The J2EE(TM) Platform has become the technology of choice for developing professional e-commerce applications, interactive Web sites, and Web-enabled applications and services. Servlet and JSP(TM) technology is the foundation of this platform: it provides the link between Web clients and server-side applications. In this 2nd edition of the worldwide bestseller, the authors show you how to apply the latest servlet and JSP capabilities. Unlike other books that treat servlet or JSP technology in isolation, Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages provides a unified treatment, showing you when servlet technology is best, when the JSP approach is preferred, and when (and how) servlets and JSP should work together.
Part I provides exhaustive coverage of the servlet 2.4 specification. It starts with server configuration, basic syntax, the servlet life cycle, and use of form data. It moves on to applying HTTP 1.1, cookies, and session tracking. Advanced topics include compressing Web content, incrementally updating results, dynamically generating images, and creating shopping carts.
Part II gives an in-depth guide to JSP 2.0. It covers both the "classic" JSP scripting elements and the new JSP 2.0 expression language. It shows how to control the content type, designate error pages, include files, and integrate JavaBeans components. Advanced topics include sharing beans, generating Excel spreadsheets, and dealing with concurrency.
Part III covers two key supporting technologies: HTML forms and database access with JDBC(TM). It explains every standard HTML input element and shows how to use appropriate JDBC drivers, perform database queries, process results, and perform updates. Advanced topics include parameterized queries, stored procedures, and transaction control.
Design strategies include ways to integrate servlet and JSP technology, best practices for invoking Java code from JSP pages, plans for dealing with missing and malformed data, and application of the MVC architecture.
Handy guides walk you through use of three popular servlet and JSP engines (Apache Tomcat, Macromedia JRun, and Caucho Resin) and some of the most widely used database systems (MySQL, Oracle9i, Microsoft Access).
Volume 2 of this book covers advanced topics: filters, custom tag libraries, database connection pooling, Web application security, the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), Apache Struts, JavaServer Faces (JSF), JAXB, and more.
Detailed treatment of Apache Tomcat, Macromedia JRun, and Caucho Resin Online access to all source code, available free for unrestricted use at the author's www.coreservlets.com web site.

This really is a good book.,

This review is from: Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages: Volume 1: Core Technologies (Paperback)
I just finished reading the serlvet part of this book. I could not help writing a review since this really is a very nice book. The book is structured in a very clean and easy-to-read format. You don't have to be a java expert to read this book. The instructions are so clear that you can't miss a thing in setting up Tomcat, JRUN, or running the code examples. I used Tocmat. All went well. I read this book like a novel from cover to cover. It was a very good experience. However, you should at least know the basics of Java before you read this book. This book is the first step toward J2EE. I will definitely buy the updated 2nd volume of this title that is geared toward advanced Servlets and JSPs. This is one of the best Java books I have ever had.

If you're an IBM/Lotus developer, you've no doubt heard all the talk about Java and portal development. You may also be wondering what you need to do to keep up. First off, you need to learn Java. The third step is to learn how to develop portlets. The middle step in there is to learn how servlets and JavaServer Pages work. This is where Core Servlets And JavaServer Pages fits in. Portal technology is really an extension of servlets, so once you understand how a servlet works, writing a portlet is just a small step away.
The book starts off with servlet coding. All the details are thoroughly covered with clear writing and a large number of example programs. The authors spend time explaining the concepts behind the request/response nature of servlets, so you'll be able to build a solid foundation of understanding. The second half of the book covers how JavaServer pages work. This will allow you to learn how JSPs work. It's also the basic information you need before you move on to the use of the Java Standard Tag Libraries, which are covered in the second volume of this series. By the time you finish this book, you will be well-grounded in the fundamentals needed to move on to portal development.
As with all books of this type, the authors have to make assumptions about the server platform you will be using. So as to not lock any potential readers out, they choose platforms that are available for free download: Apache Tomcat, Macromedia JRun, and Caucho Resin. If you are running Websphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD), you'll have to make your own mental adjustments to some of the information, such as directory structure and build routines. The good news is that WSAD does much of this for you, so you should be able to make the transition fairly easily.
If you are a Domino developer who hasn't done much with Java, you probably won't get much out of this book. You can write servlets for Domino, although it's not something you commonly see done much. If you're interested in making the transition to using Domino apps in a portal environment, it would be worthwhile to get this book if nothing more than to understand how portlets work (the underlying servlet request/response cycle).
