Aims of this Book

This book aims to leave the reader comfortable making architectural and implementation decisions about J2EE development.

After working through this book, a developer familiar with the basic concepts of J2EE but who might not have any experience working with it would be confident in attempting a J2EE project. A more experienced architect or developer would benefit from the discussion of J2EE architecture and implementation from a practical perspective. The chapters on project choices, testing and tools might be of interest to managers trying to understand the implications of adopting J2EE technology.
