Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ideal for anyone new to JavaServer Pages (JSPs), Beginning JSP Web Development offers an excellent and thorough guide to using JSPs effectively. Combining a tutorial of basic Java with excellent practical material on using Tomcat and related tools, this book will fill a valuable niche for anyone wanting to build Web applications the right way using some of the latest standards in today's Java.

Learning JSPs today requires not only a basic knowledge of Java, but also practical advice for using Tomcat, custom tag libraries, database programming and other standards. This title distinguishes itself with chapter-by-chapter coverage of all you need to program with JSPs. For those new to Java, introductory material on data types, flow control, and basic class design will help you learn essential Java. The authors also present practical advice and samples for installing and configuring Tomcat (an open source JSP/servlet engine), including advice on deployment options. Sections on database and JDBC programming, servlets and session management supplement the basics of using JSPs with embedded Java scriptlets.

Standout material on JSP custom tag libraries will justify the price of this book for many readers (including those with previous Java experience, but little JSP exposure). Several sections on designing and deploying custom tag libraries show you how to make use of this powerful new Sun standard. The text closes with leading-edge material on the new Struts Web application framework, including a worthwhile case study for an online travel database using this pre-packaged codebase as a starting point. Sun has endorsed Struts and other application frameworks as a "best practice" when building JSP-based applications, and the authors do a good job showing off this solution, including advice on configuration options.

With JSPs evolving into an even more powerful and flexible Web solution using custom tag libraries and other standards, this book fits the bill with an up-to-the-minute and approachable tour of exactly what any developer needs to use JSPs productively in real projects. --Richard Dragan



Book Description

JavaServer Pages (JSP) is an increasingly popular technology for building dynamic web applications that can access databases and provide an interactive experience for your site's users. JSP is built on top of the Java programming language, and so this book will teach you both JSP itself and the fundamentals of Java.

You'll learn how the web works and how JSP fits in, how to get input from the user and create web pages "on the fly", how JavaBeans components and tag libraries allow you to make your code more readable and easier to maintain, and of course how the Java language itself works. The book also covers how to handle errors in your code, the best ways of designing web applications, and rounds up with a comprehensive case study - a web site for a local tourism authority.

This book covers:
How to install Java and JSP/Servlets

How to create dynamic web sites with JavaServer Pages (JSP)

Object-oriented programming in Java

Java's core utility and input/output classes

How to use and create JSP Tag Libraries

Best practices in designing web applications with Java

Relational database access with MySQL and JDBC

Using the popular Struts framework to simplify application design

Includes frequent worked examples, including an in-depth case study

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent book from the Wrox stable. Buy it!, 8 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I bought this book on the back of "Profession PHP Programming" by Wrox. With that book, I was very impressed with the approach, layout and easy to follow "real world" examples. I was up and running with PHP in no time. THIS BOOK WAS EVEN BETTER. If you want to know how to programme in JSP then this is the one. All the examples are clear and easy to follow (and they all work). I hate books which throw out examples and leave you in mid air trying to figure out what's going on. Each example is explained clearly line by line. The book deals with Scriplets, Beans, Tag Libraries, Sessions, Database access, introduces the Struts framework etc. and climaxes with an excellent case study in building a Tourist Web application.
Only down side would be for absolute beginners with no knowledge in Java. Although the Java is not too deep, some of the examples would be hard to follow if you're a complete novice and have never seen a line of Java before.
I have now placed my order for the next one in the series "Profession JSP Site design", not yet published. Hurry up Wrox!.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginners Book, 11 Sep 2002
By David Rawle (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great hands-on book about programming in JSP, it assumes no knowledge of Java and explains in detail all the Java you need to program on the server side. All jargon is fully explained before being used and each chapter builds on and reinforces the stuff you've already seen.

It assumes some basic HTML knowledge. Written in an easy-to-read step-by-step style, it tells you how to set up Java and Tomcat your Windows or Unix machine to run the examples and, so far, all the examples have worked flawlessly.

It makes a great server side companion to Beginning Java 2 also by Wrox.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Programmer to programmer" - a.k.a "Get up to speed fast", 18 Feb 2003
By MR R S FLATT (Ipswich, Suffolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is an excellent way of rapidly getting up to speed with JSP. The book's philosophy is as simple as it is effective. The 'hello world' application is delivered simply and quickly. It is then extended, and it's problems noted. Cue the next change - another feature explained and used. And so it goes on. JSP, Servlets, Tag Libraries, Struts, you name it. The authors use a very gentle, handholding, evolutionary approach. In spite of there being several authors of the book, each chapter leads naturally to the next. For a "Beginning" book, it has impressive width and depth. 10/10. I fully intend to look for "Programmer to Programmer" books in future - I'm fed up wasting time and money on academics ramblings. You want real world? Get Wrox. It's as simple as that.
