Acknowledgments
I have to think Mike Loukides and Kyle Hart, my right-hand man and woman at O’Reilly, for helping guide a very difficult book to its end. The first words of this book were actually written in November of 1999 (yes, you read that right!), so it’s been a long time coming. Thanks also to Diana Reid at BEA for support and much-needed help on getting things running with BEA Weblogic.
I’d be in a heap of trouble without the support of my extended family: Gary and Shirley Greathouse, Quinn and Joni Greathouse, Larry and Judy McLaughlin, Shannon McLaughlin, and Sarah Jane Burden. Also to Laura and Laura Jordan, who made me an uncle with the addition of little Nathan (Nate to those who he drools on), who provided much-needed laughs when things got tough. I love all of you.
Of course, the biggest debt of gratitude lies with my wife. She simply makes life worth getting up for, never complains (too much) when I work long hours, and is always excited when I finish even though she has no idea what all this Java stuff is about. And, as if all that isn’t enough, in June she’s giving me a baby boy! If I take longer to answer mail this summer (2002), it’s only because I’m learning to be a daddy with little Dean, my upcoming first child. Can you tell I’m excited? I love you Leigh and Dean (one day he’ll realize this was the first time his name was in print).
Again, to the Lord who got me this far: Even so, come Lord Jesus.
