Product Description

This book methodically teaches all of the skills necessary for developing a commercial website using servlets and JavaServer Pages. These skills include working with HTML, HTTP, servlets, JSP, sessions, cookies, JavaBeans, SQL, JDBC, connection pooling, JavaMail, SSL, security, and XML. Unlike many of the competing books, this book provides detailed coding examples for working with Tomcat, one of the most popular servlet and JSP servers, and MySQL, one of the web's most popular database servers. A great book for any Java programmer. Includes CD-ROM.

Excellent book for the subject, August 22, 2008
I used this book as the text for a course in applied client/server computing. This book passed the test: I would definitely use it again.

The 'alternating page' format that the authors use is unique. It makes the information in the book very easy to absorb: description on the left page, code example on the right page. It's so simple and so effective it makes me wish I'd thought of it first. ;) And even with so many code examples, I don't recall finding a single error.

This is a wonderful, no-fluff, down-to-business, practical introduction to the subject. The authors carefully guide the reader through installation of all the tools needed to start writing servlets and JSPs. This book requires that the reader already have a decent understanding of Java.

Great job, Andrea and Joel.

A must read book, December 07, 2007
This is a great book! It starts from very basic structure of web applications with examples and builds upon that to creation of an actual web application. Of course, I am assuming you know HTML. You also need to know some Java or other programming languages that helps you pick up Java quick. Here is the simple idea, you write your program with Java and then using JSP, Servlets and J2EE make that appliaction a web application. Of course don't get scared by these topics and titles. Simply start reading this book, then you get a better idea if you need to put this book on hold while you are learning Java before tackling the rest. Normally the first 4 chapters are very easy to follow if you know HTML and some programming. The rest is not hard but it needs a little attention.
That is where the actual JSP and ... starts!! It is a lot of fun!!

Thank you Murach

The Best for Understanding JSPs and Servlets, May 19, 2007
Thank you to the authors. This book is simple to follow, precise and complete. I own the Wrox and OReilly JSP books but both of those give incomplete examples in critical portions of the book.

For easy to follow, complete, working examples with full explanation, this is the book.

Needs a new revision, May 08, 2007
I bought this because Amazons pairing system linked this book to a JDK6 book with a publication date of 2007. This book was published in 2003! That'll teach me to check the publication date of the links.

This book is fine if you are still using Tomcat 4.1 as a release enviroment for your web apps. If you are like the rest of the world and have moved on to Tomcat 5 or 6, then forget it. This means the 2.1/1.2 Servlet/JSP specs rather than the 2.5/2.1 spec. From 1.2->2.1 there have been some powerful additions to the tagging which you obviously won't find any info on in here.

I'll give the book 2 stars as it is well laid out, thought there are a few niggles where the content is wrong, but nothing major.

A good training book, April 11, 2007
This is a perfer training book for Java servlet.
It is very helpful for any level's user.
