A bug in the BulletinBoard servlet prevents the current bulletin board topic
from being changed. To fix this problem, change this line (found on pages 167 and 187):
out.println("<BR><FORM METHOD=\"POST\">");
To this:
out.println("<BR><FORM METHOD=\"POST\" ACTION=\"" +
request.getContextPath() + request.getServletPath() + "\">");
The flawed code can be found on line 93 of the BulletinBoard.java source file that
is included on the book's CD. Alternatively, the patched BulletinBoard servlet can be
downloaded here.
In conjunction with this code change, the paragraph beginning at the bottom of page 167, should read:
These lines of code open the try block and begin sending HTML to the client. An HTML form is created
in order to send the user's selection back to the server. Notice that the <FORM> tag's
ACTION attribute indicates that the browser should post the form data back to the servlet (specified
by the request.getServletPath() method call).

For clarification, the paragraph above the NOTE on this page should read:
This action is similar to the following scriptlet (except that jsp:useBean first attempts to locate
the bean within the specified scope). However, the jsp:useBean action uses an XML format that is
easier to read and more accessible to page designers and HTML programmers.

To maintain consistency with the output shown on page 36, change the

this line:
static final int PORT = 8080; //default port
To this line:
static final int PORT = 80; //default port |
