Excellent book on Enterprise Java Computing

It is, no doubt an ideal hands-on reference which deals with the various deployment issues. It has clarified nicely the salient points regarding EJBs. Treatment of RMI and other aspects of distributed computing - the hows and whys of it - is in-depth and comprehensive. I anticipate such simple and superb coverage from the author in books to follow on other related topics also.

covers everything once you know the language.

I've been doing some Java, unfortunately not as much as I want. This book was great at explaining everything I wanted to DO after having my feet wet. Don't get it to learn the JDK basics. It was usefull for all of it's dedicated topics (RMI, JDBC, persistence, ...) but not basic things like threads, swing, ... The title is the book. In other words, you have to have a desire for the distributed environment to get the book.No book is perfect, this one does not have all the examples typed up for you. Just some.

A must-have book for the java enterprise app developer

The book is very well organized and well written. A much-needed reference book for any enterprise java developer. Cuts thru the alphabet-soup and gives real layman explanations to current major Java enterprise APIs. As a suggestion, the authors could in the next edition :- 1)add-in more about JNDI(examples for LDAP querying etc) 2)add-in Jini and Java namespaces technology 3)add-in JAAS with special emphasis on how to authorize users on to NT systems using JavaCongrats for bringing out such a remarkable and outstanding book

Top-notch coverage of RMI and Servlets!

The most in-depth coverage of RMI I've ever seen...this guy sure knows what he is talking about! Explains everything you ever need to know about servlets, including their integration with RMI, JDBC and Applets.

Nimble and useful, a book of real utility.

When this book arrived I thumbed through it and dismissed it as just a rehash of EJB, Servlets, RMI, etc.. However, I decided to have a look at it and was pleased to discover a concise, clear and practical guide to these Java APIs. More than a rehash, this book is a well-paced tour with excellent examples illustrating the concepts. The author provides the why along with the how at an appropriate depth.
