Series: The DevelopMentor Series
This is the authoritative tutorial to the JSP 2.0 and Servlets 2.4 specifications written by JSP W3C expert committee members—Jayson Falkner, JSPInsider founder and WebMaster, and Kevin Jones, DevelopMentor UK co-founder. Servlets and JavaServer Pages™ is a complete guide to building web applications using Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages. The book covers the basics including installing a JSP/Servlet environment on your computer, HTTP, HTML forms, JSP 2.0, Servlets 2.4, custom tag libraries, and the JSTL 1.0. The book also covers the most complex topics of error handling, design patterns, internationalization and multi-lingual sites, security, sessions and state management, database connectivity, and building sites that can produce multiformats of content on the fly. This book explains how to create applications using the Servlet and JSP specifications that are robust, performant and scaleable!
From the Back Cover
Servlets and JavaServer Pages™ is the first complete guide to building dynamic Java-based Web applications using the new JavaServer Pages 2.0 and Servlets 2.4. Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) provide a robust solution to developing large, complex Web applications, including multiserver projects. In addition to built-in security, portability, and a Web server, they offer developers the freedom to work with any operating system that supports Java—be it Linux, Windows, OSX, or Solaris.
This authoritative book begins by explaining how to set up a Servlet and JSP development environment, including a discussion of containers, Java support, and installing and configuring Tomcat. The authors then thoroughly explore servlets and JSP, including significant coverage of custom tag libraries, newly available filters, and popular servlet and JSP design patterns. Readers can then test-drive the knowledge gained by constructing a book-support Web site.
Among the topics covered in-depth are:
- Exception handling
- JavaBeans and the new JSP Expression Language (JSP EL)
- The JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) and coding custom tag libraries
- Filters
- Error handling
- Session and state management
- Security
- Design patterns, including Struts
- Internationalization
- Multiclient support
- Database connectivity
The actual book-support site (www.jspbook.com) features frequently asked questions, working code examples, and references.
With Servlets and JavaServer Pages™ as their guide, readers will learn how to fully harness the power of these flexible Java technologies.
