Special Edition Using Java Server Pages and Servlets

Special Edition Using Java Server Pages and Servlets
Special Edition Using JSP and Servlets starts by detailing the evolution of web servers that led to the creation of ASP and JSP. It explains both the limitations of previous technologies and the benefits that JSP provides including platform independence. Includes coverage of: organizing applications with multiple files and client-side objects, generating well-formed XML using JSP, storing data in cookies and sessions, interacting with Enterprise Java Beans, displaying dynamic graphics with Java 2D, and using RMI and Corba to enhance JSP applications. The final chapters demonstrate advanced JSP & Servlet techniques, including using JSP to create wireless & XML-based applications. Appendices provide an overview of popular JSP & Servlet runtime environments, including Jrun, Tomcat and ServletExec

Web Development with JavaServer Pages

Web Development with JavaServer Pages


Web Development with JavaServer Pages is truly an excellent and in-depth tutorial in the effective use of JSPs to build Web applications. Geared toward the Web designer or intermediate Java programmer who's making a transition to JSPs for the first time, this text contains a wealth of information on basic and advanced techniques.

This tutorial is as good as any that's available, and covers all of the necessary JSP directives and syntax. For each directive, possible attributes are listed in convenient tables, which makes this also a worthwhile reference to everyday JSP development that explores the nooks and crannies of JSP APIs, and how pages are built (and cached) on today's JSP platforms.

Web Development with JavaServer Pages also does a good job of showing how to design JavaBean components and integrate them into your JSPs through tags. (Ideally, beans should do the calculation and "thinking" on the middle tier, while JSPs work on the front end.) You'll learn the right way to proceed with JSPs and beans--reinforced via a number of effective code samples. A larger example, a Web database of frequently asked questions (FAQs), demonstrates the big picture with JSPs and beans. Final chapters turn toward a useful aspect of JSP, custom tags, which allow Java programmers to extend the set of available tags for JSP front-end designers. There's even a sample of interactive tags, in which tags work together with other tags, with sample code.

Filled with plenty of details that carry the reader well beyond the basics, this text is one of the better available tutorials for learning JSPs. Its no-nonsense presentation style and useful examples can help put JSP development into the hands of anyone who has some prior HTML or Java experience. --Richard Dragan

Pro JSP, Third Edition

Pro JSP, Third Edition

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.

Professional Java Servlets 2.3

Professional Java Servlets 2.3

Java servlets are fast becoming indispensable enterprise components, as they provide a means to build scalable and portable business services that communicate over the Web. This book provides a comprehensive guide to developing applications based on the Java Servlet 2.3 API, a part of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition 1.3.

The book reveals how and where servlets fit into an enterprise solution, and addresses issues such as security, scalability, performance and design. It walks you through the API covering the role of all the classes and interfaces and provides lots of example applications to demonstrate servlets in action. The book also covers the key role that servlets play in the new web services development model.

Servlets and JSP: The J2EE Web Tier

Servlets and JSP: The J2EE Web Tier


Servlets and JavaServer Pagesâ?¢ is the first complete guide to building dynamic Java-based Web applications using the new JavaServer Pages 2.0 and Servlets 2.4. Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP) provide a robust solution to developing large, complex Web applications, including multiserver projects. In addition to built-in security, portability, and a Web server, they offer developers the freedom to work with any operating system that supports Javaâ??be it Linux, Windows, OSX, or Solaris.

This authoritative book begins by explaining how to set up a Servlet and JSP development environment, including a discussion of containers, Java support, and installing and configuring Tomcat. The authors then thoroughly explore servlets and JSP, including significant coverage of custom tag libraries, newly available filters, and popular servlet and JSP design patterns. Readers can then test-drive the knowledge gained by constructing a book-support Web site.

Among the topics covered in-depth are:

• Exception handling
  
• JavaBeans and the new JSP Expression Language (JSP EL)
  
• The JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) and coding custom tag libraries
  
• Filters
  
• Error handling
  
• Session and state management
  
• Security
  
• Design patterns, including Struts
  
• Internationalization
  
• Multiclient support
  
• Database connectivity
