Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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

Product Description

Servlets are an exciting and important technology that ties Java to the Web, allowing programmers to write Java programs that create dynamic web content.

Java Servlet Programming covers everything Java developers need to know to write effective servlets. It explains the servlet lifecycle, showing how to use servlets to maintain state information effortlessly. It also describes how to serve dynamic web content, including both HTML pages and multimedia data, and explores more advanced topics like integrated session tracking, efficient database connectivity using JDBC, applet-servlet communicaton, interservlet communication, and internationalization. Readers can use the book's numerous real-world examples as the basis for their own servlets.

The second edition has been completely updated to cover the new features of Version 2.2 of the Java Servlet API. It introduces chapters on servlet security and advanced communication, and also introduces several popular tools for easier integration of servlet technology with dynamic web pages. These tools include JavaServer Pages (JSP), Tea, XMLC, and the Element Construction Set.

In addition to complete coverage of 2.2 specification, Java Servlet programming, 2nd Edition, also contains coverage of the new 2.3 final draft specification.

I like this book 21 May 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is excellent. I actually own both editions 1st (1998) and 2nd the 1st edition should really be left alone as it is now quite dated but the 2nd edition is perhaps one of the best books I have read on servlets. It has clear explanations and the author obviously knows the subject extremely well. There are a few typos but programmers will spot these and the eratta is pretty good on the oreilly site any way.

for a beginner(i.e me), this book isn't at all intimidating. It's a good introduction to servlets and it has enough substance to last way beyond that stage. Quick response from the author on a query too. Very, very good.

Format:Paperback
There are a lot of reasons to love this book. (1) It is really well organized. As the authors say, read the 1st 5 chapters, then just read whatever chapters you need. (2) It stands alone- it doesn't get bogged down in details, but if you know this book you will know servlets. (3) Excellent tutorials and sample code- the examples are very helpful. I learned more from the RMI code snippets than from other sources dedicated to RMI! (4) Very well written.

I would write more if I had time, but to sum it up- buy this book!

Good introduction to the subject but need a new edition
This book provides a very solid introduction to using servlets, (and to a lesser extent JSP), and if you know some basic Java already you will be up and writing code quickly. Read more
