* The book shows me the J2EE and J2SE security architecture, showing how these architectures relate to each other and how they are augmented by JAAS.
* I feel for the developers who need to build J2EE applications, securely and reliably, the book covers relationship between J2EE and Cryptographic technologies; like Java Cryptography Architecture, Java Cryptography Extension, Public-Key cryptography Standards, Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, and Java Secure Socket Extension.

* This book has provided preliminary introduction to the platform with exploring
the technical underpinnings of the Mac OS X Java implementation.
* This booke is good for new java developer for Mac OS X platform, someone can explore the

Mac OS X application.
* It has covers some recent features like Web start, Speech framework, Web service and

Volume 1 covers java.beans to org.xml packages useful for server side development.
Volume 2 covers java.applet to javax.swing packages useful for developing GUI application.
This is is a review for Vol. 1.
This book is not for begineers or not for learning A Java.This book is a good reference book
for all the java Packages, Classes and Interface.
Packages is useful when you need an overview of a package or what other related classes are
available in a package.
Classes gives complete detail of the ancestry of the class and a list of every member in the
class.This part is useful when you're already working with a particular class and want quick
reference to all of the members in the class.
It has lots of hands on examples, which are very useful for finishing a particular task like,
reading a file, sending a socket etc. like programmers need some basic routines,while coding.

I recommend this book for those, who does professional coding and need to in touch with API.

This book really helps you to kickstart JSP and Struts based development,
This book covers following issues
- an overview of web programming with JSP and Servlets.
- Struts Framework.
- a range of basic techniques for handling the client-side of web site design,
which includes HTTP and browser compability,frames,PopUp windows, Page layouts,
the duynamic constructionof site navigation,error handling and logging.
- tecniques for connecting Java web application to relational database, and for
integrating them as part of an overall J2EE solution.
- security and user management,visitor tracking and personalization.
- XML.It looked at the web application framework that uses XML document fragment
rather than JavaBean when passing data around,making it much easier to integrate
with a web services back end.

Many JSP developers will want to read this book to learn about Struts and other
ways of producing maintainable JSP based web sites.

This is not the kind of book you would read from start to finish but as a quick
overview and reference of some advanced topics. Don't expect to become an expert
by reading this book but you will have a good idea what you can and should do with
JSP. Most JSP developers will find something new in this book but some will require
more detail. We would recommend this book to JSP developers who have read the beginners
JSP books and want to learn more about JSP.
