Summary: Great Book for JSP beginners!
Review: I am a novice at Servlet/JSP. From this book, I get practical help. For example, it includes how to set up development environments, how to set up batch files to develop servlet/JSP effectively. I also like about the examples as they are close to real-life application. The stuff I mention here are just a few and there are many more stuffs you can find from it. I would recommend this book! BL

Summary: Great book to start with..
Review: The book in my opinion is typically targetted at developers who want to get familiar with the technology and in that respect the book is definitely well orgranized. It has sections on servlets , JSP ans some additonal technologies that can be used with servlets and JSP's. To get a basic flair of what JSP and servets are..this is a good book..but the book doesnt illustrate any ideas on how to solve actual development problems. Refernces to using design patterns like facade, the MVC are almost absent... so a good book to get introduced to this technology but lacks solutions/ideas about real aplication development

Summary: Perfect book to get you started with Servlets and JSPs
Review: This book is perfect for everyone who wants to get started with java web components. It's written in a very readable style and it does not take much effort to read the more than 500 pages from cover to cover. The first 200 pages cover most of what you need to know about Servlets. There are several good code examples as illustration to the concepts, though some of them are a bit lengthy for my taste. This part of the book ends with the mandatory On-Line-Store-Using-a-Shopping-Cart-and-Session-Tracking-example. The next 150 pages covers all the basic elements and techniques for JSPs, including Custom Tags. The core concepts are explained in a way that is easily understood. Again, good example code for the most part, but some examples could have been made shorter. The third part of the book covers supporting technologies. One chapter is about using HTML forms. Another chapter is about using Applets as Servlet front ends. The final chapter is about JDBC, where a large part is devoted to important concept of connection pooling. I highly recommend this book for everyone who is getting started with Servlets and JavaServer Pages.

Summary: A Good Book for learning JSP & Servlets together
Review: I read this book and found a lot of good features for the JSP & servlets. I can get contents that I want to know about from this book quickly. This book contains all basic and important contents for the JSP & Servlets. Also, this book provides a lot of very good examples. JSP and Servlets should be used together and learned together. It is good idea to conbine those two contents in one Book. I believe that it is a very good book for readers to learn JSp & Servlets together.

Summary: Great primer on Servlets/JSP's if you know a little Java
Review: I was a novice Java programmer when I first picked up this book. I could write simple Applets/Applications, but was looking for a way to get into the world of server side programming. This book is a great way to get started in these endeavors. The book does not attempt to be a 1,000 page "bible" to either technology, but rather it walks you through the basics of both technologies in a well defined fashion. Once you get a good grasp of this book it's time to grab the Servlet API from the Sun web site and really dig into the full Servlet API. If you are looking for somewhere to start learning Servlet and JSP technologies this is the best place to start that I know of...

Summary: Good book
Review: Good book with enough examples. On the other hand, in order to be more efficient it is preferrable to have a CD for having the code in electronicly.

Summary: Bad book
Review: This book is not easy to follow if you don't know HTML and some HTTP. For example the books describes how a Servlet processes a GET method, but did not tell me all HTTP browsers send a GET or POST message. The book looks like a guy with plenty of knowledge threw a book together, i.e., Chapter 18 covers databases and is about 18 pages of prose and 38 pages of screen shots and code listing. If you're new to Java Server Pages try JavaServer Pages by Whitehead. Whiteheads book is half code examples, but very short examples that teach by showing. This books is NOT perfect, but it will get you started quickly with JSP, and it's easy to follow.
