The Buffered Deitel Shine.
The Advanced Java 2 Platform - How To Program book is an excellent addition to any programming collection.
This book addresses advanced programming concepts such as pattern designs, enterprise java beans, distributed trasactions and java security. In addition, it supplies readers with a very simple, elegant and sophisticated Enterprise Case Study.

This case study is rudimentary for anybody wishing to learn about the integration of xml and xml parsers into distributed java enterprise applications. Furthermore, it covers in great depth the use of mvc architecture and the earlier version of Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE) - this is great for getting a foundational understanding of robust, scalable, dynamic enterprise applications.

I would recommend this book to anybody who has a Java SE How to program b/c it really does compliment it. Furthermore, I think it would be an excellent addition to people who really want to extend their java programming practices with a best of breed programming principles - another deitel classic!

Outstanding Textbook!
I am a big advocate of the HTP series. I've been reading this series since your 2nd Edition of the Java SE. I've also owned the HTP Visual Basic books when I first started programming. I don't think I have seen a better programming textbox on how to learn any language the `proper` way. It is because of the HTP series that with just an A.S. CIS degree, I am currently in a 6 month internship with IBM Global Services as a Java Web developer. The task given to me has been challenging. I'm responsible for migrating an ASP application to JSP and also developing another JSP application from the ground up.

Waste of money
This book was a text book for one of my advanced java classes. Unfortunately, there is very little to learn from this book. Filling the book up with pages of examples without sufficient explaination of concepts makes this book a complete waste of money. Most of the chapters were rushed, students will have a tough time grasping important concepts unless they buy some good books as well (OReilly, Addison-Wesley). I will not recommend it to anybody.
