Whatever you do, do NOT buy Wrox books for Java Server stuff. They are truly
terrible - littered with spelling and grammatical errors, and hacked about by cut 'n
paste Editors.
Buy Core Servlets and Java Server Pages by Marty Hall (Prentice-Hall 2000), or Java
Servlet Programming by Jason Hunter and William Crawford (O'Reilly 1998).
I used to always buy Wrox books, and would have automatically chosen a Wrox
publication. However that all changed when I purchased Professional XML - a truly
terrible book. I actually managed to get a refund from Wrox Press, and I suspect they
realised that the book was rubbish. However, recent publications are in the same
amateurish vein.
The only decent Wrox books are the single-author publications, notably those by Ivor
Horton (Java).
