Summary: No depth
Review: First off, the book has a disturbing amount of typos and grammatic errors. It touches a lot of subjects without really digging deep into any of them. Too many references to unexplained or poorly-explained concepts. This book isn't useful to people who have no knowledge of the subject. To those who have some web experience, it provides a laconic tutorial of the discussed subjects.

Summary: This must be for Experienced JSP programmers
Review: I bought it because it was cheap and I could not afford JSP Complete Reference at that time. Anyway, if you know Java maybe it is best to get an introductory JSP book prior to starting this book.It gets very confuse, because it throws many information at once and does not explain it in detail. Instead, it is left as known by the reader. The book calls it self Complete Guide, and yet it covers every important aspect of JSP, it fails to teach beginners. I had to bought a new book and also get a few on line tutorials
so it is as complete as it calls it self. I wonder that I consider it because even though I am intermediate Java programmer, I am completely new to TOMCAT and
JSP. Maybe I will change my mind after learning JSP and then being able to understand this book as it should.

Summary: JSP and JAVA
Review: I liked the book very much. I found that it provided great coverage of JSP, JavaBeans, and Servlets. But I was frustrated to learn there was no source for code examples. The appendix lists the code, but there is no CD or web site to get the files. The publisher offered no help and there is no contact information for the author. I won't buy another book without access to source code.

Summary: Great combination of topics on open-source development
Review: It is quite rare to find a book that covers all the popular components of open-source development: Apache, Tomcat and PostgreSQL. The book effectively de-mystifies what it takes to develop enterprise-class applications using such tools, especially since Tomcat and Apache are gathering momentum as serious architectural players in the corporate world.

Summary: JSP and JAVA
Review: look at 1st a few chaps, could find myself getting more confused. Symply saying the usage of params as well as sort of "why". I could not say "I did my Apache-Tomcat config well fit into each other", even if I read and read... If this were valuable to people who's new to Apache tomcat, it should have had sort of explanation to default configs made by initial Apache/Tomcat installation. To make this book yours truly, reader'd better have sort of experience in Apache/tomcat. Every thing I wanted to know was explained or touched, but I can not figure out how to do. To do is to believe. not that to read to believe. I don't want to kill my time any more reading this, at least at this moment. If you don't have even basic-basic-basic.. commands or concept, think about buying this after you read steb-by-step book first. This is NOT the STEP-BY-STEP book.

Summary: A waste of time
Review: Not only does the author give you only 1/3 of the code for the project in the book, but there is no web address to access the code either. You are left with a lot of wasted time, a mess of unused code, and nothing but confusion. Don't waste your time like I did.
