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?

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.

Errata has been published for the book at www.manning.com/deshmukh. Also be sure to check out the author's online forum for errors that haven't yet been incorporated into the errata page.
