j2ee 1.3 and Head First book

[Deep Chand]

Hi,

I'm using Head First by Kathy S and Bert Bates. It asks to use J2EE 1.3. But on the sun web site, I only see J2EE 1.3 for solaris. No version for windows. Any idea?

In the end, I installed J2EE 1.4 and made the AdviceBean app. There were few differences in the GUI prompts, deploy tool etc but could build the app except that in the end during deployment, I didn't see the prompt to name it to be 'ADVISOR'. Then after that when I wrote the AdviceClient, i get the following exception during run time. Any help is appreciated.

THanks
Deep

but that SUN One App Server 7 is only for Solaris 8 and 9. That's what the website says. Should I still download that? What do other people do?

Thanks for your help.
