I have been working with Des2K for several months now, and there are only 3 books on the market, none of which covers the Web Server in Des2K. For two reasons. One, books go to publishers WAY before they get on the shelf and the Web Server generator has only been in Des2K sinc last summer or so. That version was query only, with promises from Oracle that the 1.3.2 release would have Web Server update capabilities. Two, I'm sure no one wanted to write a book until Des2K Web Server Generator was 'full featured.' Release 1.3.2 has only been out in Production a couple of months. I don't expect to see a book that covers it well til around the end of the year. In the mean time, the help in Rel 1.3.2 is very good. It just takes a few days of searching around through the hyperlinks and printing topics to get a good set of documentation. I printed the help and put the pages in plastic protectors since I knew it would get heavy use.

Bring up the Des2K Splash window and click on the Help menu item. Click on Contents and click on Web Server Generator. Follow all the links until you get exhausted. You'll see there's plenty there.
