The book relies on examples to make their point, but few examples are illustrated in the book. It relies rely on the included CD for source code. If you don't see the source, you won't understand the book.
If that wasn't bad enough, the examples require the Sun Application server to see the code and behavior. I've been muscling the examples into Eclipse and Tomcat to view, which works, but it has been a big hassle when I really want to learn the concepts. It is a barrier to learning ... Read More

J2EE Connector Architecture (controversially abbreviated as JCA) is arguably one among the best JSRs created at JCP. This JSR defines a standard plug ability architecture using which various Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) can be integrated into a J2EE server. An EIS can be thought of as any resource that is outside a J2EE app, and that begs to be integrated into the larger architecture of the platform. Example: Legacy apps, SAP, mainframe apps etc...
Rating: - A J2EE Tutorial for those who already know J2ee
J2EE is such a mess that it's not surprising it's hard
to describe, but this book is full of forward references,
vague terminology, and non-definitive definitions.
For example, one page 491,
"The Web container evaluates a variable that appears in an
expression by looking up its value according to the behavior
of PageContext.findAttribute(String)".
This sentence leaves open the following questions:
Rating: - Not a good book for JCA
I was only interested in the first part of the title, J2EE Connector Architecture. It really did not cover J2EE Connector Architecture that well and the coverage was very small. As far as the rest of the book, well, your mileage will vary. This book is probably better for a person that is new to java.
Rating: - Excellent book for the bignners in J2EE
I red this book. It is excellent one for people who start learing J2EE. There are two applications are used in this book either using ejb+jsp or webservices+jsp so you can read according to what you would like to learn if you want the topic ejb+jsp so you read chapters(1,2,3,11-16,30-34,36) and if you would like to learn webservices+jsp so you have to read the chapters (1-21).
