Summary: Great book for J2EE as well as Weblogic
Comment: Most people want to work with real code examples so at some point, all J2EE developers will want a book that goes into the detail of deploying to an application server, deployment specific work sometimes taking as much of the time as the actual coding (I've had deployment files that are longer than the Java code they support).
This book sets out how to code and deploy from the beginning.
The text is clear and succinct. The examples are short but functional.
Each chapter has examples that don't rely on having done the examples in other chapters, so you can go to the chapter you want and concentrate on what you want to learn.
The style of the book makes it easy to keep on learning, by the time you finish each chapter, you should have a real sense of accomplishment.
A trial version of Weblogic can be downloaded from the internet so using it with this book will take you through just about all the technologies you need and your confidence to write Java Enterprise applications will soar.
Well worth the money for good information on Java Enterprise and great advice for using Weblogic.

Summary: Great book if you use (or want to use) BEA WebLogic 6
Comment: I am generally pleased with the book. I have been using WebLogic 6.0 for almost 2 years, so I bought the book mainly to fill in the gaps in my knowledge, and to study for the BEA Solution Developer exam.
I particularly liked the section on JTA with the explanations of transaction isolation and demarcartion. I have read about these topics in other places, but never as understandable as here.
I also liked Chapter 3 Designing WebLogic Applications as you lay out how to go from requirements to a design. Again I have read more than a few books on this but the way it is explained here it makes a lot of sense and doesn't take 600 pages to do so.
In a general sense the examples are some of the best (session and entity beans, servlets and JSP). The are easy to follow, stick to the topic, and demonstrate how (and why) they work in WebLogic. The message-driven bean example in chapter 17 is the exception, with too many errors to list.
One thing I really like about the book is that it explains J2EE topics pretty thoroughly, and then gets down to details of implementation on WebLogic. I take the stance that once I understand thoroughly how a technology works on WebLogic then I can probably get it to work on other app servers if needed.
In contrast, I read the "Java Message Service" book by Richard Monson-Haefel & David Chappell (which is also a great book). The Monson-Haefel/Chappell book provided a deep understanding of JMS (which is good) but when it came time to deploy it on WebLogic I kinda had to stumble through it, simply because that book is not specific to WebLogic.
I look forward to reading the various sections on security, a complex topic in and of itself.

Summary: Just what I needed
Comment: If you are new to WebLogic and/or are somewhat mystified by J2EE buy this book. It's a great resource and it is totally worth the money. It helps you get up and running quickly without getting too bogged down in all the BEA documentation. I found the overview of the J2EE technologies very enriching and the demonstration of WebLogic's value proposition and capabilities easy to digest. It also has some very helpful and practical suggestions for working out some thorny issues with WebLogic server such as class loaders, deployment etc. I'm constantly referring to it. The author has really done his homework and has done a valuable service to the WebLogic developer community by writing this book. When I had a question regarding some portions of the text I emailed the author and he responded within hours! He not only helped answer my question but also pointed me in the right direction where I could do additional research. It's nice to see someone stand by their work like that.
