Title: Don't buy this book. Stop! I mean it!
Review: I bought the book because of this statement in the review: "A strong chapter here shows how to build an ActiveX component in Java." The chapter they refer to is 17 pages. 6 of those pages actually show how to convert a java applet to a COM component. About half of that is screen shots. That leaves 3 pages of text on how to build a COM object in Java. Wow, was I disappointed! Noone would consider that a strong chapter. Nothing about creating property pages, firing events, handling various data types. I completely wasted the money I spent for this book. Plus, it's dated, since it refers to J++ 1.1. Rats.
