I actually bought the Goodwill book and returned it a few days later. (It

through the first few chapters. I decided to save my money and get a better
book later.

The Goodwill book clearly got rushed to market without adequate editorial
care. It claims to use 1.1 in the examples, but there are so many serious
inconsistencies between the text and examples that 1.1 must have been
last-minute addition.
I saw this book in the UK at Digital Art Worlds 9th November 2002. It was definitely rush released. It is was missing the state-of-the-art no dyna beans, no sub application ( ie modules ). Not enough information compared to what we could see from Chuck Cavaness as a TheServerSide.com pre-release.
BTW: Is the Chuck's book release in the USA. I enquired in London at the PCBookshop.co.uk and they saw December release, which is just as well. -- Peter Pilgrim ServerSide Java Specialist My on-line resume and for interview videos about myself, J2EE Open Source, Struts and Expresso. || \\===> `` http://www.xenonsoft.demon.co.uk/no-it-striker.html '' -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
