Summary: Did the author read this book?
Comment: Ok, I'm only on chapter 3, and I have found many blatant errors already. In fact, I found 2 errors in adjacent pages on Chapter 3. 1st off, session-timeout is set in increments of minutes, not seconds, page 110. There's a complete lack of understanding of the meaning of url-pattern on page 109, where the url pattern is appended to the docBase as the mapping to the actual class file..??wtf?
If the reader doesn't have any experience working with an actual servlet container, he/she will probably just go to the test with the wrong answers. The book is still an OK study guide in that it covers the high level stuff quite well just be sure to test out all the examples and all the conflicting info!

Summary: Horrible structure, wrong concepts, completely useless
Comment: DO NOT buy this book if you intend to write the certification exam. Before teaching you anything it smacks you with a 65 questions 'assessment test' that is as hard as the real exam. That test is supposed to help you identify your weak spots but no where in the questions or answers it tells you where in the book you can read to improve. Delivery of concepts is confusing. Some answers of the practice questions don't even match!
Rating: 2
Summary: Too many misleading errors to be worthwhile
Comment: I agree with most of the previous reviewers of this book: there are simply too many hair-pullingly obvious errors and misleading aspects of this book to make it worth the money.
Don't think that you're going to use just this book to pass the exam. You'll need to use other resources in order to pass the test. Case in point: You *will* need to know about the Front Controller design pattern for the exam--which is convienently not even mentioned in the book!!
