As you say, it’s difficult to keep everyone happy. My idea for this book was to summarize the 8000 pages of the entire EE 6 specs into a relatively small and understandable book. As you say, not too much, not too litlle.
Well, I can’t give you all the details of my secret weapon for the second edition ;o) I’ll primarily update the book. Some changes have been made to some specifications, so I need to be more accurate. I’ll definitely cover Servlet 3.0 and Bean Validation. Not sure about CDI because it would need an entire architecture section… I don’t know, maybe just cover the basis of dependency injection.

Great to speak to the author directly!
Great job on the book!
One of the attractions of this book is that it is relatively small. You can’t keep everyone happy.
Are you planning to cover CDI/Beans/Servlets in the 2nd edition?
Actually, what will be different in the 2nd edition and when is it coming out?
Thanks!-Stanley

Thanks for the review. I didn’t want to cover CDI and Servlet because at the time of writing these 2 specifications were going through a big rewrite. Same for Bean Validation that was “officially” introduced in EE 6 a bit too late.
If you think parts should be more (or less) explained, or if you have trouble with the code, you can use the forum to get some feedbaxc.
