Summary: A bookshelf must have
Comment: I work for a company that does a lot of inhouse software development and was tasked with finding the best book on J2EE 1.4. After reading half a dozen I came across this one and stopped: the authors are "movers and shakers" in the industry, have a wealth of experience in and around J2EE, and have the uncanny ability to translate that experience to good text.
The examples, code samples and diagrams are all well thought out. The structuring of the book has also been well done, though perhaps a few of the more advanced subjects could have been expanded a bit.
Although I wondered if the fact that this book is based on a beta version of 1.4 would detract, it didn't (or at least I didn't notice it): when I'm looking for a good technical book, especially in an area as complex as J2EE, and especially when I'm recommending it for people of varying skills, I look at the overall feel and end result on me. And this book left me knowing a lot about 1.4 and feeling like it hadn't been an effort! That's important, because it doesn't really matter if a book is cutting edge, if the authors make you feel like you're wading through mollasses to get anywhere! These authors didn't make me feel like that at all. OK, I'll have to tell my guys to check up on a few minor things, but after reading this book they'll have the skills and confidence to know where to look and what questions to ask.
Great book guys, and many thanks.

Summary: Authoritative and it shows!! A book for now and the future.
Comment: Two things about the book worried me at first: the size (I was expecting more) and the number of authors. However, after just the first two chapters it was clear that the authors know their stuff (they seem to have been influencing J2EE for years) and can cram a lot of information into a relatively small space *without* losing any detail or making it impossible to follow.
I liked the way that the sample app. runs through the book and they build up on it as they tackle each subject. That's pretty cool and helps to put things into perspective. I also liked the fact that they touch on some of the things that may be coming round the corner (1.5 I suppose). So, this book doesn't just stop at J2EE 1.4 - it's given me insight into what to expect in future releases. Very cool.
My recommendation? Buy it. You won't regret it. This is a good book for newbies and seasoned professionals alike.

Summary: Disappointing with obsolete code and content
Comment: I am really disappointed with this book, which is outdated and obsolete in both both code and content. If you are an aspiring J2EE develper, then the content and code discussed book will lead you to a dead end. The code is mostly deprecated and just don't work. The content is obsolete by 2 revsions. The authors ignored lot of new features of J2EE..a long list to add here. You will be better of reading the J2EE 1.4 tutorial with examples posted in the Java site than reading this obsolete junk.
