Summary: Good introduction to J2EE architecture
Comment: "J2EE Unleashed" covers the major aspects of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition. The three main pieces (servlets, JSPs, and EJBs) are each well covered with good examples. JNDI, JDBC, JavaMail and JMS are each given a chapter and XML is also covered. The strength of the book, though, is its coverage of designing J2EE architectures. For example, servlets are explained but then the authors go beyond the explanation to show how servlets fit into an overall J2EE architecture. Model 2 controller architecture is covered and Apache Struts is discussed as an example of using servlets as controllers. According to the publisher, "The goal of this book is not to teach the J2EE specification but to illustrate the best practices for developing J2EE applications." In fact, it does both. The example application which is used throughout the book is well designed to cover all the pieces of J2EE. I do have two complaints about the book. First, it concentrates too much on the SilverStream Application Server getting down to the level of showing screen shots of deployment wizards. Second, the book could have used some editing to give it a better flow. J2EE architecture is explained before any of the pieces that make up the architecture are discussed. EJB session beans are used to demonstrate how to use JDBC before EJBs are covered. Overall, however, the book is well done and can stand up against any of the books covering this complex topic.

Summary: If only we had more development books like this!!!!
Comment: The net boom has messed with the Software Development Life Cycle in that application development preparedness has gone out the window. This book is that lasso that brings it all back into the stable when developing Java applications. As should be done prior to jumping in and coding away feverishly w/o a goal, J2EE Unleashed prepares you and walks you through the proper steps prior to Java development, then through the life cycle of an application. I've been a developer for eight years now and can honestly say that I've not gotten this much out of a software book ever. Truly a breath of fresh air in a sea of software books that contain no understanding of software development. Its like three books in one!! - Data Modeling, Java Development and SDLC. Thorough, easy-read, highly recommended.

Summary: Good coverage but is lacking
Comment: I'm working on a web services project using Java and purchased this book. There wasn't any coverage on web services. I supplimented this title with Java, The Complete Reference that covers web servers. Otherwise, this book is OK
