JavaServer Pages (JSP), together with the Java Servlet API, provide the dynamic web content presentation layer for the Java 2 Enterprise Edition. JSPs and Servlets integrate tightly to enable scalable and portable applications, and are widely supported. This book extensively covers the next generation of these technologies, JSP 1.2 and Servlets 2.3, which provide major enhancements to Java`s web programming model.This book looks in depth at these core components of the J2EE 1.3 platform, preparing you for building the next generation of web solutions. You`ll learn about the enhancements to the JSP tag library model; the new filtering and application event facilities; how to architect web applications to ensure clean separation of presentation and logic; and the increasingly popular Jakarta Struts framework. The book also addresses using JSP with XML and XSLT; databases access with JDBC; and how JSP and Servlets fit into the overall J2EE platform alongside Enterprise JavaBeans, JavaMail, and other J2EE technologies.Who is this book for?This book is for professional Java programmers who want to use JSP and Servlets to create the web front end of their J2EE applications, and to see how these technologies separate presentation from the generation of dynamic content. No knowledge of JSP or Servlets is required, but the reader is assumed to be familiar with the Java language and core APIs. Some knowledge of XML and EJB will be of benefit, but is not essential.What does this book cover?The fundamentals of web programming with JavaServer Pages and Java ServletsDesigning and implementing JSP tag librariesUsing JSP with JDBC databases and XML documentsAuditing, authentication, and content transformation with Servlet 2.3 filteringDesign and architecture for scalable and maintainable dynamic web applicationsUsing the Jakarta Struts framework and tag libraries to build an ecommerce siteThe role of JSP and Servlets in J2EE
