I wanted to ask about the book structure of the J2EE Job Interview Companion, is it a set of randomly ordered questions? is it ordered by category? can one refer to it to study or cover up missing points in J2EE or you can only use it as a questions and answers reference?
In my view one of the strngths of this book is its structure.
All the the questions are categorized with 14 key areas like Java language fundamentals, J2EE specification fundamentals, performance issue, memory issues, best practices, development methodologies so on ..........
It is also divide into number of sections like Java, J2EE, How would you go about.... and Emrging technologies/Frameworks.
Some questions are marked FAQ, to indicate that ther are frequently asked. This is is useful if you are pressed for time.
Also first two sections have key points summarised.
Are there any topics covered on different IDE /Webservers ? and how much importance you think one should give when it comes to technoligies depending supporting J2EE like Ajax etc.
It does not cover any IDEs or specific Web Servers and in my view these are tools. It is impossible to cover every possible question. If one answers the Java/J2EE fundamental questions correctly then should have a better chance at the interviews. Ajax is gathering momentum and worth knowing its concepts like where and when to use it. But I do not think if any one will fail to impress the interviewer for not knowing Specifi IDE, Application Server or AJAX. But I might be wrong.

You said the that book is categorized with 14 key areas like Java language fundamentals, J2EE specification fundamentals, performance issue, memory issues, best practices, etc.
So in these topics you have coverd the entire topic or just touched upon questions that you think are asked in interviews?
