Summary: Perfect Introduction to Servlets
Review: This clear and concise book gave a solid foundation of http basics which helped me get "inside servlets". The example pieces of code showed the power and real-world application of servlets. Initial set-up is discussed by illustrating the use of several different servlet engines and follows through to code debugging. This book is not only a great introduction but also serves as an excellent reference guide. I would recommend it to anyone starting servlet development.

Summary: Great book for learning servlets
Review: This is a great book for those new to servlets. The text and samples are easy to follow and got me writing and running servlets quickly (even with no prior servlet experience).
Somebody said that the book didn't tell how to invoke a servlet from HTML. What!? That's what the entire book is about. It totally focuses on building dynamic HTML-based web sites using servlets (and calling them from HTML). Strange comment. Anyway, it's a good book.

Review: This is an excellent book that gets your hands dirty and gets you going in writing simple servlets in a matter of hours. The examples are short and best of all they work.

Summary: New to servlets? This will help.
Review: While this book spends a considerable percent of its pages on "Introduction to the Web" and servlet basics (you don't get to write "Hello World" till chapter 5!), it does take off from chapter 7. There are good examples and the accompanying CD has everything you need to start trying out servlets on your own machine. I bought this book primarily to find more info on implementing servlets for JDBC database access; and I wish they could have covered this topic more comprehensively (they only devote 15 pages to this topic)... but what they did give me was more than enough to get started on a dynamic database-driven web application. While I am experienced at other methods, I knew close to nothing about servlets; so I found this book's pace quite appropriate. For those who code Java in their sleep, this book will probably not help very much. Buy this book if you want concise, clear-cut, introductory examples in servlet programming.

Summary: Great Starters Guide
Review: Without knowing much about internet programming or servlets, with this book I was able to get up to speed quickly on both subjects. It includes an excellent review of internet technologies as well as great coverage of servlets and JSP. And, unlike some books I've seen, all of the code examples actually compile and run!

Summary: Good but misses a basic peice of info (which aggravates!)
Review: Yes, the book gives a good descriptions of servlets and their surrounding environment. But how do you invoke a servlet from an HTML form and what are all the circumstances that one needs to know to do it effectively? Pretty basic pieces of info that one needs yet its not in the book. It shows how to directly invoke a servlet by typing a URL but the f*&# wants to do that! I'm having trouble finding an HTML book that even has the word servlet in it let alone defines the use of the tag! Pretty frustrating.
