The textbook for this course is:
CORE Java 2, Volume II -- Advanced
Features, by Cay S. Horstmann &
Gary Cornell, published by Prentice-Hall.
Volume I of the same book is also a useful reference for
some topics in this course:
CORE Java 1.2, Volume I -- Fundamentals,
by Cay S. Horstmann & Gary Cornell, published by Prentice-Hall.
It's very hard to stay abreast of the latest books on Java. I have found the following books to be useful references
(they are listed in no particular order), however, I make no claim that this
list is, or will stay, up to date:
- Advanced Java 2: Development for
Enterprise Applications (2nd Edition),

(Note that the above two books both contain useful
information, and appear not to be strongly related,
despite the impression that the latter is merely a
newer version of the former.)

There are a host of web sites providing Java resources on
the web. Among them are:
