Summary: Javaserver pages developer's handbook
Comment: This is one of the worst book I've read.
At first I was impressed by the good presentation of the book (schemas, layout, structure etc...)
The first few chapters are also good, but when I come to the most important core JSP itself, I quickly got torture, so difficult to understand, Chapter 8 , one of the most important chapter is the pure terror, I got depressed because I think that I'm dumb.
I spent 2 full weeks to read and it's a total waste.
Don't use this book if you want to be healthful

Summary: Great for developers
Comment: I'm a seasoned ColdFusion and Java developer who wanted to learn JSP. I found this book to be fast moving, with many examples and solid explanations of the topics at hand. You'll find coverage on using JavaBeans, EJBs, and J2EE containers with JSP to prime you for books dedicated to each of those subjects, along with great explanation on when to use what, and how JSP fits into the J2EE framework. Chapters are around 30-40 pages each, with enough detail to get you started whilst wheting your appetite for your own experimentation on Tomcat. I read the book in less than 2 weeks and felt comfortable with all the material covered.
I would not recommend this book to an inexperienced developer. There are a handful of minor code and example errors (such as an OS X screen shot for no reason!) which might confuse somebody new to Java and web development in general. Also, the coverage for configuring Tomcat, taglibs, etc. is probably not comprehensive enough for a newbie - you'll have to read the Jakarta docs to get some of the examples working. Of course, this is also a great way to learn how to configure the platform, since you're going to have to learn these things sooner or later anyway.
If you are already in web development and need a fast paced, comprehensive resource for learning JSP, I recommend this book wholeheartedly. This is a great starting point for learning J2EE as a framework.

Summary: Very good introduction to JSP
Comment: Quite comprehensive coverage of JSP2.0 especially JSTL.
The book attempts to cover a lot of topics. Web applications, JNDI, XML,XSLT, JDBC and JSTL. Even a smattering of Struts and EJBs.
One thing I liked about the book is the fact that everything is covered with an intent to portray the way a JSP utilizes these technologies. JSTL tag coverage is comprehensive. The authors keep coming back to the JSTL tags to show how they simplify matters and achieve the view and model separation.
In short read this book if you want to :
1. Learn all the Jsp directives.
2. Familiarize yourself with the JSTL core, xml,sql and internationalization tags.
3. Write your own JSP tags. The custom tags treatment can be improved but it does get the point across.
4. Acquire an understanding 'under the hood'. Generated servlets are listed and analyzed to give an idea to the user as to how the jsp code was processed by the servlet container.
Tomcat 4.1 and a preview version of Tomcat that incorporates JSP 2.0 were used to demonstrate the book's material.
