J2EE1.5 was recently announced ? Why bother with J2EE1.4 when major changes are underway ?
Because then the book never comes out and we never get any royalties. ;>
Also there's an all but physical urge to heave a book out after a certain point, like the birthing process.
And, the most important reason is that J2EE 1.4: The Big Picture is not about having the latest details. It's about having the understanding of what a container is, what entity beans can do for you, what a transaction is. The version of the spec is less relevant when that's the main goal.
