Product Description

From Amazon

Aimed at Web developers with some previous Java experience, Java Servlet Programming, 2nd Edition, offers a solid introduction to the world of Java development with servlets and related technologies. Newly updated with over a half-dozen new chapters and thoroughly revised, this title brings an already useful text up to speed with some leading-edge material. It excels particularly in explaining how to program dynamic Web content using Java servlets, with a fine introduction to all the APIs, programming techniques and tips you will need to be successful with this standard.

Besides being a useful guide to APIs, the book looks at a variety of techniques for saving session state, as well as showing how servlets can work together to power Web sites. You will learn performance tips and ways to get servlets to work together (such as forwarding and redirection), plus the basics of database programming with JDBC to build content with "live" data. A later chapter examines what's next for servlets with the emerging Servlet 2.3 API standard. Importantly, the authors go over deploying and configuring Web applications by editing XML files, a must-have for successfully running servlets in real applications.

Since the first edition of this title, the choices for Java Web developers have grown much richer. Many of the new chapters in this edition look at options beyond servlets. Short sections on application frameworks such as Tea, WebMacro, the Element Construction Set (ECS), XMLC and JavaServer Pages (JSPs) let you explore what's out there for Java developers today with a survey of some current tools that can speed up creating new Web applications.

The text closes with reference sections on servlet APIs (and other material) that will be useful for any working developer. Although servlets are not the only game in town, they are still important tools for successful Web development. This updated edition shows you just how to do it with plenty of basic and advanced tips for taking full advantage of this powerful Java standard. --Richard Dragan

Book Description

Servlets are an exciting and important technology that ties Java to the Web, allowing programmers to write Java programs that create dynamic web content.

Java Servlet Programming covers everything Java developers need to know to write effective servlets. It explains the servlet lifecycle, showing how to use servlets to maintain state information effortlessly. It also describes how to serve dynamic web content, including both HTML pages and multimedia data, and explores more advanced topics like integrated session tracking, efficient database connectivity using JDBC, applet-servlet communicaton, interservlet communication, and internationalization. Readers can use the book's numerous real-world examples as the basis for their own servlets.

The second edition has been completely updated to cover the new features of Version 2.2 of the Java Servlet API. It introduces chapters on servlet security and advanced communication, and also introduces several popular tools for easier integration of servlet technology with dynamic web pages. These tools include JavaServer Pages (JSP), Tea, XMLC, and the Element Construction Set.

In addition to complete coverage of 2.2 specification, Java Servlet programming, 2nd Edition, also contains coverage of the new 2.3 final draft specification.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK for beginners, May 16 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Java Servlet Programming (Paperback)
I wouldn't say this is an excellent book, but it's not bad. The book covers good fundamentals in its first 8 chapters for those beginning Servlets. The book also covers some useful information on JDBC and Java Server Pages. There's also some additional coverage on Applet-Servlet communication, Internationalization and Tea & WebMacro application frameworks. However some topics like JavaBeans, SSL, Filters, deployment descriptors and XML were too brief and should have been given some depth. Another dissappointment is that all examples are based on API 2.2 but not 2.3!!. The Appendix just touches on new features of API 2.3 with also a separate listing of API 2.3.
It's been 8 mths since I purchased this book. I'd suggest that starters either wait for the next edition or get something that is based on Servlet API 2.3.

Review
If you are starting to work in the Java world of coding, you'll quickly run into the subject of servlets. So what's a servlet? A servlet is a Java agent running on a web server that is handling requests from clients such as browsers and wireless devices. This is the most common way that you'll serve up dynamic interactive web content in applications. The browser makes a request to a web server and specifies the URL of a servlet. The servlet takes that request, does whatever is needed (such as reading a back-end data source), and then formats a response back to the browser consisting of HTML.

This book will take you from the conceptual ideas of how HTTP works and how it communicates with a servlet running on the web server. You'll then learn how a servlet works and why it's such a wonderful choice for building scalable and efficient web applications. Following chapters build upon that basic framework and leads you through building a number of servlets that will show off some of the capabilities of the technology. The examples are clear and well-documented, and you will come away with the skills needed to start using servlets in your web apps. The book does not assume any particular web server, so you are free to use whatever vendor's server you want to work through the material. If you don't already have a J2EE server available to you, you can download the free Tomcat package from http://www.apache.org in order to start practicing.

And why do you need this if you're a Notes/Domino developer? For the normal Notes application, this technology doesn't apply. But IBM and Lotus are pushing enhancements in the Notes/Domino framework that will allow the use of Lotus components within a J2EE framework, and that means that you will be coding servlets to generate the dynamic web content that Domino can deliver. Furthermore, if you start working with Websphere Portal (which is being pushed hard by IBM), 90% of what you code will be based on the servlet classes. This is definitely material you will need to know.

Conclusion
The conclusion for this book is the same as my conclusion for the JavaServer Pages book by O'Reilly... If you want to keep moving along in the IBM/Lotus world, servlet and JSP technologies are in your future. While you may not need it right now, you WILL need it. I highly recommend this book in addition to the JavaServer Pages book. The combination of these two books will give you all you need to know in order to work in the NextGen world of IBM/Lotus.
