J2EE(tm) Technology in Practice: Building Business Applications with the Java(tm) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition

Description : I’m not surprised that there have been a wide range of ratings for this book, becuase this nature of this book is not suited for everyone. It is not going to teach you J2EE development, and it is not going to help you figure out exactly how you should approach a J2EE development project. What it does do very well is to give a small sampling of how J2EE is successfully being used in very diverse industries. Since these are only a handful of case studies, this book really only provides anecodtal stories of success, rather than scientific proof. But, I found these anecodtal stories to be a fascinating quick read in order to gather more information on how different companies have been approaching enterprise development with J2EE. Some reviewers criticized the blatant product marketting in the book, but since the products being marketted are a wide variety of competing J2EE servers, I found that quite interesting.
The reason I give this book a 5 star rating is because I think that for the kind of book it is trying to be, it does a very good job. If you already have a good knowledge of J2EE technologies, and would like to know a bit more about how other companies are utilizing J2EE technologies, I recommend picking this book up and giving it a quick read by skimming past the parts that aren’t as applicable to you.
