Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ideal for any programmer working with server-side Java, Marty Hall's More Servlets and JavaServer Pages provides an up-to-the-minute guide to the latest in essential APIs for creating state-of-the-art Web applications. This smart, patient and thorough tutorial gives you exactly what you need to use Java effectively in the field.

While many books on Java try to cover just about everything, this title's focus on what's hot in server-side Java makes this one a standout. The book begins with a very solid tutorial to servlets and JSPs, including important HTTP fundamentals (such as request headers and processing forms). The author does a good job at summarising APIs and common options, which help make this book useful as a working reference, too. The level of discussion here will work best with those with a little Java experience, but even beginners could do a lot worse than this title as an introduction to Web programming.

A great feature of this text is that the author walks you through the actual details of deploying your Web applications (notoriously tricky, even for experts). Screenshots on installing and using tools (such as the free Apache and Tomcat software packages), plus detailed advice on deployment will make sure your code actually runs. (A standout here is the summary of all configuration options available in today's containers.)

If you are coming to servlets and JSPs from an earlier version, this text excels at covering the latest in custom and standard-tag libraries. Besides explaining new JSP 1.2 tag conventions, later sections also look at an important new development in Sun's evolution of the Java platform, the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL). Coverage of tag programming (including several sections on looping) closes out the book. There's also material on important new advances in servlets, such as filters (which allow you to log or change requests) and servlet events (which afford a greater measure of control for your Web applications).

Whether you are a JSP beginner or expert, More Servlets and JavaServer Pages gives you an excellent mix of topics in server-side Java in a well-presented programming tutorial. It's sure to be a worthwhile addition to any working Java Web developer's bookshelf. --Richard Dragan

Format:Paperback
I have to say I'm unfortunately disappointed with this book. I was looking forward to building on what I'd learned from Core Servlets and JSP which was good, but unfortunately the same effort has not been poured into this volume. The first third of More Servlets is a condensed form of Core Servlets. What a waste! The remainder of the book has managed to misguide me to the point of frustration - each section telling you not quite enough about how to do what it is you're trying, as the necessary information is hidden in snippets of other chapters.
I gave this book a 2, as without it there are a few things I wouldn't know. But unfortunately, compared to other Sun manuals, this is of very poor standard.

Good book but not enough meat 3 Sep 2002
By "dean_arthur341" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Good book, easy reading, but not enough meat because examples are too simple. This is especially true if you are a developer hoping to get tips and tricks to solve real problems. No JDBC coverage is the biggest minus point. Cannot imagine any serious Web applications employing no database at all. But, overall, 4 out of 5 stars.

Outstanding Servlet & JSP Book 26 April 2002
By Victor L. Peters - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've read about a dozen servlet & JSP books, and I think this is the best one for readers with some prior experience in servlets & JSP. It is also an excellent book for people who are new to servlets & JSP, but I'll clarify that at the end of my review. The book is definitely worth 5 starts. The first star is for Marty Hall's clear and direct writing style. The second star is for being one of the few books that is currently up to date with the newest servlet & JSP specifications. The third star is for having very practical and useful content such as solid coverage of web application deployment. The fourth star is for being the first book that I've read that has detailed coverage of how to use SSL with servlets. The fifth star is for having source code, sample chapters, and a slew of prequel chapters freely available online.
If you read and enjoyed Mr. Hall's "Core Servlets & JSP", this book is well worth buying also. Be aware, the first 240 pages is an introduction which is essentially a reduced and updated form of the "Core" book. But the other 450 pages is all new and extremely good content. Even without the first 240 pages, the other 450 pages is worth the purchase price alone.
If you are brand new to Servlet & JSPs you may want to first buy "Core Servlets & JSPs" for a slower introduction to these topics. But, make sure you come back and buy this book because you will definitely want some of the updated and advanced topics such as "web applications." Alternatively, you can go ahead and buy this book and read some of the prequel chapters that Mr. Hall has online.
I haven't been fortunate enough to attend one myself, but I've also heard wonderful things about the onsite and public training servlet & JSP training classes that Mr. Hall offers.
In short, it's a great book. Enjoy!

Well Written but Lacks Databases 9 Aug 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is well organized and well written but lacks some useful important stuff. For example, there is no discussion of JDBC and how to work with databases. Well, the author made a reference to a chapter in his previous book Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, but it means you have to buy 2 books. The thing is Core Servlets and JSP discussed obsolete technologies (Servlet 2.2, instead of 2.3).

I think rather than buying 2 books, you'd be better off looking somewhere else.
