java actually

Hi,
I have been greatly benefitted from the book Programmers Guide to java certification and I have 1st and 2nd edition of the same book. I am looking for a book which is having the same style of writing and focuss on swing, database and rmi. Will the book Java Actually suite my requirement?

Thanks and regards

Hi,
The SCJP book by Khalid Moghul was superb. I just wanted to know how different is this book from previous one and what should be the expectations of one before reading the book.
