and pitfalls in Java 2 Enterprise Edition 1.4. This practical guide is for enterprise Java developers, with information on the 1.4 version of Sun Microsystems Java Enterprise Edition software. It includes chapters on Ant, Cactus, Struts, and JUnit.

to work with all of today's relevant Java APIs. Plus, it's a top-notch reference to all enterprise classes. Part tutorial and part reference work you can use everyday at your desk, this title is a worthwhile resource for any Java developer building Web or enterprise software. The practical, succinct focus here on actual Java enterprise APIs helps distinguish this text from the pack. Early sections provide short, clear examples along with just enough background to help you use APIs like JDBC, servlets and JSPs, EJBs and others. Coverage of Java's ability to interface with legacy CORBA systems is just excellent here, with a full tour of Java IDL, CORBA services and Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Typically, readers will be familiar with some J2EE APIs and not others. This book can help fill in the gaps. Updated with the latest standards from Sun including JDBC 3.0, Servlet 2.3 and EJB 2.0, this is an essential primer of today's high-end (and high-paying) Java. The basic presentation of servlets/JSP and EJBs (among the most important APIs for current Java Web development) are concise and nicely digestible. We also liked the chapter on JMS for messaging (also a hotbed of Java job activity). The second half of this text lists every J2EE class along with methods and properties in a very valuable reference making good use of two-toned shading for easy access. Entries are organised by package name. (One small oversight here is that an index of cross-listed packages, classes and methods omits page numbers.) Overall, this reference material will serve as truly indispensable for any working Java programmer. The second edition of Java Enterprise in a Nutshell is a fully up-to-date tutorial and reference that lives up to the standards of O'Reilly's Nutshell series. Both thorough and concise, it's a handy resource for anyone who works with the hundreds and thousands of Java enterprise APIs on a regular basis. --Richard Dragan

programming with the disparate APIs required for today's enterprise development, including JDBC, RMI, servlets and EJBs. Beginning with JDBC database programming, the book gives a chapter-by-chapter tour of various enterprise development APIs, including program strategies for each API. For JDBC, the book includes new Java 2 JDBC enhancements like batch and recordsets.Next comes Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI) classes for calling remote code. Then it's on to using Java IDL and CORBA basics. A chapter on Java servlets will get you started delivering dynamically generated HTML using Java on Web servers, including useful material on cookies and session management. After coverage of the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) comes a solid exploration of EJBs with material on both session and entity beans. Specifics here include home and remote interfaces, EJB containers, stateless vs stateful session beans, and entity beans for accessing corporate databases.Overall, this handy and readable guide to the latest in Java APIs can be truly invaluable to the developer bringing Java to the corporate enterprise for the first time. --Richard Dragan

With more TLAs (three letter acronyms) than you can shake a stick at, this book can be a little unclear in places, but then that's the nature of the language and you'll probably find most books to be the same.

Both by David Flanagan.
See my review of Java in a Nutshell for comments on the Java Enterprise CD Bookshelf.
To round off, I found this one to be a very useful introduction to the technologies and how they can be integrated in an enterprise environment. I would definitely recommend it as an introduction/reference. To be at the stage where you could create and deploy your own EJB-based solution, a lot more is needed. For example, the O'Reilly EJB book would probably be a good start. To continue in the theme of nutshell books, a lack of examples is the only downfall. As previously, Flanagan writes in a clear and concise way, and as far as I can tell, is technically correct.

To round off, having read the first book, I found this one to be a fairly useful introduction to the JFC and would recommend it purely for the reference section.
