Errata for
The Jini^TM Specification, 2nd Edition

Even if you do learn to speak correct English,
whom are you going to speak it to?
-- Clarence Darrow

This page contains the minor errata -- typos and grammatical errors -- in the first printing of the second edition of the book. You may also want to view the errata list, especially before you email us about an error.

You can tell which printing you have by looking at the bottom of the copyright page (the page that faces the dedication page, and starts with "Copyright 2001 by Sun Microsystems, Inc."). The last two lines on this page each tell the printing number.

If you find an error in the book, please check to see if it is already known before reporting it. If you do not find it in the list, please mail us the relevant information, including page numbers. All errata will be fixed in the next possible printing.

Errata for all printings:

• Errata for First Printing (this document)
• (First edition errata)
