Just like sitting in a classroom, May 21, 2002
Reviewer: zendog from Stoughton, WI USA

This is an excellent book. I'm a Java instructor and this book is structured as if the writer is a teacher and the reader a student. There are no leaps of faith or "assumed" knowledge. The author patiently explains the purpose of all relavent information before easing into new material. Besides being written in a friendly manner, the material is thorough which includes several appendix topics for setting up classpath, etc. If you're struggling to find a great J2EE book without spending [money] on multiple texts, take a close look at this one.

Bible for Java web developers, May 15, 2002
Reviewer: Amarnath Nalumachu from India

This comprehensive volume covers Java Servlets, JSP and Enterprise Java Beans technology. Style of presentation is lucid and equips the readers to develop a full fledge e-commerce appplication from scratch. Advanced topics like security configuration,caching, file upload are explained in detail with suitable real world examples which are rarely found in similar books.

Instead of commercial servers, examples are based on free open source server (Tomcat and JBoss) which makes this book all the more interesting for students and developers alike.

This volume is highly recommended for beginners and well as advanced web developers.

Exceptional!!!, May 5, 2002
Reviewer: kevin tuite from Cornwall, NY USA

I can't believe there is one Java Web book that covers all plus more: Servlets 2.3, JSP 1.2, EJB 2.0, JavaScript, and teaches you how to use those technologies in real-world projects. There are so many things you can't find in other servlet/JSP books.

Here are my favorite chapters:
Chapter 4 gives you wide coverage of how to use JDBC in a Web application.
Chapter 5 is an excellent chapter on session management. Very thorough.
Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the new features of servlet 2.3: application and session events and filters.
Chapter 12 is only 5 pages but it offers you the technique you don't find in other Web programming books: how to send a file to the browser and make the browser display the "Save As" dialog.
Chapter 13 explains how to upload files in depth. This is definitely not covered in most servlet/JSP books.
Chapter 15 teaches you how to cache your data to greatly improve performance.
Chapter 17 teaches you how to design your application.
Chapter 27 is full of tips on how to control applets using JavaScript.

Also, the bonus software in the CD is invaluable:
- The file upload bean enables you to upload files effortlessly, you just need to copy the .jar file into the lib directory under your application's WEB-INF directory. According to the back cover and the author section, this bean is licensed by Fortune 500 company Commerce One and the code is used in the example code of IBM's WebSphere J2EE server documentation!
- The file download makes sending files to the browser error-free.

There are 3 ready-to-use projects:
- E-commerce site based on the Model 2 architecture. This is a perfect example of how to implement the recommended Model 2 architecture.
- XML-based e-book. Very unique, you can use this to create your own online documentation and more importantly it's browser-independent.
- Document management, this is my favorite. I am impressed by the navigation tree that really looks like Windows Explorer. I did not know that it is possible to do so with JavaScript. It enables you to give permission to certain people to access certain files.

The EJB section of this book is not the most complete, but surprisingly it is easy to understand. One thing that this book does not have is the discussion of the Jakarta Struts project. But, overall I am very happy and wish this book had come out much earlier. O, btw, another thing that makes this book different is one section in the introduction. It talks about the battle between J2EE vs Microsoft .NET. Very interesting.

Must read fo Java beginner, May 1, 2002
Reviewer: okkyn from Wichita, KS

This book is well explained step by step. You do not need deep knowledge of web programming or Java to start reading this book. Examples are excelent and most off all, it covers all Java's web programming technologies in one book!
