Title: One of the worst tech books I have seen
Review: I have purchased this book after reading the excelent Java 2: The Complete Reference, by Herbert Schildt.This book has lots of chapters covering many subjects but none of them goes deep enough to let you really learn what that thing means.There are chapters about HTML, XML and SQL that I really think that are not needed in that kind of book and the chapters about JSP and EJB are so small and poor in content that I had to go through the J2EE 1.4 tutorial provided by Sun to get the point on these techs.The most part of the book is waste on tables listing methods of classes, but it's just that: The author gives a table with a list of methods and a small sentence stating what it does. No code sample, no usage... If I was searching for list of classes and methods, the Sun documentation available online is more than good.I have not yet seen a really good J2EE book, even because I haven't read so many, but the Sun's tutorial looks very good.
