1. Yes, I would agree that the content is not much more than what is available online.
2. Yes, I would agree that the content is somewhat cursory.
Re 1. I can't stand following along with online tutorials. I like having a book that I can review in comfort.
Re 2. I was not lookng for a book on how to implement J2EE, I was looking for an introductory guide to JDeveloper and specifically getting started with ADF.

I found the book useful as it provided good J2EE grounding to get me on my way with what is a very complex subject. The changed version from the version used is a minus for the book. However using the source code available on the book's official page made using the book simple and useful.
If you a beginner / intermediate level j2ee and jdeveloper user, I think this book will be very useful. If you are already a J2EE expert, then this might be a little on the simpler side.
