Aimed at Web developers with some previous Java experience, Java Servlet Programming, 2nd Edition, offers a solid introduction to the world of Java development with servlets and related technologies. Newly updated with over a half-dozen new chapters and thoroughly revised, this title brings an already useful text up to speed with some leading-edge material. It excels particularly in explaining how to program dynamic Web content using Java servlets, with a fine introduction to all the APIs, programming techniques and tips you will need to be successful with this standard.Besides being a useful guide to APIs, the book looks at a variety of techniques for saving session state, as well as showing how servlets can work together to power Web sites. You will learn performance tips and ways to get servlets to work together (such as forwarding and redirection), plus the basics of database programming with JDBC to build content with "live" data. A later chapter examines what's next for servlets with the emerging Servlet 2.3 API standard. Importantly, the authors go over deploying and configuring Web applications by editing XML files, a must-have for successfully running servlets in real applications.
Since the first edition of this title, the choices for Java Web developers have grown much richer. Many of the new chapters in this edition look at options beyond servlets. Short sections on application frameworks such as Tea, WebMacro, the Element Construction Set (ECS), XMLC and JavaServer Pages (JSPs) let you explore what's out there for Java developers today with a survey of some current tools that can speed up creating new Web applications.
The text closes with reference sections on servlet APIs (and other material) that will be useful for any working developer. Although servlets are not the only game in town, they are still important tools for successful Web development. This updated edition shows you just how to do it with plenty of basic and advanced tips for taking full advantage of this powerful Java standard. --Richard Dragan

This book explains the inner and outer workings of Java Enterprise Edition's Java Serverside Pages (JSP) as it relates to delivering dynamic Web content. Built on Java Servlets JSP enables Java programmers to produce dynamic Web pages in a manner similar to Microsoft's ASP. JSP has advantages over ASP. For example, it needs to be interpreted only once and runs on server platforms other than Windows.Professional JSP is a big, dense and full of painstakingly precise technical detail with occasional short illustrative stories. For example; the frog in the well. The eponymous frog is the Java VM. The well is the hardware and OS supporting it. In the story the VM is convinced it has plenty of spare resources but, of course, it can't 'see' the OS on which it runs and thus doesn't realise the support OS has none. The result is a stalled JVM with no problems or errors reported.
No previous knowledge of Java is assumed, though some experience of server programming would help. JSP developers need to understand databases, server administration, HTML and any other technologies with which the servlets interact. In practice, some knowledge of Java is also useful as JSP builds extensively on other Java technologies, JNDI for directory access is one. The case studies demonstrate this well. The weather report example requires working with XLST and WML (for WAP) among other, non-Java, languages.
Considering all this, the section on debugging shows welcome realism, "For a number of different reasons debugging JSP isn't easy". Too right. The combination of new and changing JSP specifications with mutliple languages and technologies makes it hellish. Still, if you persevere with Professional JSP at least you'll be in with a chance. --Steve Patient

Aimed at developers with some previous Java experience, Professional Java XML Programming with Servlets and JSP shows how to combine two of today's hottest technologies to create highly customisable, data-driven Web applications. Besides a leading-edge tour of several important Java APIs, this book also contains an effective, in-depth tutorial for really understanding XML.This text's main objective is to introduce a complete "application frameworks" for Java that uses servlets, JSPs, JDBC (for databases), and XML for customising Web pages without changing source code. (This strategy lets anyone familiar with XML, SQL and/or JSPs design new Web pages.) The "soft" or "generic" approach advocated here goes well beyond the basics and will let you re-think how Web applications work. The authors present the basics of each API as they build their solution. There are a variety of easy-to-understand sample servlets here--from a simple phone number database, to an e-commerce shopping cart, and a servlet that incorporates JavaMail to send e-mail.
After a challenging guide to languages, grammars and parsers (the underlying theory behind XML), the authors return to the practical side of things with excellent coverage of several current tools for XML, like Sun's Java parser and the Simple API for XML (SAX).
Even if you don't rely on the authors' solution completely for your own projects, this challenging and intelligent text shows off some useful possibilities for servlets combined with XML. For any Java programmer, the authors' tour of basic servlet development and leading-edge XML support makes for an attractive choice for learning about these two very promising technologies. --Richard Dragan, amazon.com
Topics covered: Java servlet basics, 3-tiered architectures, JDBC and servlet APIs, sample custom framework for servlets, HTML basics, database connection pooling, language, grammars and parsers, context-free and context-sensitive grammars, XML and SGML basics, XHMTL vs. HTML, XML documents, XML namespaces, entities and DTDs, elements and attributes, the XML Document Object Model (DOM), the Simple API for XML (SAX), Sun's Java XML toolkit, JSPs and JavaBean basics, JavaMail APIs, XSLT and XPath.

Wrox specialise in books written by programmers, for programmers. This latest volume on developing Java- based web applications is no different. All 12 authors are developers and consultants--including some who have been part of Sun's own Java team.The Web is becoming more and more a way of delivering applications, rather than just static Web pages. Java is becoming more and more popular as a tool for building Web applications, thanks to Java servlets and Java Server Pages. Professional Java Server Programming is a big book full of code samples and of real world experience.
Starting with a grounding in Web application development and technologies, the book introduces the various concepts of using Java to deliver Web content--as well as helping to give you the tools you need to work around the limitations of Web servers and Web browsers. You'll also learn how to develop complex database driven applications and how to make the work faster. As this is a book on the cutting edge of Java development, you'll also find sections on using Java with XML documents and LAP directory servers, as well as Enterprise Java Beans. There's even a good look at the next generation of Java technologies--Jini and Java Spaces, with a look at how these can be used in Web applications.
This is a superb and extremely practical book. If you're building Java-based Web server applications, this is a book you need to have next to your terminal, if only for the 300 pages of reference material in the Appendices! --Simon Bisson

Advanced JavaServer Pages is a book for the hardcore Java coder, which presents architectural and programming techniques to build robust, scalable applications.David M Geary warns in the book's preface that this is not intended as an introduction to JSP. It picks up where entry-level tutorials leave off, diving into custom tag development and designing advanced application architectures. A driving passion on the part of the author for separating content development from programming underlies the presentation.
Custom tags and templates are covered in depth, illustrating how a thoughtful design can lay the foundation for application development that keeps designers and programmers from stepping on each other's toes. Design frameworks that integrate with servlets and beans are presented with exhaustive discussion and architectural diagrams. Other key topics include the encapsulation of database access and security. All of the code, including a very comprehensive case study, is available on the book's Web site.
Advanced JavaServer Pages is a valuable look at the issues faced by expert Java developers. Proficiency in Java is a key prerequisite to this guide, however, because it is addressed to a sophisticated audience. --Stephen W Plain
