Money Lost!
This book is based on websphere 3.5, you may think it is okay, but things have changed too much from version 3.5 to version 5.0 , it is useless under version 4 too!. In version 3.5 the administration was done using a windows GUI but in version 4.0 web administration was introduced so all menues are gone, the examples are useless!. OK, the desing patterns presented are good but maybe not worth the money.

Great on design principles, somewhat dated at this point.
Since the IDE has changed considerably from v3.5 ( to an IDE built on eclipse ) - this book would really only be useful for learning how to apply good design practices ( MVC, UML etc ) in a WebSphere development environment. For that it's first rate - so actaully 5 stars if that's your area of interest.

Not Worth It
This book had several problems that made me want to put it down. First of all, the organization of the chapters of the book is quite confusing: the different chapters don't seem to fit together or leverage each other. Perhaps due to several authors involved in the book or bad editing. It makes this book *very* difficult to read.It also merely scratches many important details about the WebSphere server. If you're writing a J2EE book, that is one thing, but there are so many much much better books available for that. One that specializes to a single server should show how that server works in detail. This book seems to completely miss its target and audience: neither a good generic J2EE book, nor a solid WebSphere book.
