JavaServer Pages

The Barnes & Noble Review
This is JSP 2.0 for the real world: all the JSP you re likely to need.

Hans Bergsten introduces each JSP feature carefully and accurately: everything from retrieving user input to accessing JavaBeans components. You ll learn good JSP practices (for instance, how to promote reusability). And you ll find plenty of examples: database integration, authentication, personalization, caching, you name it.

Many examples -- such as XML processing -- use JSTL. Often, these replace custom components presented in earlier editions. That s no coincidence: Bergsten s examples helped shape the standard.

Since not everything s in JSTL, Bergsten explains custom component development. He wraps up with integrating JSP and other Java technologies, notably Struts. Bill Camarda
