Page 16 makes note that the name is IModelLocator for an interface.
This is then implemented by AppModelLocator, but the leading I is inadvertently dropped from Example 1-9 P17 Line 5

Example 1-24

Why are you using XDoclet style comments to define SQL?
This is so antiquated as an approach when you have annotations, Hibernate, JPA, GORM etc at your disposal.

example at bottom of page

Firstly I'm a bit dubious as to the validity of transferring business rules from the domain model to a DTO, but I can see the reasoning, so you can bind it directly to a UI component. But doesn't this detract from O-O principles of keeping logic in one place.
Secondly, shouldn't the function have a [Transient] metatag, so nothing gets serialized?

In the case of Premium, wouldn't you want a Premium, rather than TrialMemberRenderer?

Third line relating to switcher

You only mention Label, but if the data object passed to the switcher isn't null, then you'd get a TextInput. I'd have thought TextInput would have been more significant than the Label...
(Text relates to Example 2-23 on P101)

Book says, printing gets covered in the last chapter.
Printing gets discussed in chapter 11 (there are 12 chapters)
(Don't you wish you'd taken me up on the offer to be a proof-reader now, before book went to print?)

Paragraph at foot of page after example.

It makes reference to three buttons
Load Module, Modify Content ,Unload Module
1) I only see one button in code of 5-32 and Fig 5-11 : The Run Test one..
I'd hazard a guess you've got a cut & paste error relating to another chapter here.

Example 6-25

Doesn't the RemoteCall class need to extend Serializable? I'm able to compile this class with no errors, but all custom objects in "public List parameters" are of type 'Object' when they arrive at the client, and cannot be type casted to their appropriate object even though the valueObject class for these custom objects has been created on both the java and flex sides.

Example 6-34

The example 6-34, changes the connection to HTTPS if the connection is HTTPS. The surrounding text states that the code should change the connection to HTTPS if the connection is HTTP.

Also, there is a double period on "const channels:XMLList = ServerConfig.xml..channels.Channel;" line.

Finally, the code doesn't appear to work.
The XMLList is always empty in debug mode.

Given example 7-21

Given example is not working as explained in the book. Please look into the issue.
After following the steps given in the book, it still giving same error.

I am not able to justify line "import mx.containers.Panel;Panel; " in the example. Why there is last Panel with import statements.

I added line private var customPanel:CustomPanel = new CustomPanel(); in the given example and it started working.

Example 9-4 (all actually: in section Working With Local Database)...

I know this is an intro... but I'd have coded the SQL to prevent SQL injection attacks?
Can you use named parameters?

If I understand this right you have a air app with 'offline' in the name, which can be used in 'connected' mode only. There's a certain irony there, wouldn't you say? :-)

Paragraph at bottom starting "The title of the map ..."

I'm assuming this narrative relates to Figure 9-16. But I see no such title. Are we talking about the label associated to the map pin here, or some sort of browser title bar?
(ie: quote 'the title of the view' - what does this refer to?)

Point 8 at bottom of page

There is obviously a mistake on point 8. You are replacing one war with another here.
Probably an Adobe one with a Farata one. But you say you are replacing war 'a' with war 'a'. Doh!

Suggestion Why don't you do a Youtube or Vimeo screencast of these steps? and put a link in book?
