Title: Decent book but too many typos
Review: To be fair, I will first say that this book is very good at capturing a large amount of knowledge related to J2EE, specifically JSP, Servlets, and EJB. However, my general feeling is that this book isn't the best at explaining the concepts behind said technologies. The explanations are not bad, but much better ones do exist (e.g., Core Servlets and JSP...although this book does not cover EJB). My biggest problem with this book is that it contains many typos. In fact, there are bugs in several of the code samples (even the files on the enclosed CD). Obviously, the code was not compiled and tested beforehand. Furthermore, errata listed on the publisher's webpage is suspect.
Is the review positive or negative?
