Not bad, but could be better

I agree mostly with what some of the other positive reviews read. The discussion about different design patterns was interesting to read.

However, I did get caught up on the source code in the book. I would think that a book is supposed to be about "best practices" would handle quotes in database inserts/updates. Is it common practice to assume that your form data will never contain erroneous information that will cause your system to fail?

I don't want to harp on this book too bad (many others are worse), but I am still searching for a solid JSP book that has sample code on how to build a solid/useful application from start to finish, while maintaining a clean separation of business logic and actual presentation.
