Celeste- You are right - clearly one of the tenets of J2EE is that it is a standard, so the programs you write on one platform will (or should...) work on any other. Additionally, I have read many of your posts and have to admit that your abilities exceed what you could learn using my book. First off, JWACK is about JSP development and doesn't really go deep into EJB or other deeper J2EE constructs. This book is really aimed at people who are either transitioning from CF to JSP/J2EE, are new to JSP, or simply want to know more about JRun as opposed to other J2EE servers.
There are a few things in this book (and in general) that are specific to JRun as opposed to other J2EE servers. For starters, installation and configuration with external Web servers and installing and using the JRun Studio IDE are covered. The JRun Management Console is covered in depth, that is, as you mentioned, unique to JRun. The JRun custom tag library is used extensively throughout the book. Also, JST or JRun Server Tags, is covered. This allows JSP developers to write custom actions in JSP, instead of in Java using the custom tag API. Many people don't use this, but for JSP programmers who aren't familiar with programming in Java, it is a really unique and valuable feature JRun has. The table of contents is at my site: http://www.drewfalkman.com/books/0789726009/index.jsp I will be posting more information, including a sample chapter or two, but haven't gotten to it yet... I hope this answers your questions...

But it would be nice to have such a book if you are wanting to learn specifics about the server environment. Other than the tag libraries that JRUN packages with their server, and how to configure the server environment via the JRUN management console, are there any other "specifics" in your book that apply to using only JRUN server as your JSP server? Do you have a table of contents that you could share with us, to give us an idea of what your book will cover?

It is based on Ben Forta's book (most of the code examples are even the same so you can even ColdFusion to JSP if you so choose). It will also explain using SQL for database transactions, using JRun Studio, using the JRun Management Console and more... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789726009/drewfalkmanco-20 There are also a number of references to other JSP, Java, XML, etc. things on my site: http://www.drewfalkman.com/index.jsp Hope this helps!
