This book provides some detailed and practical examples of how to use the various java technologies at an enterprise scale, but the presentation is laced with detailed code examples. If you're an experienced java developer and want to learn how to leverage those code skills to enterprise applications, then this is the book for you. If you're looking for an understanding of java technologies and how to deploy them at an enterprise level, this book is probably too detailed. If you can't look at a java class file and understand exactly what's going on, then this probably isn't the book for you.

It is, no doubt an ideal hands-on reference which deals with the various deployment issues. It has clarified nicely the salient points regarding EJBs. Treatment of RMI and other aspects of distributed computing - the hows and whys of it - is in-depth and comprehensive. I anticipate such simple and superb coverage from the author in books to follow on other related topics also.

The book is very well organized and well written. A much-needed reference book for any enterprise java developer. Cuts thru the alphabet-soup and gives real layman explanations to current major Java enterprise APIs. As a suggestion, the authors could in the next edition :- 1)add-in more about JNDI(examples for LDAP querying etc) 2)add-in Jini and Java namespaces technology 3)add-in JAAS with special emphasis on how to authorize users on to NT systems using Java

Congrats for bringing out such a remarkable and outstanding book

When this book arrived I thumbed through it and dismissed it as just a rehash of EJB, Servlets, RMI, etc.. However, I decided to have a look at it and was pleased to discover a concise, clear and practical guide to these Java APIs. More than a rehash, this book is a well-paced tour with excellent examples illustrating the concepts. The author provides the why along with the how at an appropriate depth.

The most in-depth coverage of RMI I've ever seen...this guy sure knows what he is talking about! Explains everything you ever need to know about servlets, including their integration with RMI, JDBC and Applets.

I've been doing some Java, unfortunately not as much as I want. This book was great at explaining everything I wanted to DO after having my feet wet. Don't get it to learn the JDK basics. It was usefull for all of it's dedicated topics (RMI, JDBC, persistence, ...) but not basic things like threads, swing, ... The title is the book. In other words, you have to have a desire for the distributed environment to get the book.

No book is perfect, this one does not have all the examples typed up for you. Just some.

Though I have been involved with enterprise level projects for over ten years it is only lately that I have been associated with java based projects. As a technical architect, I am finding this book extremely useful. It discusses various java based architectures from overview to pros and cons to code in a way that I find very useful. I think adding some real life case studies (maybe in its next edition) would make it even more enjoyable.

While for each of the topics covered in this book, one can easily find a book weighing 5 pounds or more, this book weighs less than two pound, and covers virtually all the advanced topics in Java. The author has successfully condensed just enough detailed information in the least number of pages - my criteria for a serious author. He has achieved "simple, but not simpler". I did find a few errors in the code, which can be detected easily with a compiler; but that doesn't degrade the quality of the book in any sense

Be careful when using this book. Even though the book deals with advanced topics, it only covers them at a high level and does not get into the real issues. The book is also full of errors. There are errors in the text, charts and even in the programming examples. Obviously, the programming example were not even been compiled or run. However, if you are looking for an introduction to several of the Java enterprise technologies, this book is ok.
