"Unlike prepared statements, stored procedures and functions must exist before a CallableStatement can be executed on them."
=> This sentence seems to be somewhat confusing; sounds as if CallableStatement would execute PreparedStatement as well

"A transaction includes all of the SQL queries you execute until either..."
=> While it might be a terminology debate, "queries" could seem to indicate SELECTs only.

"A ForkJoinTask has many methods (most of which you will never use), but the following methods are important: compute(), fork(), and join()"
=> This might be somewhat misleading, because the compute() methods are in fact not in the ForkJoinTask class itself, but its subclasses RecursiveTask and RecursiveAction

The example would seem more complete if in class Bar the doStuff(Foo f) method would have a body of calling f.foof(); so that the overriden method would be really utilized

Answer E states "Never throw an AssertionError explicitly" is not marked as a correct answer, yet in the explanation it states "throwing an AssertionError explicitly is considered bad practice"

explanation says: "The variable referenced by f is an instance of an anonymous subclass of Bar..."
=> Should be rather likely "The object referenced by the variable f..." (just as two sentences earlier regarding variable t)

While the explanation seems to be a valid statement, the compilation seems to fail on the first place because of super cannot be used in a static context; regardless whether the method in the parent class is static or non-static

"Not shown is a class implementing class G that actually creates the object."
=> Should be likely "extending class G"

answer B is marked as correct: "HAS-A relationships always rely on instance variables"

"Java 7 with duplication" row "What happens if rain() adds a new checked exception?" case says to "Add another exception to the multi-catch block to handle the new exception."

question 7 is related to enums, OCP objective 2.5, which is not listed beside the answer (it is mentioned at the question itself on page 252)
