Mastering JSP: A Server Side Technology

The emergence of server side Java has changed all the limitations of client side browser applications (applets). Java server pages (JSP) and Java servlets provide a secure, robust and platform independent technology for bringing the power of java to e-commerce and enterprise web computing. This being the case, interest in JSP is flourishing and the demand for JSP skills is running high. Nearly all the Fortune 500 companies now have or will soon deploy server side applications. The purpose of this book is to provide a complete detail of JSP technology, starting with the web programming environment and the elements of JSP, then proceeding to a deeper examination of advanced topics. It covers JSP syntax and semantics, scriptlets, expressions and declarations. The book also discusses how JSP works with JDBC, JavaBean and other major components of the Java enterprise environment.
