JavaServer Pages, Third Edition is completely revised and updated to cover the substantial changes in the 2.0 version of the JSP specification. It also includes detailed coverage of the major revisions to the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL) specification. Combining plenty of practical advice with detailed coverage of JSP syntax and features and clear, useful examples, JavaServer Pages, Third Edition demonstrates how to embed server-side Java into Web pages, while also covering important topics such as JavaBeans, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), and JDBC database access.

          Full Description

The third edition of this immensely practical guide provides clear, comprehensive guidance for both web developers who want to make the most of Java Server Pages' (JSP) potential for building dynamic web applications, and programmers who want to master the JSP API and use JSP effectively in a distributed enterprise application.

  JavaServer Pages, Third Edition is completely revised and updated to cover the substantial changes in the 2.0 version of the JSP specification. It also includes detailed coverage of the major revisions to the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL) specification.

  Combining plenty of practical advice with detailed coverage of JSP syntax and features and clear, useful examples, JavaServer Pages, Third Edition demonstrates how to embed server-side Java into Web pages, while also covering important topics such as JavaBeans, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), and JDBC database access.

  Java Server Pages gives developers the in-depth information and invaluable examples they need to:

      Capitalize on the power of Java servlets to create effective, portable web applications

  Get started using the Apache Tomcat server

  Master JSP syntax and features, error handling and debugging, authentication and personalization

  Use JSTL for database access, XML processing, and internationalization

  Integrate servlets and JavaBeans with JSP (using the popular Jakarta Struts MVC framework)

  Develop custom tag libraries using the new tag file format

  Build a Java-Based custom library using the new, simplified tag handler API and the new tag library function feature

  And much more.

  JSP builds on the popular Java servlet technology and makes it easier to develop dynamic web applications--even if you're not a hard-core programmer. JavaServer Pages, Third Edition is loaded with clean, portable, well-documented code, providing experts with invaluable tips and insights, while giving newcomers all they need to assess and implement their first JSP applications.
