BEA WebLogic 7.0 Application Server Deployment and Administration Handbook

Summary: My search is finally over!!!
Review: After months of my search, I finally found the book written precisely for my requirements. There is abundance of high quality books for J2EE technologies and application server concepts. Although the J2EE and app server concepts knowledge is the first step towards making real time J2EE Enterprise application, the deployment and administration on app server is very vital for the expected success.

I am not sure about others but I personally used to underestimate the importance of this second but crucial step for deployment and administration. And the realization comes only after practical experience.

But what do I do on realizing my mistake? And here comes the role of handbook like this. The book very clearly states the purpose for which it is written. And the comprehensiveness of the information along with the exemplified approach makes it a highly valuable resource for any J2EE developer/architect. Ofcourse, we are talking about WebLogic as the application server here.

If you are really concerned about the performance of your J2EE application to be deployed and administered on BEA WebLogic app server, I'll highly recommend this handbook. I am sure it will play a valuable role in your efforts towards building a high class enterprise J2EE application.

If you are looking for general J2EE or app server concepts, then you should pick up a generic book from the pool of available books.

Summary: Well, it almost works...
Review: Like most WORX books, the information is extremely useful in learning WebLogic, but the presentation and ordering of the information is confusing and barely thought out. All you need to know about WebLogic is there, but it can be difficult to find, considerably condensed, and hard to apply when approaching the book from beginning to end. The person reading this book should have experience writing shell scripts, and have hands on knowledge of both the UNIX and Windows platforms.
