Code Error in JSF In Action

[Gregg Bolinger]

Kito, I don't know how to get in contact with you but since you are monitering this forum this week, I thought this was as good a place as any. I found a slight error in some of the sample code in the book and thought that since the book isn't printed yet, maybe it could be fixed. I think this would cause some confusion...

In Chapter 13 page 547 you have the following line:

getApplication().createValueBinding("#{" + Constants.VISIT_KEY_SCOPE + 
Constants.VISIT_KEY + "}").setValue(facesContext, visit);

Which should be (I have bolded the addition)

getApplication().createValueBinding("#{" + Constants.VISIT_KEY_SCOPE + [B]"." +[/B]  
Constants.VISIT_KEY + "}").setValue(facesContext, visit);

If I find any more issues, would you like me to let you know and if so what would be the prefered way of getting in touch with you.

Thanks.

Gregg,

Thanks for the note. Actually, it isn't an error, because VISIT_KEY_SCOPE already has a period at the end:

  public final static String VISIT_KEY_SCOPE = "sessionScope.";

I can see how it might be confusing, though.

In the future, you can email me directly: [e-mail]. Once the book is in print, I'll also be available in the Manning author online forum.

Ahh, see, so the typo was my problem because I didn't enter it with the "." in my Constants class.
