Excellent book - perfect for the advanced user
This is an excellent book for the advanced user. The author assumes a knowledge of J2EE/Weblogic and builds on that. The focus of the book is Best Practises in building weblogic applications and it does just that. The book also lists new features in Weblogic 8. I also liked the example application.

If you are a novice user, then this book is not recommended.

If you have worked in J2EE (and specifically weblogic), then this is a must-have on your book-shelf.

Best weblogic/EJB book available.
Just to be up front, I know and have worked with the author so take my comments as you will.
If you are using Weblogic to build enterprise-level software you need this book. The author tends to stay away from the newer and more gimmicky Weblogic features (workshop) and delivers the information you need to know - in an easy-to-read style. You'd be digging through BEA's on-line documentation for a long time trying to compile the information and experience that went into this book.

In wouldn't give it five stars if I didn't think that it would be useful to every Weblogic developer/admin.

BTW: One reviewer asked why xdoclet wasn't used in favor of ejbgen. While both are basically the same idea, ejbgen focuses only on Weblogic and provides much deeper support and is supported by Weblogic 8.1. Unless your code base needs to be deployed on multiple platforms, ejbgen is the way to go for Weblogic development

Excellent best practice book
An absolute gem of an intermediate/advanced technical book. Practical information on Best Practices, both on using/deploying/optimizing WebLogic Servers and on J2EE application development in general. It covers what the reference material leaves off. There is little cut-and-paste of the specs/manuals to beef up the page count here.
Although there is very little coverage on Resource Adapters (JCA).
