Summary: Good starting point for Java Enterprise development
Review: There are a lot of books on the markets these days on J2EE, so finding what you what can be daunting. What this book offers is a good introduction or foundation to the Java Enterprise Technologies. It would be useful for any Java programmer/developer who wants to learn about these technologies but does not know where to begin. So if you do not know your JNDI's from your RMI's, your EJB's from your JMS's, your JSP's from your Servlets, or your JTS from your JTA's, then I would recommend this book for you.

Summary: This book does its Job - nicely.
Review: There are so many book out there, which focus on a particular technology. Very few books explain each technology and show how to integrate them all. This book does that, and explains how to integrate and put to use Servlets, JSP, Beans, EJB, RMI in a single application. Writing a book on a particular technology may not be easy, but writing a book which integrates these technologies, and shows how in the application these can be integrated is not a easy job either. I would love to see more CORBA integration in its second edition, with emphasis on CorbaBeans.

Summary: Solid overview of Enterprise Java.
Review: This book boasts a solid overview of the major Enterprise Java technologies. Those wanting more specific coverage of a cerain technology should refer to another book; as this title simply dedicates a couple of chapters to each key technology. But those looking for a solid base in each of the major technologies should find this book helpful.

Summary: I recommand it, but it isn't the best one.
Review: this book explains clearly and easily some java applications, but it doesn't encounter all the java distributed technologies(like Corba!). In some chapter, the autors go deeply (Jdbc,EJB) to explain the stuff, but in others not (servlets, RMI, tiered Architectures).

Summary: The best Enterprise JAVA book in the market today.
Review: This book is very solid and shouldn't be taken by beginners in Enterprise JAVA... after the Nutshell this should be the next step.Must see TV for Distributed JAVA Programmers... it has a very hard to find chapter about JMS. I recommend it.

Summary: Enterprise Development with Java 2
Review: This book is well designed and well written. It covers every topic needed for Java Enterprise Development. Topics like Java Message Service and Java Mail are covered quite extensively, not to mention JSP, XML, and Enterprise JavaBeans. Every topic needed to do real Java Enterprise development is here in this book. Each topic has several chapters dedicated to that subject as well as an application chapter which builds on previous chapters. Each chapter shows the needed diagrams and code samples to build the required implementation. Chapter 11 shows how to create a basic JSP Bug Tracking tool, which is one of my future projects that I am interested in doing. This book will make a great reference manual because it is well laid out and the index is extremely accurate. The book does have a lot of tables, diagrams, and code samples. The tables describe the methods, properties, attributes and packages covered in the book. ** I would highly recommend this book to an intermediate to advanced Java Programmer looking to do enterprise level development work. I rate this book at 4.5 stars. Jerry

Summary: Excellent overview of key Enterprise Java Technologies
Review: This book provides an excellent overview of the core Enterprise Java technologies for building 3 & N-tier application servers. Though it does not go into too much depth, it did provide enough information (sample code sniplets) and understanding of how each of these technologies play within a distributed OO application service - JMS, JTS, EJB, JavaServerPages, Servlets, and JDBC. Each chapter provides useful information about the technology and its role in an enterprise application. Although there are many sources that will provide you with the same kinds of information on JMS, JTS, EJB, ... this book is a very nice single source reference for all these technologies. If you are new to Enterprise Java or simply need an overview of how all these technologies play together in a distributed intra/internet application server - this is a good book to start with.

Summary: Developing Java Enterprise Applications
Review: This books tells you a lot of nothing. First 12 chapter does not even gets into EJB. The example code does not work unless you have some experience to debug them first. I would not recommend this book to any one accept someone new to java wanting to learn the new buzz words.
