Pro JSP, 3/e

Summary

JavaServer Pages (JSP) is one of the two key Java technologies for web development (the other being servlets which are also covered in the book). They are analogous to ASP in the Microsoft world and PHP in the Open Source community. The latest release is version 2.0 (up from 1.2) and is the biggest leap in the JSP specification, soon to be finalized.

In one single text, Pro JSP, Third Edition provides comprehensive coverage of JavaServer Pages, the enhancements in version 2.0 and the most popular associated technologies, including Servlets, JSTL, and Apache Tomcat 5. It takes you through building complex, complete JSP applications in order to further your understanding and additional chapters and individual case studies will be available as a supplemental download.
