Errata: Advanced Java 2 Platform How to Program, 1/e

We wish to thank our many readers who took the time to email us with errata. If you find errata not listed on this page, please email us at deitel@deitel.com. Remember to include the book title and edition.

Note: You can determine which printing you have by looking at the bottom of the back of the second physical page in the book (page iv, but it has no page number). Just above the ISBN number is a list of numbers. For the first printing of the book, the list appears as follows:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The last number in the list is the printing number. So the above list indicates printing 1 and the following list indicates printing 2:

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

Why can't I get the J2EE examples to deploy/work properly?

The vast majority of the J2EE examples in Advanced Java 2 Platform How to Program were implemented with J2EE 1.2.1. There were SUBSTANTIAL changes to J2EE 1.3.1 that prevent many of our J2EE examples from working properly. Unless specified otherwise with the example, you must use J2EE 1.2.1 for the majority of our J2EE examples. You can download J2EE 1.2.1 from the following site:
