Footnote

Why the odd little footnote that says:

According to Sun, "JDBC" is not an abbreviation for "Java Database Connectivity"?

There must be a story here. Because here is just one example of a Sun page that says it *does* stand for this:

Note from the Author or Editor:
Will should have the final call on this being a true errata or not, but here are my thoughts:

Sun has stated publicly and officially that JDBC is not an acronym for anything. It's also listed in their trademark submission as "JDBC", with no expansion. If they have changed their official stance, and/or submitted a revised trademark, then that happened since the publication of the book, and we don't need to correct it.

Example code under Authenticated Connections

The example reads:

QueueConnection authQConn = qFactory.createQueueSession("JimFarley",
"myJMSPassword");

Should read:

QueueConnection authQConn = qFactory.createQueueConnection("JimFarley",
"myJMSPassword");
