Product Description
Book Description
Java EE is the technology of choice for e-commerce applications, interactive Web sites, and Web-enabled services. Servlet and JSP technology provides the link between Web clients and server-side applications on this platform. Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Volume 2: Advanced Technologies, Second Edition, is the definitive guide to the advanced features and capabilities provided by servlets and JSP.
Volume 2 presents advanced capabilities like custom tag libraries, filters, declarative security, JSTL, and Struts. Like the first volume, it teaches state-of-the-art techniques and best practices illustrated with complete, working, fully documented programs.
Volume 2 explains in detail the advanced tools and techniques needed to build robust, enterprise-class applications. You'll learn how to control application behavior through the web.xml deployment descriptor file, how to enhance application security through both declarative and programmatic methods, and how to use servlet and JSP filters to encapsulate common behavior. You'll also learn how to control major application lifecycle events, best practices for using JSTL, and how to build custom tag libraries. Volume 2 concludes with an in-depth introduction to the Jakarta Struts framework.
Complete source code for all examples is available free for unrestricted use at www.volume2.coreservlets.com. For information on Java training from Marty Hall, go to courses.coreservlets.com.
Volume 1 presents comprehensive coverage of the servlets and JSP specifications, including HTTP headers, cookies, session tracking, JSP scripting elements, file inclusion, the MVC architecture, and the JSP expression language. It also covers HTML forms, JDBC, and best practices for design and implementation.

advanced servlet/jsp & struts 1.3, Feb 3 2008
By Jeanne Boyarsky - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Volume 2: Advanced Technologies (Paperback)
"Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Volume 2: Advanced Technologies" targets developers who already know Java and basic servlets/JSPs. Note this book's second edition does not cover the latest technologies. It uses J2EE 1.3/1.4 and Struts 1.3.The main topics are advanced deployment descriptor settings, security, custom tags, filters, event handling and JSTL. Then there are three chapters on Struts 1.3. These additional chapters were very good although I'm not sure what they have to do with "core servlets." The browser screenshots were good for showing output and the examples were excellent.
As with "Core Java", the 700 page book contains some long classes. I could have done without the complete 5 page deployment descriptor at the end since it was gradually built up with new additions highlighted. The highlighting does help with spatial orientation.
I did notice a couple typos in the book. None of these affected the meaning, but it gives you the impression it wasn't proofread as carefully as other books. And (at least my copy) had a printing error where one page was missing a few lines.
For most part the book pointed out best practices. There were a few exceptions such as one chapter mentioning which jsp page should establish a database connection. Different chapters had different opinions on whether there should be scriptlets in a JSP as well.
Overall the book was fine although I would prefer to invest in a different title - either fully on Struts or fully on servlets/JSPs.

Really good compendium, Aug 10 2009
By Leszek Gruchaa "Leszek" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Volume 2: Advanced Technologies (Paperback)
Courtesy of Robert Lange from Szczecin JUG:Core Servlets and Java Server Pages Volume 2: Advanced Technologies is a sequel of Volume 1 : Core Technologies. Beside the authors many times emphasize that it will be better to know information covered in volume 1and that in this book there are mainly information about advanced technologies, they are recalling basic technologies too (configuration of deployment environment - Tomcat and other servers, deployment strategies, building WAR files, creating simple web applications, etc). It is very smart endeavors because it present great introduction to more advanced technologies. The only one demand for studying of both volumes of this book is that reader is familiar with java programming.
Very interesting division describes [...] file as a tool which controls web application. It contains step by step information how to build proper [...] file which could change and control behavior of already working web application. Additionally there are divisions deserving of attention about security and applications event framework. Core Servlets ... vol2 is a kind of book you will return to many times, because it contains many hints how to solve problems like for example filters. There is many precise use case of filters to control servlets activity. It is very good knowledge compendium about web applications services (servlets) and way to achieve their accomplishment. One of virtues of this book is that all described technologies are richly illustrated by many examples. Additional asset is free documented source code which is placed on [...], thanks to it is easy way to test all examples covered in book. Authors describing issues many times have referred to informations covered in vol1 of this book. Thanks to both books complements one another. Core Servlets ... vol2 could be recommended to all who are going to develop enterprise web applications. This book is very important item in IT library of every web application developer.

Excellent book!!!!, Jun 17 2008
By B. Raczkowski "Bar5502" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Volume 2: Advanced Technologies (Paperback)
This book is a continuation of the first book. The book covers deployment of web application in great detail. It takes you through the development of a JSP, custom tags and does not leave you hanging like other books. It takes you through the steps of compiling, building and installing your web app. It covers security filtering and much more.Another interesting technique this book uses, is it take the web developer through the different types of web development. It starts with development of custom tags and takes the reader through JSTL libraries and then discusses the Struts framework.
Finally, I used this book to help me through deployment of my web application. It was an invaluable tool.
Listmania!
