Rick: I believe it is added to make this book useful as a reference material for JSP, Servlets, Design Patterns even after you pass the exam. Filters is an important topic and should not be neglected. Best regards George
Hi Rick, You are correct, currently Filters do not form part of the exam. We decided to add a chapter on Filters as we felt it was an important subject not to include as we wanted to make the book as useful for you as possible after you finish taking the exam. We also are safe guarding our selves for the future, any change to the SCWCD exam (when Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0 is out???) is likely to include Filters... We do make it very clear what is required for the exam in the book though... Dan
