The result.jsp file is missing from the source.zip file in the examples download
section of the web site for this book.
The readme file directs the reader to this zip file.
If this (and other .jsp) files are to be found elsewhere,
they should be documented as such in the readme file.

Table 4-8 says that path must begin with a "/" character
but the example given has a path without that character,
namely, "viewsignin".
So, is the example wrong, or is the statement that slash
is required wrong??

Table 4-8, paragraph for "path" attribute |
The final sentence reads, "This attribute is required and must begin with a '/'
character".
The following example of a "global-forwards" element contains a child "forward"
element with a path that violates this statement.

Table 4-8 |
In the row about the contextRelative attribute,
"Set to true to indicate that the resource specified in the path attribute should be
interpreted as application-relative if the path starts with a "/" character."
should read
"Set to true to indicate that the resource specified in the path attribute should be
interpreted as context-relative if the path starts with a "/" character."

Table 4-9 |
In Table 4-9 under the entry for input, you claim that input is required "if the name
attribute is specified"; however, your struts-config.xml file for the banking example
has several entries with name but without input (e.g., /getaccountinformation).

<action path="/signoff" section |
The element
<action
path="/signoff"
type="com.oreilly.struts.storefront.security.LogoutAction"
scope="request"
validate="false"
input="/security/signin.jsp">
The scope, input and validate tags are extraneous.
It should be:
<action
path="/signoff"
type="com.oreilly.struts.storefront.security.LogoutAction">

Example 5-4 code block |
Towards the end of the processLocale method is the code:
// If the Locale was never added to the session or it has changed, set it
if (sessionLocale == null || (sessionLocale != requestLocale) ){
// Set the new Locale into the user's session
session.setAttribute( Action.LOCALE_KEY, requestLocale );
}
The test condition always evaluates to true because sessionLocale != requestLocale is
always true since you are comparing reference equivalency and not object equivalency.
Therefore the user's locale is being set with each request.
Therefore:
if (sessionLocale == null || (sessionLocale != requestLocale) )
should be changed to:
if ( sessionLocale == null || (!sessionLocale.equals(requestLocale)) )

PURCHASE ORDER DDL |
The footnote claims that the DDL has been tested on Oracle 8.1.7 however the DDL
creates a table with a column type of timestamp. There is no datatype timestamp in
oracle and a date type should be used instead. This should probably be added to the
footnote.

all references to validation-rules.xml should be validator-rules.xml
Also, it appears as thogh the 1.1 DTD has been deprecated and they are reverting back
to 1.0.

The line which reads:
<!ELEMENT field (msg?, arg0?, arg1?, arg2?, arg3?, var*)>
should read:
<!ELEMENT field (msg | arg0 | arg1 | arg2 | arg3 | var)*>
The replacement line is sourced from:
http://9780596003289.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_0.dtd
which is what Struts 1.1 uses.

The struts tablib delivered in 9780596003289-struts-1.1-b3 is in
struts-tiles.tld, not tiles.tld
Hence the line should read

Declaring Definitions in a Configuation File
We can specify definitions in a jsp page or an XML file.
The error encounters when u specify defintions in XML file.
Its mentioned in the book that once u specify definition in XML file, the only change
u required to do in jsp page vis-a-vis specifying definitions in jsp page, is
"include directive is not required".
I have found out that one more change is required in the jsp file and that is :
instead of
<tiles:insert beanName="storefront.default" beanScope="request">
<tiles:put name="body-content" value="../security/signin-body.jsp"/>
</tiles:insert>
it should be:
<tiles:insert definition="storefront.default">
<tiles:put name="body-content" value="/index.jsp"/>
</tiles:insert>
