Summary: Great Book!
Review: I recommend this book to developers at any level who want to learn about J2EE. The authors did a great job at describing all of the meat inside J2EE. I was very happy with how thorough they were in covering each API in detail. Many J2EE books miss covering something that is imporant or gloss over some details. I wanted a book that covered everything even thoguh I wouldn't be needing to know it all right away.Take a look at the table of contents and see what I mean. I can say that all of the content is carefully described and they provide diagrams illustrating the J2EE structure and code examples showing how to use each API. True to its name, it is my handbook for J2EE that I keep with me at work and on the road and so I wanted to give them a good review for a job well done. My only drawback is that the code for the J2EE 1.4 reference implementation needs to update the build scripts. But I sent an e-mail to one of the authors and he responded saying that the J2EE implementation changed and the code should work but they would send me and update their web site with the new reference implementation scritps. Since I am only using the code and the code works it was no big deal for me. I was pretty impressed that the author even responded to my e-mail since most don't.

Summary: J2EE 1.4 Erupted!
Review: I've been very pleased with this book. The authors have done a very good job at jumping into the details of J2EE 1.4 early on in the book and continuing with that level of detail throughout all 1500 some pages! I admit to not having read the whole book yet, but the chapters on EJB, SOAP, and XML have been excellent. I particularly like the use of UML class diagrams to present an API. It is simply much easier to understand an API by looking at a sexy picture showing relationships rather than staring at a JavaDoc page. The writing is good, the examples work, and the coverage is thorough and in great depth. All in one book! I'm quite pleased and have been recommending it to my mates interested in J2EE and Web Services.

Summary: The J2EE Bible
Review: Simply the best available text on the subject. The level of detail is extraordinary, the examples are clear and helpful throughout. This book raised my understanding of the subject matter and has also served as a valuable reference on several occasions. Mr. Perrone's analysis and acumen for writing on this topic is unparalleled, don't waste your time with any other text on J2EE.

Summary: One of the good books with great examples
Review: This book covers a large number of j2ee apis in a coherent manner. It is a good reference book for every day use.
Some parts of the book out dated with respected to technologies progress from it's publishing. The real life examples with oracle, weblogic, j2ee RI server is great help.

Summary: Not for beginers!
Review: This book fails to actually teach anything. The author goes into long drawn out paragraphs and fails to say much. If you don't know J2EE, stay away from this book! If you are not great at J2EE and want to get better, don't buy this book! Only buy this if you want a refrence book, but it's not even good for that, IMO.

Summary: Favorite J2EE book
Review: This is my reference book that I liked most for J2EE. It describes all of the J2EE parts in alot of detail. It is different by having UML diagrams that describe each J2EE part then the author describes the J2EE part that the diagram shows. This makes it easy to understand that J2EE part. Also has code examples to run and in the book. Every J2EE part is covered like EJb, sevlets, Web services, JAXR, JMS, and on. They are able to cover this because the book is biggest one I have with almost 1500 pages. It is organized too. Parts are described in all in good sequence.
