Java Enterprise in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (In a Nutshell

In a Nutshell

by David Flanagan, Jim Farley, William Crawford

Nothing is as constant as change, and this is as true in enterprise computing as anywhere else. With the recent release of Java 2 Enterprise Edition 1.4, developers are being called on to add even greater, more complex levels of interconnectivity to their applications.

To do this, Java developers today need a clear understanding of how to apply the new APIs, use the latest open source Java tools, and learn the capabilities and pitfalls in Java 2 Enterprise Edition 1.4 -- so they can plan a technology and implementation strategy for new enterprise projects.

Fortunately, this is exactly what they get with the new "Java Enterprise in a Nutshell," 3rd Edition. Because most integrated development environments (IDE) today include API lookup, we took out the main API sections from our previous edition to make room for new chapters, among others, on Ant, Cactus, Hibernate, Jakarta Struts, JUnit, security, XDoclet, and XML/JAXP.

Revised and updated for the new 1.4 version of Sun Microsystems Java Enterprise Edition software, "Java Enterprise in a Nutshell," 3rd Edition is a practical guide for enterprise Java developers.

I'm a co-author so naturally I must admit this is a 5-star read.

[Kris Magnusson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I helped write this book. I hope it has helped you become a better J2EE developer as it has helped me become a better programming writer.

I'm not going to hold back or play modest--this book can justifiably be rated as a four-star. Hence I am giving it this rating.

Cheers! (meaning I hope you have a decent microbrewery in your town)

It's a few years out of date, but as a comprehensive intro I haven't found anything better on the market. The content was just right for what I needed, which was a brief introduction to several of the vast array of standards and technology that comprise J2EE.
