(Disclaimer: Antonio asked me to write his book's foreword)
The book has been available since May so it's lacking some EE 6 content
like managed beans, servlet 3 or CDI. Antonio (well the editor really)
is planning a second edition by June I think. This is certainly the
first book on Java EE 6 and it's great to have it feature GlassFish v3.
The reviews I've seen are pretty good.
The source code for the book is being updated at :
