{43}  4th line;
the following line of code

if (message.equals("</body>\r\n"));

should be replaced by

if (message.indexOf("</body>") != -1);

in order to obtain the result as shown in fig 3-11



(59)  4th paragraph;
http://www.xs.iastate.edu/~leavens/foal/papers-2004/barzilay-etal.pdf
should be
http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~leavens/FOAL/papers-2004/barzilay-etal.pdf


[116]  example12-1;
the pointcut:

   pointcut ifJoinPointThisHasRealisticSalaryPointcut() : if (
      thisJoinPoint.getThis() instanceof MyClass
         && ((MyClass) thisJoinPoint.getThis()).getSalary()
            < realisticSalary
         && ((MyClass) thisJoinPoint.getThis()).getSalary() > 0)
      && !withincode(* MyClass.get*());

should be

   pointcut ifJoinPointThisHasRealisticSalaryPointcut() : if (
      (thisJoinPoint.getThis() instanceof MyClass)
	  && ((MyClass) thisJoinPoint.getThis()).getSalary()
	     < realisticSalary
	  && ((MyClass) thisJoinPoint.getThis()).getSalary() > 0)
   	  && !withincode(* MyClass.get*())
	  && !execution(* MyClass.get*());


(137)  1st paragraph;
the text 
"according to whether the proceed() call is made from within the around() advice block." 
is printed twice


{156}  Figure 14-4;
Where the aspect objects are shown, instead of being of type "PerThis" they should be
of type "PerControlFlow".


(170)  1st line;
... mechanisms shown in Recipe 12.1 ...
should be
... mechanisms shown in Recipe 16.1 ...


(174)  last line;
the website for aTrack should be https://atrack.dev.java.net/ and not https://atrack.java.net


(230)  example 19-13;
private Strategy Context.strategy = null;
is useless, and not used to implement the strategy pattern.
It should not be in the example.


(234)  figure 19-26;
the interface CompositeElement extends the interface Element. This is not shown in
the figure. The figure 19-28 has the same issue.
The figures should really show this relationship as they show all the others.


{303}  Code at tope of page - Example 23-4;
Where each of the within(..) statements are made the end of the TypePatterns should
have two periods followed by an asterisk.

i.e.

Where the pointcuts read:

within(com.oreilly.aspectjcookbook.testing.+)

they should read:

within(com.oreilly.aspectjcookbook.testing..*)

This is true for the withinTestingRegion, withinMyApp and withinThirdParty pointcut
declarations.
