Book overview

The JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Java Servlet technologies provide a flexible and popular basis for developing dynamic web sites and applications, powered by the Java language. A wide variety of components, tag libraries, and application frameworks (such as Struts from the Apache Software Foundation) are becoming available, building on this basis and providing much needed functionality.

This book is designed to take you from a basic knowledge of the JSP and Servlet technologies to a deeper understanding of how best to implement core web site features such as dynamic navigation, page layout, and content management; potentially tricky subjects like managing frames are analyzed and the best approach discussed. The approach is pragmatic: where an open source component exists that provides the necessary functionality, we'll show you how best to integrate it into your own applications rather than inventing your own.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Java developers who want to take their knowledge to the next level by learning how to apply their skills with JSP and Servlets to practical, real-world issues of web site design. Knowledge of the JSP 1.1 and Servlet 2.2 standards, together with the Java language and core APIs, is assumed. An understanding of XML will be of benefit, but is not essential.
