Very dissapointedI preordered this book believing the editorial note "Scott Hawkins starts where the documentation leaves.." What a bunch of bs. This book is really bad. I doesn't give anything useful that is not in the excellent WebLogic docs. Don't waste your money in this book. Many issues are cover with WebLogic v6.1. And clearly he used a v7 beta.
I'll stick to the WebLogic docs and forums.

Good for pure WLS AdminsThis is a really good book for administrators. It covers all the nitty-gritty in configuring the WLS Server - and all the different options such as clustering, security, failover, etc.
It absolutely does not talk about development. So if you are a pure developer then don't buy the book, because you will not benefit much.
I give it 3 stars only, because I think it is good, but not perfect. There are better ways to explain tough concepts such as clustering.
Enterprise Java: Where, How, When (And When Not) to Apply Java in Client/Server Business Environments (Java Masters)

Enterprise Java has a potentially misleading title: While the book does a good job of explaining the fundamentals of the Java programming language, it does little to illuminate the packages of the Enterprise Java family. Opening with a square-one explanation of how to install the Java Developer's Kit (JDK), most of this book is taken up by elementary Java tutorials, data types, conversions, operators, and the like. The guide provides a general discussion of object-oriented programming and includes a brief chapter on integrated development environments for Java. The authors do get somewhat deeper into the language and cover some of the java.net.* classes.
The biggest piece of true Enterprise Java here is the chapter on Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), which includes an application programming interface (API) reference and some code samples. (There's no companion disk.) CORBA gets a little bit of attention, too. The concluding chapters on the network computer reflect a broad view of Java in an organizational setting, but don't provide much information about the Java language.
Average review score:
Promises on back cover not fulfilledI trusted the description on the back cover telling that I would know when to apply (or not) certain techniques on real-life, enterprise cases, but when I purchased it, and unwrap the plastic cover, I found a lot ot chapters with basics, as installing the JDK, and basics on Java. Gives sneaks into all main issues (JDBC, Threads, etc), but it's not worth the money I paid for it. Not for "IS professionals" but a piece for fast-learners, although newbies.
lackluster - others are betterAlthough I didn't read the whole book in depth, I've at least scanned most of it, and - frankly - I was disppointed. The book is more for the beginner than for the experienced programmer. And for the beginner (and the experienced programmer too) I've found other books (e.g. Eckel's excellent "Thinking in Java") to be both more detailed AND easier reading. In short - it's not that this book is bad - just that others are much better.

Although JavaBeans are most commonly associated with visual user-interface components on the client side, they can also provide the infrastructure for distributed applications across the enterprise on the server. Mark Watson's Creating JavaBeans is a short, effective tutorial for quickly learning JavaBeans development for distributed systems. The author clearly introduces the basics of simple beans, including topics such as the Java Developer's Kit (JDK) 1.1 event model. The middle section of the book describes how to create JavaBeans for networked and distributed applications and includes sample beans for database access, a mail client, and a Web search application. Although the content in this section is not exhaustive, the source code is useful. The author finishes the book by directly taking on distributed computing with examples such as code for socket programming in Java (a hard-to-find topic); a bean using Remote Method Invocation (RMI); and a sample using CORBA, the industry-standard component protocol from Unix. This text offers a snapshot of where Java is in the world of distributed applications, a good introduction to JavaBeans, and some useful code. Creating JavaBeans can give more advanced Java developers a jumpstart into an exciting area of systems design where Java is likely to become a key player in the very near future.
Average review score:
Missing conceptsThe auther does provide some nice examples of Java Beans - just about half of the book consists of program listings.
Unfortunately, he has absolutely no concept whatsoever concerning just WHAT he wants to tell the reader, or HOW he wants to make himself clear.
After having read the first fifty pages (called "introduction" by the author), you may well ask yourself one question: "Excuse me? What was this all about?"
Do yourself a favor, and read J.Feghhi's grossly mistitled book "Web Developer's Guide to Java Beans" instead - an excellent introduction to beans programming, and a terrific comparison between Beans, DCOM, and CORBA.

A basic book for distributed systems and digital transmissionServes a good source of info for distributed systems and
networks, in general. Also has several interesting issues
in various chapters especially for LANs, Distributed System Management and most importantly( as far as I am concerned)
a real good one for RPCs.

Very disappointing Object-Oriented bookI thought this book would give revolutionary ideas on how to use object-oriented techniques to help my day-to-day programming life, but I was badly mistaken. There is only a few chapters on actual object-oriented programming but it does not use real world examples. The rest of the book is a badly written explanation of Delphi, which there are several other books which explain it much better.

Did they accidently put out a beta release?This book frustrated me. It had typos everywhere, improper grammer and incorrect code samples. That was my main problem with this. Although the author states that he's had many students review this over two years, he should've looked it over more than once. Maybe I should be a book editor with all of the errors I caught! I don't think this book should have been published in its current state... ESPECIALLY at $70 for a paperback. The organization of the book seemed choppy. I personally would have had RMI and CORBA back to back as competing remoting technologies, and then have the two Internet-related chapters together.
As for content: this book was good for learning basic network programming, RMI, CORBA, and Servlets. All through the book, the author makes numerous references to other RFCs and web sites for further details. This book was itself such an introductory text, I wonder why print it at all, if all of these sources are availalbe for free online (again, $70). For a book just published, it was disappointingly weak in the JSP and Web Service areas which are the major distributed computing technologies emerging today (for Java, at least)! The author also seemed ignorant of the web service basics (which might be why he said little about it) and just gave a description of a SOAP message (incorrectly on some points: an xml namespace is NOT simply the company name).
If this wasn't for a required class, I'd surely return it! If you want to learn how to do sockets and internet programming, my old "Java Network Programming" book by Hughes, Merlin, and Conrad was much better. If you want to do remoting technologies, there is an O'Reilly book on RMI. If you want to do web services get a book on that. To the publisher: if you pay me, I'll edit your books for you.
I'm sure I could go on more but I'll stop here. I'll say, "thumbs down." My two cents.
Distributed TP: The XA Specification
Published in Paperback by The Open Group (01 February, 1992)
Amazon base price: $59.95
Average review score:
Old book which describes a C-like interface for TMs and RMsIf you are interested in the original, "xa.h" interface for DTP, this is the book. The chapters on how the transaction is performed, as well as the state machines, give a good overview of the XA process. However, if you want to actually implement the services in a network you will need a different book.
