"Mastering Resin is a comprehensive guide to Resin 3.x. Particularly valuable is its coverage of advanced capabilities including XTP, Resin’s XSL and JSP formatting system, and Hessian, Resin’s simplified binary Web service protocol."

It has a reputation for reliability, extremely fast execution speed, and low implementation cost. Resin’s ability to work with other industry standard servers like Apache, and its built-in load balancing and virtual hosting features, have made it a success in both small shops and enterprises.

1.0 out of 5 stars Error! Error! full of Error!!!!, January 15, 2004

By 

andrew bell (LA, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mastering Resin (Paperback)

it seems the 'authors' copied materials from caucho's site without testing anything at all. and they can't even copy things right(large chunks of thing are missing almost on every page) their worse offense occured on load balancing (charpter 19) where EVERYTHING IS WRONG! Have the 'authors' even used resin? Has anyone really reviewed or edited the book? How can so much garbage got published? Jesus Christ will be so displeased to see such a piece of crap was dedicated to him! Richard and Joseph, you two are truly shameless!

The book is not accurate and what it does cover just skims the surface. If you want accurate info, go to Resins web site. Total waste of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars do not buy this book, February 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mastering Resin (Paperback)

This is by far the worst technical book I have ever read! full of ridiculous errors! I don't think a single person proof read the book. Don't get ripped off! STAY AWAY! I would donate it to my library but I wouldn't want the library to put trash on the shelf. My advise is to just read the online docs from caucho.com and if your questions aren't answered there then you should reconsider using resin at all.
