ok, you need to fast forward to chapter 12, and ignore the bit where it
tells you how to use <jspc>. that bit has been cut from the sequel for
that very reason.
Ok, I see HTTPUnit and Apache Cactus covered after Chap 12, I will take a look at those chapters.
From looking at the chapters in "Java Development with Ant" , you have covered
Ant with respect to other parts of Java such as EJBs, SOAP, Log4J, I should make more time
to go over the book. I've been reading so many things like XSLT, JSTL etc just trying to stay up to date with the latest and greatest, and there's still so much I don't know :-( - like JSF etc.
But I guess, I should start reading on an as-needed basis rather than reading
things sequentially, after gaining a basic understanding of concepts.
nobody can keep in their head everything "needed" these days, or at
least the things everyone says they need. I can't do complex XPath or
XSL, havent done any AJAX stuff, and updating the book for EJB3/JavaEE 5
showed me a whole world that I'd been avoiding.
so yes, pick the chapters you think are relevant. ch12: web+httpunit,
ch14, EJB+Cactus.
Cactus is interesting as it runs normal unit tests inside the app
server, sending back the results. which is good for testing, but not
always for debugging. Quite often I create a set of JSP pages with
inline <% java code %> to test different things; each page is a test.
Then I can not only run cactus at it, I can point my browser at it and
see the stack trace.
