Thanks for the feedback Ted. Although we're working on finding out how to submit errata, we do know how to submit reviews on Amazon.... ;-)
We only have one review which has fair comments, but an unusually harsh star rating based on those comments (similar comments about other books being "too simple" still usually fetch 3 - 4 stars, not 2). ;-) Anyway...please be sure to post your honest feedback on amazon (but don't post errata there, Amazon didn't edit the book). ;-) Thanks much.

I've only made it to page 95 so far. I haven't found anything nearly as bad/weird as the 149-150 disconnect. The worst thing I've found so far is the <procedure> entry in Table 4.3 (page 87) telling me that Section 5.5 can be found in Chapter 8. I've been marking my findings; I'll submit them to Manning once they get things situated. With that out of the way, I'm finding the text very readable. I also appreciate the pragmatic advice that only comes with experience, such as the bit about skinny data models. The following excerpt from section 2.3.4 "Separation of concerns" really hits home because I inherited four or five "Model 1" JSP web apps a couple of years ago, and have just inherited another one: "We've all seen the nasty applications with database connections and statements in JSP pages, results being iterated over, and HTML in between it all. It's truly nightmarish." Indeed. Ted On 18/03/07, Larry Meadors <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Heh, I was reading over it this weekend, and saw a good one on pages > 149-150.
