The JDC is pleased to present two chapters from Professional JSP: Second Edition by Casey Kochmer and Geert Van Damme.

About the Book

Professional JSP 2nd Edition is for professional programmers who want to use JavaServer Pages (JSP ) technology and servlets to create the web front end of their J2EE applications. No knowledge of JSP pages or servlets is required, but the reader is assumed to be familiar with the Java programming language and the core APIs.

The book itself covers the fundamentals of web programming with JSP pages and servlets, the design and implementation of tag libraries, JSP with JDBC technology and XML, authentication, content transformation using Servlet 2.3 filtering, the Jakarta Struts project and the role of JSP and servlets in J2EE. Each of these subjects is explained with example code.

About the Chapters

Chapter 12, "JSP and XML," examines the potential for mixing JSP pages and XML in order to enhance the capabilities of JSP, and introduces a reusable tag library that can be used for any XML based project.

Chapter 19, "Debugging JSP and Servlets," covers debugging techniques and tools for JSP pages and servlets, giving examples of good debugging practice.
