5.0 out of 5 stars Very intense yet easy to understand and use., October 28, 1997

This review is from: Special Edition Using Java Beans (Paperback)

Here is a book that is designed to allow the reader to begin immediately programming JavaBeans. The combination of examples and source code in the text, as well as the accompanying CD allow the reader to develop sophisticated JavaBean applications quickly and easily. This book does an excellent job of explaining design concepts, methodologies, and uses for JavaBeans, as well as providing useful and appropriate tips and ideas for applications. The book explains the relationship of JavaBeans to different component Architectures, and problems associated possibly encountered within these environments. Some basic programming skills are required to adequately use this book, so it should be considered for an intermediate to advanced user level.

1.0 out of 5 stars Example codes have too many errors, March 18, 1999

This review is from: Special Edition Using Java Beans (Paperback)

I wonder if the authors have actually compiled and run the codes. It simply won't work. Take Chapter 20 (RMI) as an example: 1. In class StockMarket, the line Quote q = (Quote)Naming.lookup("HelloServer"); should be Quote q = (Quote)Naming.lookup("///QuoteServer");

2. Class StockMarket should belong to package examples.ch20.bean, not package examples.chap20.bean;
