Title: The worst J2EE book available
Review: Overall, I feel as if the author must have skimmed a number of J2EE books, and then, borrowing from these sources, compiled a hodge-podge of spotty, dated, inaccurate, and often misleading advice. Please do not waste your money on this monstrosity. If you are curious to see just how bad this book is, the book is available for free in PDF format at theserverside.com (you can also find a more detailed list of the problems, and some additional reviews thers)FYI, the best books I have read, that cover the topics that this book was intended to cover, are: Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development (a.k.a. the J2EE Bible), by Rod Johnson and Applying UML and Patterns, by Craig Larman. Although these books are not free, they both contain invaluable knowledge for aspiring J2EE Architects.
