Author Finding an accompanying java book to Objects first with java

Hi everyone,

I am a second year computer science and engineering student in India.I
have just started to learn java programming language.I have purchased
the book "Objects First With Java - A Practical Introduction Using
BlueJ " by David J Barnes and Michael K=F6lling as the introductory text
as I found its approach to be most suitable.
I knew that there were huge areas which are simply not discussed in
this book , including reflection, JDBC, JSP etc.But still I purchased
it because what you lose in breadth you gain in depth of understanding
of object oriented principles.
So I want to purchase another book to be used as a supplementary
feature to cover the topics left aside in the objects first java
book.The books available in the local bookstore here are-
"Head First Java",
"Thinking In Java"(Bruce Eckel),
" Learning Java"(Patrick Niemeyer and Jonathan Knudsen),
"core java 2"(cornell and horstmann)
and "The complete reference " (Herb Scheidt)

All I want to know that which would be the best book out of the above.
The "Just Java" book is not available here and I also want to know
whether Head First Java book contains some text about java applets and
java beans or not,as they are needed in my course study.

Regards,
SS.
