Product Description
Book Description
Web developers and page authors who use JavaServer Pages (JSP) know that it is much easier and efficient to implement web pages without reinventing the wheel each time. In order to shave valuable time from their development schedules, those who work with JSP have created, debugged, and used custom tags--a set of programmable actions that provide dynamic behavior to static pages--paving the way towards a more common, standard approach to using Java technology for web development. The biggest boost to this effort however has only recently arrived in the form of a standard set of tag libraries, known as the JSTL, which now provides a wide range of functionality and gives web page authors a much more simplified approach to implementing dynamic, Java-based web sites.
JSTL: Practical Guide for JSP Programmers is a timely resource for anyone interested in doing large-scale J2EE application development. It sticks to the main features of the JSTL so that developers don't have to sift through unnecessary details to begin using the tags and working with the expression language. Sue Spielman's straight-forward, practical approach is enhanced with numerous code samples and insightful descriptions to make learning the JSTL a quickly and easily accomplished task.

The biggest boost to this effort however has only recently arrived in the form of a standard set of tag libraries, known as the JSTL, which now provides a wide range of functionality and gives web page authors a much more simplified approach to implementing dynamic, Java-based web sites. "JSTL: Practical Guide for JSP Programmers" is a timely resource for anyone interested in doing large-scale J2EE application development. It sticks to the main features of the JSTL so that developers don't have to shift through unnecessary details to begin using the tags and working with the expression language.

Sue Spielman's straight-forward, practical approach is enhanced with numerous code samples and insightful descriptions to make learning the JSTL a quickly and easily accomplished task. It is written by a best-selling author with a wealth of development experience and recognition in the Java community. It covers the core elements of the JSTL including the four standard tag libraries (core, internationalization/format, XML, and SQL) and expression language. It includes a reference section for all of the tabs and attributes contained in the JSTL, and via a companion web site, provides downloadable code for the code samples in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best JSTL book on the market, 31 Oct 2003
By Thomas Paul (Plainview, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
JSTL provides a set of common tag libraries for JSP programmers. This book explains the JSTL and it does it extremely well. In about 200 pages, the book covers what the JSTL is, what to use it for, how to use it, and gives plenty of examples.

The start of the book covers the basics of tag libraries and explains why we need JSTL. Next, the basics of JSTL and the expression language are covered. The one small flaw in the book is that the expression language could have been covered in a bit more detail. The rest of the book covers each of the tags (actions) broken up into the separate libraries. The core, XML, internationalization and formatting, and SQL actions are each given their own chapters. The author doesn't just cover the tags but also provides enough background information to insure that you can understand how the tags are used. For example, in the XML chapter, the author starts by explaining the different technologies around XML and then shows how the XML actions can be used to simplify the task of using XML in your JSPs. The SQL chapter explains why you would never want to use the SQL actions before she discusses the actions themselves. The book ends with a "quick reference" section.

Sue Spielman has a very easy writing style that makes reading her books a pleasure. Her book is short and complete, a very difficult combination to pull off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slim and Quick, 29 Oct 2003
JSTL is one of these technologies that's emerged and has everyone asking what is it? Is it hard? Sue quickly gets to the point and explains the technology clearly, albeit with the usual paragraphs dedicated to non/new programmers. The book covers the syntax and has good explanations of each library, including custom tag libraries. It's slim and light so you can easily keep this book to hand. I would recommend this book to anyone programmer who doesn't want to part with too much money and needs to know this technology quickly without trawling J2EE tutorials online.
