The book contains just 336 pages. This is not a lot. On the other hand the list of topics is long:
<Open Standards Software / Requirements / Installation and Configuration / Application Architecture / Support Options / Database CRUD (create, retrieve, update, and delete) / Object Orientation / XML & XSLT from JSP / Drilling Down / Master-Detail Processing / Security / Tiles / Menus / Content Syndication / Debugging / Performance Assurance / Deployment>
About 10-15 pages per topic, including examples. A very
complete list of topics indeed, but many topic are clearly introductory in
nature. On the surface, this book seems geared towards beginner
to intermediate level developers. What is
the intended readership?

There is a chapter each on Validator and Tiles. In addition,
there is an
appendix on Validator and Tiles (the appendix is just a reprint
of the
web site's by Cedric and David).
The full TOC is on
baseBeans.net / book.
Nothing on Role Based Actions.
I do cover
JDBC DB security realms (JAAS), XSLT, SQL/DB, etc.
I guess in a while
there will be posts from readers who completed the
book. Also
news.basebeans.com / mvc-programers will have student reviews
of the people
who took the class and read the book as well.
I will announce Amazon.
They will cary it for $89.

ps
(Long answer why $89 for
Amazon: A regular publisher takes something
like 6 months to publish a book
and gives you 10% and take all the
rights mostly. So I kind of chose POD
publishing (print on demand) where
only 1,000 copies get printed at a time.
But marketing is limited, so I
have to register the book with Amazon after
they build up stock (vs the
web site that is pubishing it, that can do it
today) which takes time.
My current estimate is that a week after X-mass will
it be on Amazon,
and because Amazon takes %40 cut... prices is higher. They
also will use
a 2nd publisher. That's right, 1 book, 2 publishers. That is
even a
longer story. Once you publish a book you will find all the way's
they
get you. )
