Errata for Java RMI

"There's an awful lot of code that handles the interactions between the client and the server" should probably indicate whose code it is. "The JDK contains a lot of classes to handle interactions between clients and servers" probably works better.

a "This chapter ...." sentence (unlike the rest of the chapter summaries). It's a minor break in the parallel structure.

The rest of the preface is written in first person singular. The how to contact us section is not. I understand it's boilerplate text that gets inserted as a matter of course, but it's still very very awkward.

from beginner to advanced, are discussed here." Yuck. I wrote "All topics, from beginner to advanced, are discussed here." My sentence is awkward, the final sentence is just plain wrong (ain't nobody discussing levels, mon frer).

"After this code executes, the instance of SSLServerSocket returned by createServer( ) is ..." Should say - "After this code executes, the instance of SSLServerSocket returned by createServerSocket( ) is ..."

Line beginning with "BufferedReader reader ..." can be removed

The zero argument constructor is not necessary for serialization in PrinterException (it won't be called during deserialization).

No italicised "Advantage" line for this section

"this(cents.intValue()" Should be: "this(cents.intValue())"

public Money(int cents) { super(dollars + " dollars " + cents + " cents. "); _cents = cents; } variable dollars is not defined Should be public Money (int cents) { super(cents + " cents."); _cents = cents; }

public boolean equals(Object object) { if(object instanceof Money) { return (_cents == otherMoney.getCents()); } variable otherMoney is not defined. Should be: public boolean equals(Object object) { if(object instanceof Money) { Money otherMoney = (Money)object; return (_cents == otherMoney.getCents()); }

Batch file should be - start rmiregistry start java com.ora.rmibook.chapter9.applications.ImplLauncher Bob 10000 Alex 1223

Since the arguments are expected to be name/cents pairs, not name/dollars/cents triplets, the loop in the getNameBalancePairs() method should be incremented by "i+=2" instead of "i+=3".

The author says, "In fact, reset(), close(), and flush() are standard stream methods." reset() is NOT a standard method for an output stream, which is what is being discussed. reset() is a standard method, but only for input streams.

java.io.File does in fact implement the java.io.Serializable interface, contrary to what the book says. AUTHOR: Actually, I don't say that File isn't serializable. I say that the serialization of File is not at all obvious. Nonetheless, it could have been written more clearly.

It says that arrays in Java are not serializable, but they are.

it says "...except private, static, and private transient". it should say: "...except private static and private transient".

The sentence "Serializable can frequently be implemented by doing two things ..." should be replaced by "Implementing the Serializable interface is often trivial-- simply declaring that a class implements the Serializable interface is usually all that is required."

Both of the synchronized methods declared in the third paragraph contain an extra closing curly brace. otherOjbect.method2();} should be: otherOjbect.method2(); and otherOjbect.method1();} should be: otherOjbect.method1();

The second sentence refers to "validateAndReturnObject()", when in fact the method is "validateAndReturn()", with an Object as a parameter.

The title bar of the application in this figure says chapter 12. It should say Chapter 13.

System.getProperties().put("java.rmi.serverr.logCalls", "true") should be System.getProperties().put("java.rmi.server.logCalls", "true")

When, on the other hand, un.rmi.server.exceptionTrace should be When, on the other hand, sun.rmi.server.exceptionTrace
