As several reviewers have already pointed out, this book doesn't get into the details of Java programming with Oracle. This book is really a vague overview of Java beans and messaging. You're better of buying a book that specifically covers JDBC programming.

I bought this book and the Oracle Press book "Oracle9i JDBC Programming" which covers similar material. The "Oracle9i JDBC Programming" book is much better.

After reading this book, I felt that JDBC and SQLJ really should have been covered in depth. The problem with this book is that the core topics of EJB programming are covered in better books like the O'Reilly EJB programming book.

You'd be better off buying a book that focusses in on JDBC and SQLJ programming with Oracle - that's where the real guts of Java programming with Oracle is.

This book is an excellent guide to the complex topics of J2EE applications. It covers the strongest features of the app server from "Beans" to Web Services.

Having been on Oracle review committee for the last 2 yrs i find this book very easy to read. It is detailed in explanation and examples and references are precise. I would say that the book is really written to promote all the standards and features as stipulated and i would highly recommend this book.

The Oracle9i JDBC Programming book is better.

As an experienced programmer i find this book as a very easy source of reference. Explanations and references of example codes are well written. The information flow is focused on each topic and therefore makes the reading very easy.
