thanx for all the input guys, I reckon I will probably buy both. Neither of the two books listed in my original email have been published yet, I was just doing my homework so long. But I reckon both seem to be pretty good. Well done to the brave authors!!! I WILL BUY

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]> This message contains information intended solely for the addressee, which is confidential or private in nature and subject to legal privilege.
