That's too bad. I consider your servlets book to be one of the best technical
books I have ever read. Specifically, not only does your book have an
excellent breadth of topics and examples, but it has a depth of insight rarely
found in technical books oriented to programmers. Whatever your next book is,
you can be sure I will by it.
How about a book about using JSP as a front end to a Jini architecture? (It
looks to me like Jini has much more raw potential the EJB.)
