This book is just another one of those things you could read when you have nothing else to do. While the back cover talks of "presenting JCA Specifications", you need to wait till the tenth chapter to get that taste.
The first few chapters overviews of J2EE, XML, Web Services, EJB and a few on Adapters. Personally, I don't understand why the author did not make these pre-requisites and concentrate on the actual subject matter - JCA. My interest in the book soon vanished as I had to wait till chapter 10 to see the first line of Java code.
Not my kind of book. I wanted to learn the Connector architecture throughly, but this book din't help me to the extent that I expected. There are very few examples. Just one huge application in the last chapter, although referece is made to parts of it in earlier chapters. This application is developed in the last five chapters. Seems to me that towards the end of the book, the author realized that we quickly need one example.
