5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book - Must have for any 8.1 project, January 24, 2004

By A Customer

I have been on 3 projects now using WebLogic 8.1 and have been struggling to find out the changes. This book is great. It tells me everything I need to know.

I recommend this book more for a reference book rather then a tutorial or guide on learning WebLogic chapter by chapter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for developers needing examples..., December 14, 2003

By A Customer

1444 pages of bits and pieces of how to create and deploy on Web Logic 8.1. Absolutley no cohesive transition of how to create and deploy even a simple J2EE application. The book will explain piece parts very well such as the XML descriptors and each J2EE API. But if you want to try out web logic and create an application quick and easy, this book is definately not for the beginner....

5.0 out of 5 stars Good content - covers a lot of detail, March 10, 2004

By A Customer

This book really covers a lot of detail. It is really good and amongst the most accurate books that I have read technically.

The style however does not flow very well (probably because it has several authors) - but if you can get past that, it has tons of good content.
