About the BookThe JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) is an important simplification of the Java web platform. With JSTL, page authors can now write dynamic pages using standard HTML-like tags and an easy-to-learn expression language. JSTL is a standard from the Java Community Process, and its expression language will become part of JSP 2.0. JSTL in Action shows you how to write rich, dynamic web pages without programming. From simple loops to tricky XML processing, every feature of JSTL is covered and exercised in numerous useful examples. Whether you are a novice page author or an experienced Java programmer, this book shows you easy ways to create powerful web sites. About the ChaptersChapter 5, "Controlling Flow with Loops," demonstrates how to use JSTL's iteration tags: <c:forEach> and <c:forTokens>. The chapter walks through each of these tags' attributes and features. An example shows readers how to let users "scroll" or "page" through data. Chapter 11, "Common Tasks," presents examples for reading data from forms, handling errors, and validating input with JSTL. The examples demonstrate various strategies for designing HTML pages that work well with JSTL.
