Yep. I understand the Jeni book is not suited as a reference book. But there is a fact: "Better spend a week reading the Jeni book at the beginning, instead of acumulate months trying to find a solution". >> <..snip> Of course the 2.0 features can be used in 2.1 too. > > ...but of course they might be deprecated or destined for it.

He said he wanted to "get the important stuff right from the > beginning..." :-) Not sure, people still write articles related to 2.0 and XSP+Actions. ;-) But if he is looking for the best of the best for Db applications, I recomend CForms+Flow+OJB. This really rocks, but you can not buy a book about this. You will need to be a mail-list search guru in that case. :-D Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
