Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:

The Java EE 5 Tutorial is an introduction to programming server-side Java applications. This book takes a task-oriented, example-driven approach to show you how to build applications for the Java EE 5 platform. This book also describes the features and functionalities available with NetBeans 5.5.

 

What's new in this edition? The author team have updated the existing chapters to reflect the changes to JSP, EJB, Servlets, and more. Also, the authors have added new chapters on the Sun Java System Application Server 9 as a deployment environment for server-side technologies. The web-tier technology chapters cover the components used in developing the presentation layer of a Java EE 5 or stand-alone web application. The web services technology chapters cover the APIs used in developing standard web services. The Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology chapters cover the components used in developing the business logic of a Java EE 5 application. The Persistence technology chapters cover the Java Persistence API, which is used for accessing databases from Java EE applications. The platform services chapters cover the system services used by all the Java EE 5 component technologies

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Un libro muy recomendable
Es un libro de referencia muy bueno, realizado por los de Sun.

De volumen es un tocho (casi 1400 páginas) pero si lo usas como referencia de trabajo tienes toda la información necesaria sobre java EE.

Muy recomendable.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Buy this only if you already know Java EE
This book makes sense only if you already know Java EE, but in that case you don't need it. One of the worst tutorial I've ever seen. Wasted a lot of time trying to understand what it says, but that's so hard because it keeps referring to concepts that are be not covered until later chapters (forward referencing). The examples are working, but no clear explanation on what each of them does, how to reassemble them, etc. No step by step guide. Even concepts aren't explained well enough.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Good Book
A Good Book. Good for getting basic examples. Doesnt go very deep on each subject.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - very good
It's an excelent service and very fast, i have not problem with all this items



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - This is a great introduction to JEE5 as long as you already know JEE!
The book description says "This book takes a task-oriented, example-driven approach to show you how to build applications for the Java EE 5 platform."

That is a very misleading half truth. You would expect step by step instructions to write and deploy simple examples. Well the authors have decided to take a short cut instead. They say 'Here is a nice little example we have written the other day. And we will just tell you how to deploy and run it!. True, they 'discuss' the code in the text. But obviously that is not as good as guiding you through the process of building and deploying from scratch. As a result, you have to learn some stuff the hard way by struggling with error messages (for example how to set up library references in netbeans when creating Application Clients or how to edit the build.properties before using ant to create JMS resources etc are not mentioned)
In the preface you get a 'road map' diagram to help you 'navigate' through the tutorial. But that doesn't tell the whole story.For example the diagram doesn't really tell you that to learn about Message driven beans (which is around the in the middle of the book) you should very first learn JMS( which is near the end of the book) Too many forward references makes this very difficult to use.

I am not saying it is completely useless. With a little pain and some googling you can stumble through this stuff very slowly. But it just could be an awful lot better.

Sun says they have simplified JEE so much with version 5. If that is so why can't they write a complete tutorial that readers new to JEE can read and work through step by step? The biggest criticism leveled against JEE is that it is too complex. By writing a better tutorial Sun can go a long way towards making JEE easier to use.
