State of the art, at time of writing

This book covers the 'Awesome' topic of JavaBeans very well. In fact it also delves into the related topic of introspection (or reflection) plus Jar files. This is all done using graphically oriented beans. Although a couple chapters are tough going, the technology is not easy, so what did you expect?There are numerous examples and Source code! Its kind of fun to assemble some of these beans but it can be hard if you don't have the now defunct program "Visual Age Web Runner" ..used by the author.. There are two ways to assemble beans: 1) manual and 2) cut and paste. BeanBox (Sun) and WebRunner use the easier cut and paste method while in JBuilder I had to do things manually.. but this is in a way good..since you really need to understands events and adapters to do this.I was able to get most of the beans supplied in the book going and when I had problems the author was not far away..in his "Author Online Forum".. where he takes questions and comments and helps you work things out.I have only been working in Java for about 1 year now, but I think this book and the sample programs/beans have moved me into the intermediate-level area.I hope Rodrigues will update this book and perhaps write one on Enterprise Java Beans and server technology.
