Rating:  - The title should be: "Stop reinventing the wheel"
When we learn and start programming we're attempted to write code to solve any problem without find to know if that is the best way. No matter if the code is about 3,000 or 300 lines, which matter is if you could solve the customer's problem. But a lot of problems were solved by experienced programmers and software architects and they have documented these problems for us. So, if somebody wrote tested-good-code, why we'll "reinvent the wheel"? My opinion is: study the progrmming language, try to write and solve a lot of problemns, and than study this book. After read you'll have much more skills to solve problems in shorter time. I recommend for intermediate through advenced programmers.
Rating:  - keep this book handy
This book should be on the desk of every J2EE architect. Not sure if some of the design patterns still apply for JEE5. We'll just have to see in the next edition.
Rating: - Solid book on Java Enterprise architecture
It is a MUST-HAVE J2EE architect/developer book. It provides the most important and relevant patterns in J2EE design and development based on Gang of Four. The architecture guidance and best practices described are very valuable.
This book needs an update for Java EE 5. Not sure, those updates are posted on their web site.
Rating: - A must have for J2EE architects
I bought this book for preparing for SUn Certfied Enterprise Architect assignment( part II). I am very happy with this book. It gives examples for all J2EE patterns in a very lucid way and this book has helped me a lot.
Rating: - This is the most important and comprehensive J2EE design pattern book
Do you know GoF ? Do you know basic 14 design patterns ? Do you know Java ? Do you know J2EE ? Do you know EJB ? Are you an architect of Java based applications ? OK. But if you do not know the book Core J2EE Patterns you are not taking designing and implementation of J2EE applications seriously. The book describes all the details, consequences and other aspects of J2EE design patterns. I recommend to read book sequentially and to make a lot of bookmarks and lot of skips into related links in the book.
You get clear picture of overall architecture possibilities in J2EE world. Also thanks to this book I became a certified architect.
