This book teaches beginner programmers how to create dynamic web sites with JavaServer Pages (JSP) using many examples. This tutorial/reference brings JavaServer Pages to the huge audience of non-programmers and allows them to get the most productivity from JSPs, with the least effort. This second edition covers the latest release of the JSP specification (2.0), including overviews of some related technologies such as servlets, the Java standard tag library (JSTL), Jakarta Struts, and databases. The second edition of this bestseller includes a number of standard extensions to JSPs, as well as a number of best practices that have been developed since the first edition was written.Over the past few years, JavaServer Pages have become a popular and important technology for building dynamic web sites. Several commercial implementations, as well as wide-spread open-source ones, already exist and are in wide use. Unlike Microsoft's Active Server Pages, JSPs do not tie the developer to any particular platform, and are available to developers at no cost.
In JavaServer Pages 2.0, Sun has added new features that make it even easier to create dynamic, interactive Web pages in Java. These include a built-in expression language and a library of tags (the JSP Standard Tag Library) that facilitate creation of pages.
"Sams Teach Yourself JavaServer Pages 2.0 in 24 Hours" starts with the basics of JSP, and explains the expression language, JSTL, creating new tags and more. Each lesson builds on the previous one, giving you a full picture of JSP development. Later chapters describe how to incorporate XML, interface with larger Java applications, work with popular frameworks such as Struts, and more. The book includes Apache Tomcat, Sun's reference implementation of JSP, so you can start developing applications immediately.
Harness the power of JavaServer Faces to create your own server-side user interfaces for the Web
This innovative book arms you with the tools to utilize JavaServer Faces (JSF), a new standard that will make building user interfaces for J2EE™ applications a lot easier. The authors begin by painting the architectural big picture--covering everything from the Patterns that are used in the implementation to the typical JSF Request/Response lifecycle. Next, youll learn how to use JSF in the real world by uncovering the various pieces of the JSF component model, such as UI components, events and validation. The authors then explain how to apply JSF, including how to integrate JSF user interfaces with the Business Tier and how to render your own user interface components. By following this approach, youll be able to confidently create and validate your own custom applications that meet the needs of your company.
Whether working in J2EE or J2SE™, this book will show you how to:
Use UI Components to build your user interface
Ensure that the data you store meets the business rules for your application
Integrate JSF with JSPs through the custom Tag feature in JSP implementations
Build JSF applications that interact with either EJBs or POJOs
Validate a new component and queue events to invoke custom application logic

JSP is one of the core technologies for server-side Java applications and the 2.0 release, which this book covers in detail, makes JSP an even more powerful tool
Walks Java programmers and Web developers through JSP fundamentals, including JSP syntax and directives, JSP Expression Language, JSP Tag libraries, JSTL, and techniques for testing and debugging
Shows how to use JSP in real-world Web applications along with open source frameworks such as Struts, WebWork, and Turbine, software design methodologies, and developer tools like Ant, jUnit, and CVS, as well as popular IDEs (integrated development environmnents)
Each chapter has an exercise section with solutions on the companion Web site
Servlets and JavaServer Pages dramatically simplify the creation of dynamic Web pages and Web-enabled applications. With Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), these tools have come of age, earning the support of an unprecedented range of Web and application servers on every major operating system. This book is a comprehensive guide for every experienced developer who wants to master the new versions of these powerful tools. Start by mastering servlet syntax, installation and setup fundamentals and the servlet life cycle. Use cookies and session tracking, optimize browsers, compress pages to slash download time, and decrease overhead with persistent HTTP sessions. Next, master every key JavaServer Pages 1.1 technique you'll need: expressions, declarations, and scriptlets; controlling the format of the servlet that results from the page; incorporating reusable JavaBeans; sharing Beans among pages; dynamically including other files; defining your own JSP tag libraries, and combining servlets and JSP in a single application. Part III offers the industry's most in-depth, practical coverage of using applets and HTTP tunneling as servlet front ends, using JDBC and connection pooling, and HTML forms.
