This book doesn't know what it wants to be: a quick high level overview of the platform or a more detailed guide.
It is neither. It cannot serve as an intro to Java EE for it misses to explain the bigger picture and drawns reader in unnecessary detail.
And it cannot serve as a more detailed guide as the detail it provides is very patchy and not well structured.
I cannot recommend this book at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must in your JavaEE rescue kit
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2015
I received this book as a part of the now dead O'Reilly users group program. When I asked for this book I was specially interested due comments from my development peers . . . and most importantly because I was in the middle of a Software Architecture definition.

I'm writing this review after 7 months of using it on daily basis, basically because our development stack is composed by AngularJS on the front-end and JavaEE 7 on the back-end (with a huge bias to the Hat company). At the office we have an small books collection (because IT books are pretty dead after five years), and Aurun's book is our prefered book for the "Java EE 7 rescue kit".

If I have to choose two adjectives for this book I must say "quick and versatile", this book deserves all of its fame because it has the balance between a good reference book and a user friendly introductory book, most of the IT books don't achieve it.

I don't wanna copy the index page but I have the following favorite chapters:

Servlets
RESTFul Web Services
SOAP Web Services
JSON Processing
Enterprise Java Beans
Context and Dependency Injection
Bean Validation
Java Transactions
Java Persistence

Most of the book samples are based on Glassfish, and is easy to guess why looking at the publication date. However, talking from my true-heavy-metal-monkey-developer-architect experience, this book uses only pure JavaEE 7 apis and I've been able to run/use the samples on Wildfly without issues.

For those that are looking a good book for JavaEE 7 development, on any of the certified Java EE 7 servers this is a must.
Highlights

Good balance between tutorial and reference.
Few content compared to the Java EE Tutorial but still in the point.
The samples should work on any Java EE 7 server.

Could be better

WebSockets section is small in relation to the other chapters, it feels incomplete.
The cover brings to my mind the good old days when Glassfish was that application server that everybody is talking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Writing by boiler plate
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017
I'd have to agree with Jiri "Look Elsewhere" on January 2, 2015. This book is all over the place. At one point the author discusses very high level topics and then proceeds to dive down and complete itemizations of attributes for variables or annotations. After a third way into the book, I realized that this book was written in a very formulaic manner. You get the sense the author used a great deal of boilerplate and/or copy-paste from other documents.

For example when describing the @PathParam of the Configurator, in the WebSocket chapter, the author painfully describes each annotation with: "The open method is called when...", "The close method is called when...", "The error method is called when...". The author already provided the code to describe this. What these methods do is obvious to anyone who has programmed in Java. Another example of copy/paste writing occurs in the examples. The author will say things like: "Edit the file so that it looks like this."

Sometimes the book lacks clarity. For example, in Chapter 8 Enterprise JavaBeans, the author states that there are two types of enterprise beans: Session beans and Message-driven beans. The following sections then have the following titles: "Stateful Session Beans, Stateless Session Beans, Singleton Session Beans, Life-Cycle Event Callbacks, Message-Driven Beans". Where do the callbacks fit into this?

I really would not recommend this book. I was expecting it to provide the "Why" and the "How" of Java EE 7. This book does neither. It is a combination of text cut and pasted from other sources with a peppering of the author's comments.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very lightweight treatment of the Java EE APIs
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2013
This book provides a lightning quick review of all aspects of the Java EE 7 stack - including the WebSocket and JSON APIs - in about 300 pages.

This is an ambitious goal especially considering that entire books have been written on what exists as a single chapter here. Consequently, what you end up with is a book that is neither an introductory text for newcomers to the technology, nor one with the details required by advanced practitioners.

For e.g., the second chapter discusses all of Servlets 3.1 in 20 pages - including new features such as nonblocking I/O and upgrade processing - without the depth of coverage needed to show how they might be used effectively.

Overall, since the excellent (and free) Java EE 7 tutorial covers the exact same ground and is just as readable, I'm not sure why this book was even considered necessary.

In the end, I rated this book at 3-stars (It's Okay) given that it was well written, and had decent production values (proofing and technical editing).

Best Wishes,

~A_E

2.0 out of 5 stars JavaEE6を熟知している人向け
Reviewed in Japan on March 10, 2014
Verified Purchase
読んだ感覚としては、JavaEE6からの差分を薄く紹介している本です。個別の技術のAPIをひたすら紹介していくので、これを読んで、JavaEE7でアプリケーションをつくろうと思っている人はがっかりすると思います。逆に、JavaEE6を熟知していて、時間がなく、さっとJavaEE7の差分だけを知りたい人にはとても向いている本です。
本を読んでみると、JBossのサイトと（完全コピー？）同じ文章もあったような気がしていて、買ってよかったという気があまりしませんでした。
chap.16（現時点では未読、これから読みます)がサンプルアプリケーションの構築があるものの、あまりにEssentialすぎるな、というのが私の感想です。
