Τhat is true but its not the only book around that happens to have invalid and bad code..I can mention several other examples .Especially when it comes to the AXIS world where still things are being developed and the web services world is still 'under construction' , then it might be a bit normal. But I agree with you they shoould have tested the code..some of their mistakes in the code are quite...bad. >I hope Oreilly will have a book about Axis too! >They are, but that doesnt guarantee quality. It guarantees some sales regardless of quality, but does not mean that it will be the perfect book. That depends on the authors. Well I tend to belive that Orelliy has more Java oriented books in comparison with WROX and to tell you the truth most of my Java related books happen to be Oreilly publications! I have red 2 other books from Oreilly about Web services (Java and SOAP , Building Web services with SOAP) , they were not bad but a bit abstract in some cases! Anyway its not bad to have a range of available books about AXIS..especially for the newbies.Because right now IMHO,..for the absolute newbie 'AXIS the next generation of SOAP' is the best available book!
