Save yourself days of frustration -- don't buy this book1
I have bought many Dummies books on various subjects and have always been pleased with them until now. I am a web developer and gave up in frustration after being unable to get the first example running. This book has numerous typos, the copy of the Tomcat server included on the CD didn't work, forcing me to download from the jakarta site, the examples on the CD have typos in them, also, and are write-protected in some manner that Tomcat absolutely despises. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND YOUR SANITY.

Did any 'Dummie' test drive this book ?1
Fine intentions but needs to be tested/edited. KIS - Keep it Simple! Code/Examples don't work. Break up each skill into a simple easy to do session with code and examples that work. Why are the exercises mixing in complicated Java pages that don't work anyway! I was so anxious to get a book I thought would be written for a dummy like me but I get a book that requires troubleshooting & cursing. Please post updates/fixes to the dummies site. 1 star is for software, setup instructions, and some good explanations -- but i can't recommend, 'cause i can't use. NOTE: I found Marty Hall's "Core Servlets & JavaServer Pages" is super for beginners or anyone needing concise & working samples.

First Impressions?2
So, here we are at the start of another in the "Dummies" series and I'm left wondering who's the dummy in question.
The book is pretty readable, but you would expect this from the Hungry Minds stable.
However, there are a few errors... And I'm only at Chapter 2.
I will battle on, but I'm left with the feeling that a conscientious editor would have picked up on the bugs in the example code, the directory path errors, dodgy illustrations and the mismatch between the example code on the CD and the text.
Would I buy it again?
Perhaps, but only after a few patches to the original release. ;-)
