Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Decent, but not what I expected...
After reading the synopsis I was ready to delve into some planning and best practices reading material. While the book focuses on a core example, it doesn't not provide enough information on WHY certain decisions were made and does not provide enough look into alternatives.
The book would be much more valuable if it focused less on one concrete example and took a step upwards into what I mistook the synopsis and title for: "Making Strategic and Technology/Business-Driven Decisions ... Read More
Rating:  - Great overview
This book will not teach you all the nitty gritty of J2EE. It will, however, explain when to use what part of the APIs. It goes through a lot of the different parts of J2EE.
For me it was a good overview. I started coding J2EE by going in deep from the start. If this book would've been available when I was learning the technology, my path to understanding it all would've been shorter.
I especially liked the way the author builds the different elements together to construct a ... Read More
Rating: - Good for getting started w/ J2EE, BUT TOO MANY ERRORS
I've often seen complaints about O'Reilly's editing in reviews like this. Now I know what all those folks are complaining about. The diagrams and examples in this book are just plain *BAD*. In the section on DB design I don't think there wasn't one ER diagram with out MULTIPLE errors. Where's the quality control? I would have given 4 stars if the diagrams and examples were corrct.
The textual content of the book is actually pretty good, easy to read, but a little slow paced for me. I was ... Read More
Rating:  - another lousy manpage reprint from ORA
This is yet another one of ORA's buzzword books with next to no original content.
If you want a decent book on J2EE, check out the offerings from Manning Press, Addison-Wesley, or Wrox. At least those companies actually edit their books, and see if the printed examples work.
Rating: - Extremely disappointing
I was extremely disappointed by this book. I thought it was a book about how to architect Java applications. It is not. While I appreciate the book's goal of providing practical examples, it is nothing but an example of building one particular application. It's not much more than a tutorial. I want a book of principles, guidelines, best practices for building Java applications - a series of general principles that I can apply to any situation. O'Reilly books are normally great; I bought this book ... Read More
