If you think that you've found an error in this book, please let us know about it. You will find any confirmed erratum below, so you can check if your concern has already been addressed.
On page 64:
Your example Java code uses a the classic non-generified version of getBean() method of the BeanFactory class:
Oracle oracle = (Oracle)factory.getBean("oracle");
Since the book is about Spring Framework 3, it would be more relevant if you demonstrate the generified version of the APIs as follows:
Oracle oracle = factory.getBean("oracle", Oracle.class);
On page 69:
In the example code listing 4-20 the line ctx.load("classpath:app-context-xml.xml"); should be ctx.load("classpath:META-INF/spring/app-context-annotation.xml"); or else the code does not work.
