Excellent J2EE Review For Advanced Developers

I hesitated to buy this book after reading other people's reviews, but I finally got it and thought it was quite impressive. The newest version covers up to J2EE 1.4. There is a simple code example for each pattern that clarifies the meaning. There is an excellent chapter dedicated to Java Connector Architecture 1.5. I've been reading this book at work as I wait for my slow computer to deploy applications to WebSphere, and it seems highly relevant. You should definitely read other books to become an architect, as I have done. I've basically read the other top-selling architecture books before this one. You should also read specific books on security and internationalization. I didn't see many bugs other than a few misworded practice questions. It's definitely worth the time and money.
