Hi
Can any one please mention a book on J2EE technologies.

And also whether a J2EE developer should know about various
J2EE patterns, if yes can you mention a book on that.

Thanx in advance

The Proffessional Java Server programming is one the best J2ee books in the market.

Core J2EE patterns by Deepak Alur, Dan Malks and John Crupi is the best book on J2EE design patterns.
