Product Description
J2EE Unleashed presents techniques and examples for building applications based on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition development model. The goal of this book is not to teach the J2EE specification but to illustrate the best practices for developing J2EE applications. It will cover the most commonly used J2EE API's as well as migration techniques that can be used to port a J2EE application from one platform to another.
The book will discuss all of these platforms with an emphasis on the SilverStream application server, which is J2EE compliant and certified for Windows and several UNIX platforms. Moreover, the book will illustrate how a J2EE application can interface with most SQL based DBMS platforms including ORACLE, INFORMIX, Microsoft SQL Server 7, SYBASE, IBM DB2 as well as others.

Average Rating:
Rating: - Not for Beginners
In my opinion, this may be a good reference book if you already know
J2EE, but it is not a good book for learning J2EE.
In general, this book talks about J2EE concepts, but it does not teach
them.
All too often, the authors explain concepts in terms of concepts that
they have not explained. In many cases, they don't give useful
examples or illustrations in their explanations. Thus, in order to
follow many of their explanations, ... Read More
Rating: - Good coverage but is lacking
I'm working on a web services project using Java and purchased this book. There wasn't any coverage on web services. I supplimented this title with Java, The Complete Reference that covers web servers. Otherwise, this book is OK
Rating: - Good introduction to J2EE architecture
"J2EE Unleashed" covers the major aspects of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition. The three main pieces (servlets, JSPs, and EJBs) are each well covered with good examples. JNDI, JDBC, JavaMail and JMS are each given a chapter and XML is also covered. The strength of the book, though, is its coverage of designing J2EE architectures. For example, servlets are explained but then the authors go beyond the explanation to show how servlets fit into an overall J2EE architecture. Model 2 controller architecture ... Read More
Rating: - It Could Be Better
The book is written with a good outline on each subject, however, it does not follow-up the same for each subject. For example, the section on JavaMail is good with multiple examples (except for a serious error in one of those examples). While they somewhat duplicate the examples in that chapter with a few variations, another chapter in the book will have much less supporting information. What I would criticize most about this book is the level of information written on each subject differs between ... Read More
Rating: - If only we had more development books like this!!!!
The net boom has messed with the Software Development Life Cycle in that application development preparedness has gone out the window. This book is that lasso that brings it all back into the stable when developing Java applications. As should be done prior to jumping in and coding away feverishly w/o a goal, J2EE Unleashed prepares you and walks you through the proper steps prior to Java development, then through the life cycle of an application. I've been a developer for eight years now and can ... Read More
