Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development is a very very good book.
But its pretty advanced.( must read!)
Before you read this book u should be comfortable with Servlets,EJBs,distributed object protocols ,familiarity with RMI,
JDBC,JNDI.and Design patterns.(examples use
JBOSS).
IMO (path)
Advanced JavaServer Pages --->Professional Jsp Site Design (wrox)--->HeadFirst EJb--->J2ee Design Patterns Applied(wrox)----->Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development
