Confirmed errors:


(153)  1st paragraph, line 2;
"Classes that implement the ServletContextListener interface.... when the context is unitized or destroyed."
should be:
"Classes that implement the ServletContextListener interface.... when the context is initialized or destroyed."


(156)  1st  paragraph after Example 5.5, 3rd line;
line reads:
getReader() method of HttpServletRequest, which returns a PrintReader that...

line should say:

getReader() method of HttpServletRequest, which returns a BufferedReader that...


{346}  receiveMessage() method;
This method does not work correctly as written because
the connection is never started.  It should have
   mTopicConn.start();
inserted as the first line inside the try-block.

(This is consistent with the registerListener method,
which also starts the connection--see line 3 on page 346.)

The downloadable code, 9780596001520examples.zip, suffers the
same error.

AUTHOR: Not strictly a bug - the example just assumes that the connection is started
elsewhere.  But since there's no harm (except time) in re-starting a started
queue, I added the calls the reader suggests to the receiveMessage() methods in
PTPMessagingClient and in PubSubMessagingClient.


(375)  4th paragraph;
"we have endeavored..."
should be:
"We have endeavored..."


(382)  3rd paragraph;
"This returns the Charles Dickens bookskm..."
should read:
"This returns the Charles Dickens books..."
