Lousy. It would be nice if they remembered to include all of the EJB book on the CD. Chapters 3 and 4 were missing along with parts of other chapters. I paid for the whole book not bits and pieces of it. I don't plan on making any further purchases from O'Reilly because I find an oversight like this to be unforgiveable.

Unfortunately, the cd contains the first revision of the Java Servlet Programming text. I'm very unhappy about this because I was primarily shopping the second revision when I happened upon this cd. I wouldn't have bought the cd, if I realized it contained old revisions of the texts.

It was a good ideal to have all reference on one CD, only problem it take so long to come out, and JAVA have been updates since, in the computer world, thing are moving very quick, if O'Reilly can response quicker, it would be very useful reference CD in JAVA world.

Very good reference material, but there are some weaknesses:

  • Graphics are only low-resolution. When printed diagrams can hardly be read.

    (E.g. I'd like to have the swing class hierarchy tacked to my pin board.)

    Maybe O'Reilly could provided downloadable higher-res versions ?!

  • Hyperlinking could have been done more extensive.

  • Search applet could be more powerful.

    When double clicking a search result it opens the page that contains the

    search word(s), but gives you no clue where on this page the word(s) actually

    are. Often a html page comprises a whole chapter, so you are bound to use your

    browser's find function for the same word(s) again...

    Searches for whole words only.

    Excellent

    EJB spec 1.2 is not yet ratified and I believe it will be some time before this happens.

    This is a useful source of J2EE information and all for the price of just 2 hard copy books

    Why didn't somebody think of this years ago. Finally, no more lugging around huge reference libraries. This rocks.

    The EJB version covered in this set is EJB 1.0. How useful can that be when version 1.2 of EJB has been released in Dec-2000 ? I am returning the copy I ordered.




    Media reviews "This single volume, highly recommended, book/cd combination is ideal for the novice Java user seeking a quick start-up and rapid learning curve as possible, and will prove an invaluable refresher and reference for the advanced and experienced Java user as well.' --James Cox, MidWest Book Review, March 2001

    "O'Reilly has done it again: The Java Enterprise CD Bookshelf contains a powerhouse of books from O'Reilly (one print and seven electronic): both electronic and print versions of Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, plus electronic versions of seven bestselling books When I examined the bookshelf for the first time, I quickly noticed that I already had three of the seven books in "paper" editions on my real bookshelf.And another one or two others at work.You may have a similar experience (especially the Nutshells are bestsellers, but all books are considered to be masterpieces in their respective areas).Do you still need the bookshelf, even if you have one or more of the books already? Well, I already had three books, and I'm still very pleased with the package. In short: even if you already have some of the books, unless you've memorised them completely, you may still find a good use in the Java Enterprise bookshelf CD." --Bob Swart, www.drbob42.com, February 2001
