Well organized contents

I ordered about a half-dozen books on Java Enterprise Edition, and found this (series) to be the best organized material.The authors presented features in the context of the overall vision, helping me to better understand not only what is in J2EE, but what the thinking is on its future.As an overview to J2EE, I found this very helpful.This did not, however, have any compare and contrast materials with Windows DNA/COM+, nor did it have the kinds of detail you would expect in a programmer reference.

J2EE specifications

This book is 'just' a paper version of what you can download for free from java.sun.com. It includes the specifications for: J2EE, Servlets, JSP and EJB - including FAQs and a Glossary (everything available for free on Suns site). The specifications are the definite reference - and proves a good supplement to other books. Worth reading.

Good details and overall a good book

The book explains all the components of the J2EE specification and also talks about how they work with each other. The sections on EJBs and Servlets are quite comprehensive and definitely clarify a lot of misconceptions. Overall a good book for any Enterprise developer.
