Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is an application development platform for building robust enterprise systems. J2EE includes numerous Java APIs and tools including Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaServer Pages, and Servlets. Developers looking to leverage this complex platform need guidance not only on the features of each tool, but on using them together to create real-world systems.
J2EE Developer's Handbook provides both -- discussing the tools in the context of practical J2EE applications which demonstrate every aspect of J2EE development. In the Spring of 2003, Sun will relase J2EE 1.4 which includes numerous updates and new features such as JSP 2.0, EJB 2.1, and new APIs for creating J2EE Web Services and using the J2EE Connector Architecture.

Rating: - Not as good as expected
It worth as an overview of J2EE. But people who want to first step the product should try other stuff. The book is poor about examples and verbosy about business.
Rating: - Great book but watch the seller you buy it from
The book is excellent for J2EE fundamentals and hands-on learning. It goes beyond just the basics and gives details about every thing you need to know about the J2EE specifications.
My only concern is whom you buy it from.
Please do NOT buy it from goodtimemobilebookfair and other rogue sellers who claim to be big shots in the e-market. After I received my book for mr. goodtimemobilebookfair, i noticed it did not have appendices as mentioned in the table of contents. The ... Read More
Rating: - One of the good books with great examples
This book covers a large number of j2ee apis in a coherent manner. It is a good reference book for every day use. Some parts of the book out dated with respected to technologies progress from it's publishing. The real life examples with oracle, weblogic, j2ee RI server is great help.
Rating: - Favorite J2EE book
This is my reference book that I liked most for J2EE. It describes all of the J2EE parts in alot of detail. It is different by having UML diagrams that describe each J2EE part then the author describes the J2EE part that the diagram shows. This makes it easy to understand that J2EE part. Also has code examples to run and in the book. Every J2EE part is covered like EJb, sevlets, Web services, JAXR, JMS, and on. They are able to cover this because the book is biggest one I have with almost 1500 pages. ... Read More
Rating: - Not for beginers!
This book fails to actually teach anything. The author goes into long drawn out paragraphs and fails to say much. If you don't know J2EE, stay away from this book! If you are not great at J2EE and want to get better, don't buy this book! Only buy this if you want a refrence book, but it's not even good for that, IMO.
