Not much BAPI specific information 
. There are only 13 pages which detail how to create your own BAPI and the extra 50 pages on BAPIs mearly list the BAPIs that SAP delivers with less documentation than SAP already gives in their BAPI transaction.. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to look at the book before buying it because I bought it at a large conference in between classes. If I had spent 5 minutes looking at it before I bought it, I wouldn't have. But since the previous ABAP book from the same publishing company was of very good quality, I bought it thinking it would be the same quality. Since buying the book last year I've only looked at it for about 20 minutes. I would not recommend.
Waste of money
Poor content, structure and presentation. One of the junk books I;ve read lately. Lots of pages but no information. The authors/publishers tried very hard to increase the book size with all sorts of tricks. About thirty pages of the book are either blank or have chapter titles but no useful info. Not many useful code samples. The chapters on Java, OOP etc are really not necessary as there are lot of excellent tutorials/free books available on the internet. Very little information on the actual Java&BAPI as the title suggests. I;ve noticed a couple of errors in the Java related chapters. I will be very surprised if rest of the book is error free. Please do not waste your money by buying this POS.
Java & BAPI Technology for SAP
It would be perfect if they could use some real-world sample codes or lead their readers go through some complete exercise. I wish the authors put more content on the interaction of Java and BAPI, with more example codes on how to use Java to call BAPI etc. Instead, the authors put lots of unnecessary information there, which we can find more in detail from other sources. We do not get what we really want from this book. I am surprised this book even got published.
