Written with the busy Java Web developer in mind,
Instant Java Servlets offers an impressive mix of hands-on sample code that will solve many common programming problems. This practically minded guide to servlet and Java Server Pages (JSPs) can be a valuable timesaver for anyone tackling Java development for the first time.
Instant Java Servlets is organised as a tutorial with each section framed by a problem, such as how to retrieve HTML form variables within servlets, how to preserve session state, how to re-direct and forward requests, and many other common questions faced by everyone sooner or later when working with servlets. Each problem is explained and illustrated with a sample servlet. Besides the basics, standout sections here include a working shopping basket for an online grocery store, debugging tips and how to upload files to a server. Tips for structuring your servlets to generate HTML more effectively (including frames) provide absolutely indispensable expertise for any serious Java developer. With short, comprehensible code excerpts, this title can save you a lot a time solving common problems. (One slight irritation here is that many of the screenshots appear slightly blurred, though this shouldn't interfere with reading the book in any way.)
Besides a solutions-based framework, the author presents a good tutorial of servlet programming, which makes this text a good choice for anyone entirely new to servlets. Later, a long chapter on JSPs looks at expressions, directives, and using scriptlets and JavaBeans within JSPs. This book closes with several interesting Web applications, which illustrate topics such as image conversion and working with e-mail. With over 100 self-contained sample servlets and JSPs, Instant Java Servlets will be a welcome choice for any developer who wants to work with Java effectively. It's a no-nonsense tutorial and reference that compiles a rich array of reusable sample code that really can save you time when putting server-side Java to work in real-world projects. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.com
