4.0 out of 5 stars A must have book for how to *use* 1.4, October 7, 2003

By A Customer

For those people who want to know what's coming and how to use J2EE 1.4 then this book is for you. If you're after how to implement J2EE 1.4, then look elsewhere (though I think this book could still be of use).

I came at this after having waded through the current 1.4 spec. and some pretty poor J2EE 1.3 books. It was an eye-opener: the whole structure of the book hit me as being so good - all of the stuff I needed to know about was up front, with more esoteric (for me) work like Web services towards the back. Where were these guys when I needed a good J2EE 1.3 book?!

Since getting it, I've read the book cover-to-cover twice just to make sure I understand some of the more complex issues. The authors definitely know how to put some of these things into context and it was a pleasure to read. A few chapters are a little heavy going, but that's probably just me.

At the moment I can't think of a better book to read on the subject of J2EE and specifically version 1.4. And I've tried quite a few!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to J2EE, occasionally sloppy, August 9, 2004

By	R. Smith (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book because I needed an overview of J2EE technology, and I wanted something with a lot of breadth. With the notable exception of web services, I feel that this book delivered on that promise.

After reading the book, it will still be necessary to read and learn the various technologies in more depth, but the book provides a good roadmap.

The strength of the book is its breadth, covering everything from servlets to EJBs to logging APIs to build tools. Because the book covers so much, it is able to give a sense of how all of these technologies fit together for web application development.

The weakness of the book is its uneven quality. Some sections, such as the one on servlets, are written in great detail, and other sections, such as the one on web services, are simply a consolidation of material from other documents, poorly explained.

My biggest complaint about this book, in the context of it being an overview or roadmap, is that the section on web services is awful. I doubt the author understood much about the technologies in that section because a lot of material is copied from other sources without adequate explanation, and the text has the look of a padded english essay. ("This attribute is another very important part of processing.") In addition, some of the inline editing comments from prepublication are still in the text! ("Deleted, if so WHY?---JG") JG makes a few appearances in the web services chapters. There are also clearly some copy/paste errors in these sections.

Aside from that, there is the occasional poor programming practice, such as classes declared with "extends Object".

On balance, however, the good outweighs the bad, and I am now happily oriented, and ready to learn some of these technologies in more detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on J2EE, October 7, 2003

By	Ram (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews

I'm an independent consultant and have been doing a lot of J2EE work over the years. Now that 1.4 is on the horizon I'm getting lots of questions from my clients and requests to migrate stuff to it. I've looked at other books on the subject, but this is the one that really did it for me: it's well structured, easy to get into and just flows. The authors obviously know their stuff, and by the time I was finished I felt that I did too.

This is without a doubt one of the best books on J2EE architecture I've read and certainly the best one of 1.4.

Don't let the size put you off. You can structure your own way through the chapters if you really need to, leaving out those things that don't concern you immediately. There's a lot of hints and tips as one of the other reviewers mentioned and also many cross-references, so if you miss something to start with 'cause you don't think it's relevant, if the authors do they'll let you know!

A great book at a pretty good price too.
