Errata

"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
