J2ee Frontend Technologies: A Programmer's Guide to Servlets, JavaServer Pages, and Enterprise JavaBeans

by Lennart Jorelid

Servlets and JSP (Java Server Pages) are the main way that Java is used in the Web today. These are Java programs that run on a Web server that allow HTML content to be dynamically generated (often by querying a database) and then sent via the web to a "client" machine that made the request in the first place.

Customer Reviews

This book helps to quickly develop deeper insight in J2EE

I found this book to be very well written, organized and helpful in learning J2EE concepts. The book is very easy to read. Author is very experienced and discusses pros and cons for various decisions programmers and designers have to make. The topics covered include Servlets, Shopping Cart Example, Struts, JSP and EJB.Illustrations used throughout the book for describing classes, packages and working of programs is excellent. UML is used extensively in the book. Class diagrams and Interaction diagrams are used throughout the book to explain Java Servlet API and it's working. Screen dumps and nice figures are used to give pictorial views of situations being discussed. This helped me quickly understand various concepts. At various places, the author explains reasons for deprecating some methods in the API. He also gives examples of such cases. This helped me learn some better programming skills and made me aware of common design mistakes. The author explains many design choices from security point of view also. In my opinion the book is an excellent buy.
