Hi Joel and good luck with the book.

I noticed from looking at the web.xml in the 'look inside' part of the book that you're using Servlets 3.1.

Do you cover the differences between this version and Servlets 3.0 in the book and is the case study relevant to 3.1?

Thanks Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

In short, no, we don't really cover the differences between servlets 3.0 and 3.1, and the case study should run equally well with either. The goal of the book is just to teach the basics of working with servlet/JSP to someone who is completely new to it, and I don't think the differences between the servlet 3.0 and 3.1 specifications aren't relevant to the target audience.

Thanks,

Joel
