Summary: out of date
Comment: So much has happened to the java platform since this book was published that even the information that is still correct is probably not very relevant. The authors need to update it in a new edition for java 1.2, EJB, JSP, etc.

Summary: lots of great content though a bit hard to read
Comment: This book was very helpful to me because it gave me real code and showed the SUN BDK beanbox tool being used to link JavaBeans. I thank the author for a generally accurate and error free book. Though not perfect, it is better than many Java and JavaBeans books.

One thing I found somewhat irritating was that the makefile contents for the JAR utility were reproduced for each and every program. Soon I just skipped all of those; they wasted paper and room.

Another irritant is that the author didn't show how to just use jar to wrap up the beans. You don't HAVE to use nmake. I was able to get along without it.

I also found the 2nd person viewpoint writing style to be a little awkward (You do this, etc.) In fact, the style is a bit too wordy and drawn-out. Why can't anyone write a SHORT and terse Java book?!

But overall, this was a very useful book and I'm glad I read it.
