Not a good book to recommend
But if I was really disappointed in a book, I want to write a review. I bought mamy books and do not have time to write many reviews. There are many junk Java books in the market. This one is not better than them. The book even does not have a good example to show what a J2EE technology is. If you have money and just want to put a book on your book shelf to look up occasionally, you can consider this book.

Not Bad Value !
g. Whilst I feel the book is excellant value for money and the Author has done a good job I would argue that some of the material in the book should have been excluded (to save a tree or two) e. Chapter 2,52 - 54 and included in appendix ? - but hey thats me trying to reduce the 1000 odd pages that I read !!.

Overall Comment - definately worth buying, but my advice is to allocate some "quiet" time to read and digest all the material - Not really for the beginner.

Reference for the serious J2EE developer
Keep in mind that it is impossible to cover Enterprise Java Beans,JSP,Servlets in detail in just one book. If you are searching for a reference manual that covers the basics about all the technologies involved in J2EE this is the book to buy. So if you're after a special thing like only EJB feel free to buy other books that cover only Enterprise Java Beans but otherwise this book is really worth its bucks simply because it introduces you to J2EE and afterwards you are able to understand what all those things are about.
