JavaServer Pages 3rd Edition
JavaServer Pages (JSP) has built a huge following since the
release of JSP 1.0 in 1999, providing Enterprise Java
developers with a flexible tool for the development of
dynamic web sites and web applications. While new point
releases over the years, along with the introduction of the
JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), have incrementally
improved
the rough areas of the first version of the JSP
specification, JSP 2.0 takes this technology to new heights.
JavaServer Pages, Third Edition, is completely revised and
updated to cover the JSP 2.0 and JSTL 1.1 specifications. It
includes detailed coverage of the Expression Language (EL)
incorporated into JSP 2.0, the JSTL 1.1 tag libraries and
the new function library, the new tag file format that
enables custom tag library development without Java code,
the simplified Java tag library API, improvements in the JSP
XML syntax, and more. Further, it details setup of the
Apache Tomcat server, JSP and JSTL syntax and features,
error handling and debugging, authentication and
personalization, database access, XML processing, and
internationalization.
This book recognizes the different needs of the two groups
of professionals who want to learn JSP: page authors
interested in using JSP elements in web pages, and
programmers concerned with learning the JSP API and using
JSP effectively as a part of an enterprise application. If
you're in the first group, you'll learn from the practical
web application examples in the second part of the book. If
you're in the latter group, you'll appreciate the detailed
coverage of advanced topics in the third part, such as how
to integrate servlets and JavaBeans components with JSP
using the popular Apache Struts MVC framework, and how to
develop custom tag libraries using the JSP API, with
realistic examples that you can use as a springboard for
your own libraries.
"Hans Bergsten, a JSP expert group veteran and one of our
most active contributors, has thoroughly and accurately
captured the new features of JSP 2.0 and JSTL 1.1 in a way
that is well-organized and easy to understand. With
excellent, to-the-point examples, this book is a 'must have'
for any serious JSP 2.0 developer."
