Summary: get it online
Comment: I heard the material was the same, but was hoping for a more thoughtful layout and more of a teaching perspective. No such luck.

Summary: Definitely not for a novice
Comment: Having about a year or so experience with Java, I bought this book intending to use JNDI on a project. I was hoping for a clear, simple tutorial; instead I had to wrestle with setting up my environment for at least two hours before I could even run one sample program. The authors do NOT clearly state which .JAR files have to go in jre/lib/ext, they do not explain that the path in the samples needs to be changed from /tmp/tutorial to whatever directory you are working in, and some of their examples are wrong (page 27 - the Lookup program does NOT take a command-line argument). I haven't started the Directory Operations chapter yet (since it requires an LDAP server and I haven't installed one yet), but if it took this long just to get through the basics, I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time reading Sun's forums looking for answers...

Summary: So far the best
Comment: After reading documentation of JNDI and Wrox's Java Server Programming book, I realized that I need a more detailed hands-on book. I downloaded Netscape Directory Server for NT and read its document. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I can make my java program work on JNDI, LDAP until I read THIS book. I am happy to find it on sun's website. Make comparison by yourself. It is really an excellent book on JNDI.
