Amazon.co.uk Review
With its excellent cross-platform capabilities and rich enterprise-level APIs, today's Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) stands ready to build the next generation of multi-tiered Web applications. But orchestrating these solutions can be a daunting task. Written by the experts at Sun, Designing Enterprise Applications with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition provides the official 'blueprint' for building scalable, server-centric applications with Java. This title is perfect for any manager or developer seeking to get a handle on the "right" way to design distributed applications with Java.
There are quite a few useful architectural diagrams used in this book, which show how to combine Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs) effectively. For managers or project leaders who might not code with Java everyday, these diagrams can show you how Java components work together within Web applications. The authors also explain the Sun "vision" for Java for a variety of e-commerce scenarios (including several business-to-business systems).
Separate chapters dig into the client, Web, EJB and "enterprise information systems" tiers and where to use various J2EE APIs for the best scalability and maintainability. Later sections look at deploying EJBs and options for transaction management and security for the enterprise. The authors close with a complete Web application for an online pet store created with EJBs and servlets, a useful illustration of J2EE at work. In all, this text is a valuable tour of Sun's official "vision" for enterprise-level computing with Java. It demystifies how various Java APIs can work together to create robust and scalable Web applications. Any IS manager or developer designing with J2EE will want a look at this book to learn how that take full advantage of the latest features for Java-based Web applications. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.com
Topics covered:
- Overview of Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) for enterprise application development, application scenarios (including standalone clients, Web-based and business-to-business scenarios), J2EE components for client-side and server-side tiers (including applets, Enterprise JavaBeans), platform roles for companies using Java.
- Overview of Java APIs and services: JNDI and naming services, deployment, transaction and security services, Java communication support: networking support, Remote Method Invocation (RMI), OMG CORBA support, Java Message Service (JMS) and JavaMail.
- Building Web and EJB clients, the Model-View-Controller paradigm explained, combining servlets, JSPs and EJBs on the middle-tier, using entity and session EJBs, stateful and stateless session beans, sample applications for the enterprise information system tier (applications for an e-store, human resources and distributed purchasing), packaging and deployment, transaction management (JTA, JTS and EJB transactions), Java security overview, and a case study and sample code for an e-commerce pet store.
Product Description
In this book, a team of Sun engineers presents the first start-to-finish guide to enterprise application development with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE). This book covers every component of J2EE, providing "best practices" principles for building secure, high-performance multi-tier enterprise applications, plus a detailed case study showing exactly how to get the job done. The authors begin with an insider's overview of the J2EE platform, and how it can be used. They review each key component, platform, service, and communication technology provided by J2EE; then walk through enterprise development one tier at a time, showing how to leverage J2EE most effectively. The book covers each area: the client tier, Web tier, Enterprise JavaBeans tier, and Enterprise Information System tier, as well as practical techniques for packaging and deployment; extensive coverage of transactions, plus details on the J2EE security model. With the launch of the J2EE Platform, this book is the ideal one-stop resource for IT managers, web providers, EJB developers, database administrators, system administrators and system integrators.

Format:Paperback
It's fairly easy read and gives basic approach on designing with Enterprise Applications. I can say it's the good book on architecturing J2EE applications. The demo which was given on the book also fairly good enough. But i would more appreicate if they have given more examples.
Format:Paperback
Had this book for a few years now & its the best J2EE book I've read. Easy to read, concise & you can even download the .pdf off the sun website.
Don't know what else to say? It does what the title claims!

J2EE Blueprint
25 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
Good book. Easy to read and good coverage of the Web Tier (Servlets and JSPs) as well as EJBs. Won't tell you the "how" but does an excellent job with the "why". Can be downloaded for free at java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html aka the J2EE Blueprint. Use it in conjunction with Professional JSP from Wrox and Enterprise Javabeans from Monson-Haefel and you can't go wrong.

Designing not developing is the keyword here
19 July 2000
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
One of the better books when it comes to designing enterprise applications, if not the best. The stress in the book is not on developing, but as the title suggests - the stress is on designing enterprise apps using j2ee. So don't look in this book for broad and expansive coverage on technologies such as JSP, Servlets, EJBs. There are plenty of other books that do that. Where the books scores is in the lucid explanation of ways to design an enterprise application. But the reader should be aware of the J2EE technologies are used here prior to reading this book. There are chapters written by different authors who are (probably)experts in their domains. For eg. the chapter 4 - The Web Tier is very well written and clears a lot of doubts. In short a good book for clearing up all your doubts on the design of a J2EE app. This is one of a kind book on this subject. Also, a good source for clearing up your MVC fundamentals.

Very good book about web-based application architecture
13 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
The book is a very good book about designing a web-based application architecture. This is the book that everybody should read before they create a client/server system with Java. Few books go beyond the syntax of a language and discuss the architectural design of a good system. This book does just that.
What I didn't like about the book is that some chapters are better than others. I believe that this occurred because different people wrote different chapters. The book does, however, do a good job of integrating the chapters into a single cohesive unit.
I also would have liked to have seen more details about the implementation of the design. When I'm unfamiliar with the language, I find it difficult to understand how to actually implement the general design concepts. The reader must download the Pet Store example application and muddle through the code to determine which code implements which part of the design as well as figure out how the details of the code.
