I'm afraid the remark about none of the examples working except a simple javascript in Chapter 2 is just untrue. I have the example from Chapter 3 - which involves a Java serlvet and Ajax - running on Tomcat on localhost on my Mac as I write. I was also able to set it up under Eclipse 3 EE (although Eclipse was and is a fight - if you make a mistake it seems to cache it, and refuse to take your update).
I haven't used the rest of the book, as that was all I needed - I've used Java Servlets before, and I had my own setups, which do not involve Ant. It may be difficult to set up the Servlets if you haven't done it before, but the examples I've tried do work.
I was mildly annoyed by the writer's completely ignoring the Mac as a Unix platform and pretending that IE, FF and Opera were the top three web browsers. Safari overtook Opera in 2004, and has never looked back. And as for Mac usage...
