The book assumes a much higher level of proficiency than I expected. It really (especially)glossed what it takes to set up the run time web server environment (setting up Tomcat server, etc.) A page or two of step-by-step instructions on what the CLASSPATH needs to look like and the Apache directory structure should look like would have saved me countless hours and emails. I realize there are web sites out there on Tomcat and it really isn't the focus of the book but in order to run the examples one shouldn't assume a familiarity. Authors forget that many folks are learning this without the benefit of an expert nearby.
