Everything you ever wanted to know about J2EE but were afraid to ask! This book's got it all... it explainsin enough detail every aspect of J2EE, as a software engineer this book has proved to be invaluable for any J2EE project. An exceptional reference.
Your chance to catch up with what you might have missed - By: akrestan@tesco.net, 09 Jun 2001 
Although the book's back states intermediate-to-advanced level it will probably be more relevant to intermediate Java developers. I can't imagine hardened frontliners to be able to find anything they don't already know there. The title reads like "Java 2 Enterprise Edition" - a title that might suggest the book is only about the J2EE platform, which is not. It should rather read like "what issues you might come accross when building a J2EE application". As such it was exactly the level I was looking for. Being a self-taught Java programmer I have always felt that I might be missing a crucial bit. This is what the book is very good at - it introduces every imaginable topic related to building a J2EE application, but does not burry the reader under much detail. Surely, this is how a reference guide should be written. This book tells you about the background, gives you an example or a snipet of code & - do you want to know more? Read the specification - be it an IETF's RFC or SUN's Java specification! Nothing is more useless then a copy of Javadocs. I give it 4 points out of five.
