    Published by Addison Wesley, "Building J2EE Applications With the Rational
Unified Process" provides readers with a comprehensive view of developing Java
2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications utilizing the best practices
of the Rational Unified Process.
    "My colleagues Kelli, Peter and Wojtek have successfully combined in one
single book the technologies of the UML, Java and J2EE with the Rational
Unified Process and brought them together in the example of an online auction
application, without creating a monster of a paper," said Rational Fellow
Philippe Kruchten.  "I am personally delighted that they have picked the
Rational Unified Process as the basis for the process aspect.  The book gives
a new perspective of the Rational Unified Process and all the activities,
templates and heuristics they have selected.  The book also helps the reader
understand that the Rational Unified Process is very accessible and flexible."
    "By following a complete development example, from start to finish, this
book demonstrates how to use the Rational Unified Process to improve the
quality of J2EE applications and reduce development time," said Eeles, senior
technical consultant, Rational Software.
    "For those customers who are familiar with the Rational Unified Process
but are new to J2EE, this book provides a unique view of these technologies
from the perspective of when to use them, why to use them and how to use
them," said Kozaczynski, director, architecture and application frameworks,
Rational Software.  "For those who are familiar with J2EE but are new to the
Rational Unified Process, the book presents an easily accessible prescription
of how to build J2EE applications using comprehensive process guidance."
    "As a member of a team that creates assets to accelerate software
development productivity, I've seen the power of combining J2EE technologies
and the Rational Unified Process," said Houston, senior architecture
consultant, Rational Software.  "Writing this book has given us the chance to
share what we've learned, and it's our belief that this book will help project
teams develop better J2EE applications faster."
