Here's a key to the markup:
        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


Confirmed errors:


{75}  In the XML Deployment Description for Cabin Beans,
the last two tags in this XML example should be end tags.

They now read:

      <role-name>
<security-name>

They should read:

      </role-name>
</security-name>


[100] The following code:

\dev % jar cf cabin.jar com/titan/cabin/*.class
com/titan/cabin/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml

F:\..\dev>jar cf cabin.jar com\titan\cabin\*.class
com\titan\cabin\META-INF\ejb-jar.xml

should be changed back to:

\dev % jar cf cabin.jar com/titan/cabin/*.class META-INF/ejb-jar.xml

F:\..\dev>jar cf cabin.jar com\titan\cabin\*.class META-INF\ejb-jar.xml

Printings prior to 12/00 already reflect this.


{222}  3rd paragraph (sentence following the sql code snippets);
The client.java file in the cruise directory for EJB 1.1 seems to be the
same as the EJB 1.0 one.

Change:

   Object ref = jndiContext.lookup("CruiseHome");
       CruiseHome home = (CruiseHome)
          javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, CruiseHome.class);

to:

  Context jndiContext = getInitialContext();
  CruiseHome home = (CruiseHome)jndiContext.lookup("CruiseHome");


(394) The eighth line of the third paragraph reads:

"as well"

It should read:

"as well as"


(400)  In the second line:

JAF ... which is "need" to support ...

should be:

JAF ... which is "needed" to support ...


{417}  in the diagram (B-2);
The arrow showing the invocation of a "business method" from "EJBObject" 
should go to "Bean Instance" instead of "Container".

The same error is on page 419 (Figure B-4) but NOT on pages 418 and 420.
