Useful book but very uneaven
I bought this book in order to get a good overview of the J2EE platform. I was looking for a book that would summarize the first level of technical detail on the technologies of the J2EE platform and their interplay. The first few chapters useful for the component overview. Beyond that, I found that I was better off getting my information from other books. The chapters vary widely in quality and substance. Some sections deal with broad truisms and generalities, while others dive deeply into coding related details.

This definitely feels like a book written by committee.

A Really Good Book!
This is an excellent book for either a developer or a systems administrator. I teach Websphere Application Server classes and the book has been invaluable in providing details to students who want more inside information about J2EE. The only complaint that I have, and it is a minor one, is that some of the authors insist upon using the phrase "JSP pages" over and over. JSP means Java Server Pages, so the extra 'pages' is unneeded.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone teaching classes that include J2EE or for anyone attempting to achieve J2EE certification, or just trying to learn J2EE design.

A little dated.. but still invaluable
This book would have been the prime book for J2EE developers a couple of years ago but its past that now. Yet there are some valuable tips .. buy it if you have the spare change.
