Total Trash
This is one of those books where the publisher has packed in as many pages as possible to make it seem impressive. Total trash. It is completely unreadable and not even useful as a reference book.

Only "Good Overview" of J2EE.
It will be painful to find out that this books gives only a overview of the technologies that comprise J2EE. The title of the book is impressive and is certain to fool many a serious developer hopeful of "Building" J2EE systems with the help of this book.

System Architects who wish to find out what the various J2EE "buz words" are about may find this book interesting.

Best complete J2EE book I found
No other book that I could find provided me with all of the material I needed for server side Java. I had been looking for a book that gave me most of the information I needed for J2EE and server side coding and I found it in this book. The material is thorough and it is loaded with examples that use BEA weblogic and Oracle. There are some topics that I can do without like DCOM and much of the CORBA chapters. Although if you really want the complete picture of other technologies you might find that information interesting too. I'd rank it a 4. 5, but Ill give them the extra half point for the effort.
