getHeaders(s) or getHeaderValues(s)?

[Bruce Jin]

my Servlet 2.3 API only lists request.getHeaders() but one of my book (Deshmukh SCWCD study) only lists request.getHeaderValues().
Is the book wrong?

[Anthony Villanueva]

When in doubt, check the specs

SRV.4.3 Headers
A servlet can access the headers of an HTTP request through the following methods of the HttpServletRequest interface:
• getHeader
• getHeaders
• getHeaderNames
The getHeader method returns a header given the name of the header. There can be multiple headers with the same name, e.g. Cache-Control headers, in an HTTP request. If there are multiple headers with the same name, the getHeader method returns the first head in the request. The getHeaders method allows access to all the header values associated with a particular header name, returning an Enumeration of String objects.

Thanks.
It looks like my book is wrong.
