Summary: Outdated
Review: Basically this is the only book available that deals with EJB and Oracle Application Server. But the book is outdated. Basically handles only EJB1.0 spec, so the deployment descriptors are old. It does not cover Entity Beans. So if you are using Oralcle 8.1.7 or Oracle 9 i App Server, this book is out dated for you. The flow of topics could have been better. Any way we dont have much choice, as this is the only book on this topic.

Summary: Outstanding Book
Review: Geared towards Java programmers that need to access an Oracle database, this book starts with well explained concepts of what components are all about, and slowly and surely takes the reader to distributed objects using EJB and CORBA as well as JSP client-side applications that can use EJB and CORBA components. More importantly, the book allows readers to learn both JDBC and SQLJ. Very informative for Oracle DBA who needs information regarding EJB and CORBA components that can reside in an Oracle8i database. Note also, that java code presented are JDK1.x and JDK1.2 compatible. I strongly recommend this book.

Summary: Excellent Book for Database Component-based Applications
Review: I just purchased the Oracle8i Java Component book. This book is a real asset for a nay serious Java programmer that wishes to learn how to develop component-based applications using JDBC and the new kid on the block : SQLJ. Caution. Do not go too fast into the book; it covers fundamental concepts and high-level applications in Java. I can only diggest a few chapters at a time. It's an excellent tutorial and an excellent reference manual for Oracle DBAs as well as Oracle application Developers. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Excellent book, indeed
Review: I recently attended the Oracle OpenWorld 2000 in San Francisco. Before I left on Friday, I bought the Oracle8i Java Component Programming book. Anybody who is seriously interested in building components using Java (JDBC and SQLJ implementations) must get this book. The book teaches you step-by-step, via real-world applications, how to build server-side components that can live in an Oracle database (release 8.1.5,8.1.6, and 8.1.7) and client-side components that can live anywhere on a network. The authors did a wonderful job. Readers who appreciated the Oracle8i SQLJ Programming book as well as other readers interested in building components to access databases, in particular the Oracle database, should get this book.

Summary: Highly Professional Book
Review: Last year, I found the Oracle8i SQLJ Programming book (by Morisseau-Leroy, Solomon, and Momplaisir) while surfing for a book on SQLJ. I must say that the Oracle8i SQLJ book is an excellent book indeed, and the ONLY worth reading book on SQLJ. When, I saw on amazon.com the advertising about the Oracle8i Java Component Book (by the same authors), I quickly purchased it. So far, I have read the first three chapters. The first chapter two chapters introduce the concepts ofcomponent-based applications using JDBC and SQLJ and Web applications, while the third one takes you straight in EJB. A note of caution, the Oracle8i Java Component Book is an advanced book on component concepts and assumes that the reader knows SQL, PL/SQL, Java, JDBC, SQLJ, and Oracle database. Extremely informative. I strongly recommend this book.

Summary: An excellent book
Review: This book has nothing to do with Oracle. If you are looking for the explanation of EJB, CORBA AND JSP buy separate books about those topics. This one just explaines above technologies in general terms without any link and relation to Oracle8i database. Don't get confused by a title. You WILL NOT find there a topics explaining: - what is Oracle's Java strategy; - how to write java application for Oracle database; - what does Java bring to Oracle database;Try to avoid this book

Summary: An Avoidable Book
Review: This book is a pathetic attempt at providing information on Java side of Oracle8i. It does complete injustice to its title. One has to search hard to find as to what is there in this book about Oracle8i with regards to Java. Rather this book is a mediocre introduction to HTML, Web, EJB, CORBA, JSP and so on. There are outstanding books on each of these topics. I wonder if the authors and the publisher chose this title to gain entry into the otherwise saturated market for books on Java. If you are planning to buy this book , wait until the price drops down to $5.0 a piece. I am returing mine for a refund.

Summary: A truly outstanding book.
Review: This is a truly outstanding book on Enterprise JavaBeans, CORBA, and JavaServer Pages as they appear in the Oracle8i environment. However, this book is written so as to be useful in other environments as well. The treatment in this book is based on the presentation of detailed and clearly written examples that teach the reader how to implement and use the Java components. The book starts out with two clearly written chapters that introduce distributed components and Web processing, respectively. This is followed by three chapters on EJB, four chapters on CORBA, and three chapters on JSP. The book is filled with necessary information on how to work with the Oracle8i implementation of CORBA, EJB, and JSP, including information on caveats and bugs that you won't find in the manuals. According to her author bio, Julie Basu is the person who actually implemented the Oracle8i version of JSP, so that we are getting the information straight from the horse's mouth. If you want to avoid frustrating hours spent in trying to use these systems on Oracle8i, I highly recommend buying this book.
