concepts from the book into practice at work.

A little about everything and a lot about nothing.

Gosh Cliff you got it done...so this is what you do in your spare time...:)
