I searched the yahoo group for a few hours and found the following URL
Sun CodeCamp I have only had time to scan chapter one. It looks interesting. This is based on not knowing what
common architecture really is.
Sandeep - They are mostly correct around here about Sun's SCEA Study Guide. The only chapter that looks hard to duplicate with web resources is the one that might be on common architectures.
The book gives some definitions on performance, scalability, manageability, reliability, security, extensibility an availability.
If you can find definitions for these in terms of quality of service then you don't need the book.
One other point the book makes, which is incorrectly published on the web, is about the use of RMI. On the web they often indicate RMI/JRMP is for Java-to-Java Systems. The book points out that you can wrap another language with a JNI proxy.
