J2EE(tm) Technology in Practice: Building Business Applications with the Java(tm) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition

This well-edited collection of ten case studies details the state of J2EE practice circa early 2001. Making its debut at Sun's JavaOne conference in June, the book candidly documents the experience of Sun's enterprise partners building server-side Java applications. From the mostly success stories two facts emerge: J2EE is component-based software development done right, but most projects are still using JSP/Servlet technology, with EJBs on the planning horizon. Also important is the continuing emphasis on scalability and performance, ever the bugaboos of virtual machine platforms like Java. Readers embarked on their own J2EE initiatives will appreciate the book's coverage of challenges creatively faced.

The introductory chapters by Dr. Rick Cattell and Jim Inscore of Sun Microsystems go beyond prefatory fluff, providing one of the better overviews of J2EE's goals and architecture. Developers and their managers will benefit from a close reading of Sun's strategy for distributed computing.

All in all, "J2EE Technology in Practice" is an exciting snapshot of a successful movement that promises the best is yet to come.
