Hi,
"The Big Picture" provides quite a bit of information in addition to JSPs and servlets explanation. In addition to explanations of EJBs, EJB and Web containers, services like connection pooling and security, Web services, and the benefits of J2EE, we discuss when J2EE might or might not be a good choice, as well as things to consider when creating the architecture.
The chapter titled "Does a Cup of J2EE in the Morning Always Smell Like Victory" addresses application characteristics that would indicate usage of J2EE.

Thanks,
Solveig
