[André · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reading this book now, 6 years later, it has obviously aged and deals with older versions of EJB, JPA and many other technologies. Still gives a good, detailed view on those topics. With plenty of samples and an application which evolves over several chapters it provides a practical approach and application of the earlier explained theoretical concepts. Any chapter on a concept has the practical coding sample at the end so it's not just dry. 11 out of 13 chapters are very good value and only the two on JSF client and testing are a bit rushed and unrefined. And that's acceptable as these are not the main topics of the book.
