Product Description
Product Description
This is an exciting new technology that provides powerful and efficient creation of dynamic content. JSP is a presentation layer technology that allows you to mix standard 'static' web content with Java directives. JSP lets you use the HTML you're using today, but adds the power and flexibility of the Java programming language.
From the Back Cover
- The experienced developer's guide to JavaServer Pages development!
- Database access, XML support, JavaBean integration, and much more
- Architecting JSP applications for maximum performance and maintainability
- Includes several complete sample JSP applications such as an authentication framework, an email tag library, and a Database-to-XML/XSL conversion tool
- Make the most of scriptlets, expressions, declarations, actions and directives
- Get under the hood with Sun's JSP engine: multithreading, persistence, implicit objects, and more
- Understand JSP requests and responses—in depth
- Track sessions and data: hidden frames and form fields, cookies, URL rewriting, and the HttpSession API

This book covers the subject well and has got me started with JSP quickly. I have found the chapters to be well organised and information easy to find. Connecting to databases is also covered in great detail. The big problem I have with it though is the mistakes. This book has not been well proof-read with the english text and computer code both containing errors. Even the code on the CD needs correcting in places before it will compile. If you are experienced with Java then you will cope with these difficulties but then again will also be able to cope with a more advanced text!

This is a great introduction to JSP. There are some typoes but they are mostly harmless.
This book covers all you need to know about JSP but some preknowledge of servlets helps. Nothing fancy, just go through some servlet -tutorial on the web and you are done. You need to know the structure of a servlet, that is the initialization, destruction and the doService() method (incl. doGet() and doPost()). That will help you with JSP in general. Because writing JSP code is actually writing servlet code.
The first chapter is just an introduction. If you are in a hurry, you only need to read chapter 2! It shows you how to create JSPs and assuming you know java, you can do some impressive stuff right then and there. But if you want to create custom JSP tags, or need some samples as how to write database or ldap-applications (ie. you are not that experienced with java) then you will find all you need from the subsequent chapters.
Tryly worth having!

Reconsider
16 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
If you're like me and type in the examples provided in the textbook to make sure I understand what I'm doing, then you will NOT like this book. There's WAY too many errors in the examples provided. Not only that but the source code accompanying the CD is also full of them. I wonder why this book is NOT at all like it's counterpart, "Core Servlets and Java Server Pages". The examples and syntax mistakes in this book make it definitley a book, if I had known, NOT to buy. Almost every single example has major inconsistencies. Another thing I wonder is did the authors of this book REALLY know JSP and HTML when they were writing this...and also if the publisher was really so dumb enough to let this book slide without testing out some random codes from the book...
My review is that if you like reading just the book, then you'll be fine with this text, however if you do the examples, then you'll want to return this book. Unfortunately, I bought this book so I'll have to keep it.
Find another book on JSP if you can because this is NOT the one you would want...trust me. And I agree with the few individuals who did not give this book a high rating because they, like me, were the only ones who ACTUALLY read this book...i'm surprised that some of the developers also gave this book a high rating even though they should have picked up on the problems in the code right from chapter 2 of this book.

Needs work
19 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
I would rank this book as mediocre at best. More annoying than the numerous editorial oversights in the text and code (and there are many) are the misuses of terms, both technical and nontechnical. One gets the impression that the authors are trying to write beyond their abilities. It also makes me question the accuracy of the rest of the material when I find such errors on topics with which I am already familiar.
Also frustrating is the way a lot of concepts are referenced before being introduced, with no indication that such is the case. If I didn't already know Java very well and have an inkling about JSP coming in, I expect I would have been very confused.
I was looking for something that would get me up to speed on JSP quickly and not get too bogged down in details, and in that respect the book did reasonably well. But I gave up on it halfway through because I found it too frustrating. It's not terrible, but with a bit of work and better editing, it could have been a lot better.

Examples weren't throroughly tested
4 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
Don't know how this text got past the editors. Just about every chapter had typos and syntax errors. Some of the scriptlets had class instantiation problems that needed to be corrected. There were include directives that referenced code that wasn't included on the accompanying CD - nor shown in the book. The JNDI/LDAP section was a joke and the XML didn't work without debugging either.
For those giving the book 5 stars - I wonder if they tried the examples or just read the text?
