4.0 out of 5 stars Good for getting it all together, weak on EJB 19 Nov 2003

By Frank Carver VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

This is a big and heavy book, but it needs to be to cover the scope of servlets, JSP and EJB in a practical and detailled way, It includes a lot of real code listings for practical projects. The downside with wide-scope books is that sometimes individual areas get less attention than they might in a more specific book. To some degree that's true for the EJB material in this book. What the book covers well is getting all the various server-side Java APIS to work together. If you want an in-depth treatment of EJB you are much better off getting one of the more focussed EJB books. This book covers Servlets 2.3, JSP 1.2, and some of EJB 2.0.

4.0 out of 5 stars Covers every aspect of Java Web Development 14 May 2002

By Mr. Keith Sterling

Format:Paperback

This is a big book, close to 1000 pages and does an excellent job of teaching a huge subject. The coverage of Servlets and Java Server Pages and all the associated technologies that go with them ( Tag Libraries, Javascript, caching, authentication etc etc ) are clear, concise and very easy to follow.

Don't expect to become and EJB expert from the coverage in the book, the 6 chapters at the end of the book are ideal for Servlet and JSP programmers who either need to intergrate or develop small scale EJB applications. The information is accurate and the examples well worked out.

I find it a bit strange to dedicate a whole chapter ( all 5 pages ) on how to download a file, and then the next chapter ( all 18 pages ) on how to up load a file, but each chapter does cover a new topic so understand why

Overall a very good book and I would definately recommend this to the Servlet and JSP developers in my teams

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional!!! 5 May 2002

By kevin tuite - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

I can't believe there is one Java Web book that covers all plus more:
Servlets 2.3, JSP 1.2, EJB 2.0, JavaScript, and teaches you how to use
those technologies in real-world projects. There are so many things you
can't find in other servlet/JSP books.

Here are my favorite chapters:
Chapter 4 gives you wide coverage of how to use JDBC in a Web application.
Chapter 5 is an excellent chapter on session management. Very thorough.
Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the new features of servlet 2.3: application and
session events and filters.
Chapter 12 is only 5 pages but it offers you the technique you don't find
in other Web programming books: how to send a file to the browser and make
the browser display the "Save As" dialog.
Chapter 13 explains how to upload files in depth. This is definitely not
covered in most servlet/JSP books.
Chapter 15 teaches you how to cache your data to greatly improve
performance.
Chapter 17 teaches you how to design your application.
Chapter 27 is full of tips on how to control applets using JavaScript.

Also, the bonus software in the CD is invaluable:
- The file upload bean enables you to upload files effortlessly, you just
need to copy the .jar file into the lib directory under your application's
WEB-INF directory. According to the back cover and the author section,
this bean is licensed by Fortune 500 company Commerce One and the code is
used in the example code of IBM's WebSphere J2EE server documentation!
- The file download makes sending files to the browser error-free.

There are 3 ready-to-use projects:
- E-commerce site based on the Model 2 architecture. This is a perfect
example of how to implement the recommended Model 2 architecture.
- XML-based e-book. Very unique, you can use this to create your own
online documentation and more importantly it's browser-independent.
- Document management, this is my favorite. I am impressed by the
navigation tree that really looks like Windows Explorer. I did not know
that it is possible to do so with JavaScript. It enables you to give
permission to certain people to access certain files.

The EJB section of this book is not the most complete, but surprisingly it
is easy to understand.
One thing that this book does not have is the discussion of the Jakarta
Struts project. But, overall I am very happy and wish this book had come
out much earlier.

O, btw, another thing that makes this book different is one section in the
introduction. It talks about the battle between J2EE vs Microsoft .NET.
Very interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like sitting in a classroom 21 May 2002

By "zendog" - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This is an excellent book. I'm a Java instructor and this book is structured as if the writer is a teacher and the reader a student. There are no leaps of faith or "assumed" knowledge. The author patiently explains the purpose of all relavent information before easing into new material. Besides being written in a friendly manner, the material is thorough which includes several appendix topics for setting up classpath, etc.
If you're struggling to find a great J2EE book without spending [money] on multiple texts, take a close look at this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible for Java web developers 15 May 2002

By Amarnath Nalumachu - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This comprehensive volume covers Java Servlets, JSP and Enterprise Java Beans technology. Style of presentation is lucid and equips the readers to develop a full fledge e-commerce appplication from scratch. Advanced topics like security configuration,caching, file upload are explained in detail with suitable real world examples which are rarely found in similar books.

Instead of commercial servers, examples are based on free open source server (Tomcat and JBoss) which makes this book all the more interesting for students and developers alike.

This volume is highly recommended for beginners and well as advanced web developers.
