Michael,
I didn't quite get what your problem is...
The link leads to
J2EE SDK 1.3, it does have a deploytool included and that's exactly the version that is described in the book. I tested with jdk1.4, it works perfectly...
The following has to be inserted in /bin/j2ee.bat:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.1
set J2EE_HOME=C:\j2sdkee1.3
(Change the directories' names if necessary accordingly to your own names.)
