Building Java Enterprise Applications, Vol. 1: Architecture (O'Reilly Java)

Summary: Now you can make the leap.
Review: This was a timely find - just the book I required for an accelerated introduction to j2ee and related enterprise-oriented technologies. With five years of JAVA programming under my belt, responsible for the java-based technologies supporting our in-house web server farm and now on the doorstep of a j2ee consulting endeavor, I'm finding this book to be invaluable.

Definitely a comprehendable guide, clearly illustrating the implementation of a j2ee project from concept thru implementation. Probably the best in my collection thus far (which includes the latest on JSP and EJB from Wrox, the Core and Advanced from PH and the Sun j2ee platform books from Addison Wesley). Will be on the lookout for the second volume in the series!
