Excellent introduction

This is a great introduction to JSP. It is true that there are some typoes but they are mostly harmless. I don't know how many typoes are in the code samples, because I didn't hardcopy them. My "system" is to try to make up my own code by reading, trying to understand and apply, not by typing someone elses code like a monkey typist.This book covers all you need to know about JSP but some preknowledge of servlets helps. Nothing fancy, just go through some servlet -tutorial on the web and you are done. You need to know the structure of a servlet, that is the initialization, destruction and the doService() method (incl. doGet() and doPost()). That will help you with JSP in general. Because writing JSP code is actually writing servlet code.The first chapter is just an introduction. If you are in a hurry, you only need to read chapter 2! It shows you how to create JSPs and assuming you know java, you can do some impressive stuff right then and there. But if you want to create custom JSP tags, or need some samples as how to write database or ldap-applications (ie. you are not that experienced with java) then you will find all you need from the subsequent chapters.Tryly worth having!

Want to know JSP and more!

This book is not just JSP but more. The author tries to indulge the reader into other JAVA technologies like JNDI, XML,XSLT etc. Good for beginners as well as for those who have an understanding about JSP.

Great Book

First, a comment for Dave Feltenberger. Who very ignorantly gave the first review. Because you CAN use vector.add() and there are always ways for using special characters. Dave, checkout APIs before comments like these. All books have typos, this is not an English book.I have read several tutorials on JSP. This one is by far the best source for beginning JSP and/or for advanced reading. Contains very comprehensive knowledge of using JSP with other technologies and not just JSP. But if you are a beginner, This is still the best.Definitely recommend this book. This is one of the books you want to keep.

Strong like goat cheese. Smooth like fine wine.

This book is an excellent primer and a quick-start to learning Java Server Pages (JSP). The authors write in a clear, concise manner and the reader gets an excellent grasp of the material by the time they are done with the book. In addition, there are some great additions that explain some new technologies like XML and how they can be utilized with JSP. This is an essential reference to JSP technology, and does not try to be a stupid Wrox box that tries to explain the history of the universe in 1100 pages with an ugly picture on the cover. Get this book!

Great kickstart for learning JSP

Great book for anybody wanting to learn how to use dynamic page generation in a Java Server environment. Excellent examples if you need to get something running quickly. Anybody planning to build web applications in a J2EE environment should read this book.
