The term e-commerce encompasses a spectrum of trading interactions from the business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions that facilitate Web-based retail trade, to business-to-business (B2B) data exchange that increases supply chain efficiency. This book shows how the Java platform and Java technologies can be, and have been, employed to develop solutions that address these scenarios. To allow readers to gain a full appreciation of the diversity of topics involved in building e-commerce solutions, the book consists of five main sections. We begin by looking at the general area of e-business and the commercial considerations surrounding such application development. We then look at the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE), XML, and XSLT. Building on this, we discuss the development of B2C sites for online selling and the design of effective portal sites. Our fourth section is devoted to the expanding area of B2B commerce where XML and XSLT are proving invaluable. Finally, we highlight new developments in the area of m-commerce and see how Java technologies can be used to facilitate trading anywhere.

Pity the poor wannabe Java programmer. For a "simpler" programming language it generates huge books and Professional Java E-commerce is another. But when it takes 14 pages to define e-commerce you know a low information density helped it to 1,000 pages.
Much of Professional Java E-commerce discusses management and business rather than programming, despite its programmer-friendly subtitle: J2EE, XML, XSLT, JSP, EJB, JMS, Security, B2C, B2B, M-Commerce. The dichotomy is neatly illustrated in the security section (page 216) where the authors suggest some customers won't trust a downloaded Java 1.1 applet regardless of who certifies it. They recommend providing alternative HTML pages for greater customer confidence. Hardly a Java solution.
The authors describe almost every possible Net and mobile business type, process and opportunity. They point you at useful software solutions and occasionally throw in a bit of Java. But with Java programming playing second fiddle to business issues and prebuilt solutions it's unclear who this book is for.
Professional Java E-commerce is really two books. One is about business approaches to e-commerce with an overview of current best practice while the other is about implementing these practices--sometimes in Java. Despite the high production values the sum of Professional Java E-commerce is less than its parts. --Steve Patient
This book has been designed for professional Java programmers who wish to leverage their in-depth knowledge of J2EE technologies to develop e-commerce solutions, either for consumer sites, or business-to-business scenarios.
