Very disappointing
This Book is very disappointing. It has over 300 pages, but only about 100 are book chapters. The remaining pages (over 200) are just appendixes describing packages!!!
There are better introductions to these topics in the web, and they are for free...

Buy this one
I liked this book as a beginner to Jini Technology. a very basic starting point with about 100 pages of author descriptions and examples, then several hundred pages of profile listings. The profile listings are very complete and cover everything you need to get going in Jini and J2ME. The examples throughout the book were clear and specific to the points the author is trying to make in each chapter. The personal profile listing in the back of the book is especially handy to have and the book never moves far from my computer - the reference aspect is great. I only wanted a basic introductory book, so I wasn't looking for a 700-page War and Peace type of thing. If you're looking for a huge tome on Jini, you may be better off with another book. But if you're looking for a good (short) basic starting point that's not going to take you a month to get through, this is a really good book.

Good short book, great appendix
This is a great introductory book. Far from being overwhelming, it gives the technical reader a solid base on which to build. The best part about the book may just be the appendices, however. This is the only book where you can get a complete listing of the RMI and Personal Profiles, which is really useful to have around if you decide to go into the subject later on in more depth.A topic I found particularly useful and covered here better than other books is the chapter dealing with different Java Technology environments (ie: application servers, CRM, ERP, etc.). It seemed more real-world than some of the future applications and therefore more relative to what engineers may be working on today. While I wish the narrative by the author could have been a little more detailed in sections, I think the appendices alone make this book worth buying.
