I am still having problems getting the chapter three example to work, so I deleted it all and started over. I know this may be silly, but I since I can't get this to work I don't want to take anything for granted.
Page 77, under Create the DD in your Development environment. It says to "create this XML document, name it web.xml, and save it in your DEPLOYMENT environment under the /beerV1/etc directory.
I am assuming for several reasons that this should have been DEVELOPMENT instead. Number two at the bottom of the page tells me to "place a copy of web.xml file into tomcat/webapps/Beer-v1/WEB-INF/.
Anyway I am going forward on this assumption, and will check back later to see if anyone has any information.
The head is starting to get sore........
Thanks,
