Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages Resources


Java Developer's Guide to Servlets and JSP

This book is now at least two generations out of date versus the current servlet and JSP APIs. Probably the only thing of interest here is the chapter on debugging, which is still relevant.

Chapters

  1. The Basic Servlet API (the Sun Servlet base page for the latest specs)
  2. The Basic JSP API (the Sun JSP base page for the latest specs)
  3. Session Tracking
  4. Generating Other Types of Content
  5. Debugging
  6. Servlets, JSP, and XML (Important! Changes in XML parsers require code changes)
  7. Using Enterprise JavaBeans
  8. Servlet, JSP, and JDBC Connections
  9. Connecting to Custom Database Servers
  10. Connecting to Legacy Programs
  11. Custom Tag Libraries (Check out the taglib tutorial and free utility taglibs at Orionserver)
  12. Applet to Servlet Communication

A note about the files on the CD: You may have to change the host URLs and port numbers in the files to reflect your own servlet engine setup.

Servlet API 2.3 and JSP API 1.2 are the current official release. Download the full servlet specifications in PDF format from here!

The current JSP API can be donwloaded from this page. Also note the proposed JSP Standard Tag Library available from that page.

When errata is reported, they will be available from the Errata Listing
