FROM THE BACK COVER The ever increasing use of CGI scripts today accounts for over 80% of server side processing. These inefficient, memory hungry, slow processes are approaching their demise. A new species has evolved to take its place: Java Servlets, which are leaner, faster, portable and easier to maintain.
Whether you're an accomplished Java developer or a CGI programmer, here's a book that will ease your transition to this powerful technology. <Java Servlets by Example> explains and illustrates the concepts of servlet programming. With over 100 ready-to-run code examples complete with detailed explanations, it also solves your real-world problems. Each chapter introduces a new server application, then lets you creep up on the solution through progressively more powerful examples. Who knows, there may well be a coded solution in this book you can use the same day you open its pages!
