About the Book

The Java 2 Platform has become the technology of choice for developing processional e-commerce applications, dynamic Web pages, and Web-enabled applications and services. Servlet and JSP technology is the foundation of this platform: it provides the link between Web clients and server-side applications. But the field has been evolving rapidly, and few developers have been able to keep up. In this new companion to the worldwide bestseller Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Marty Hall shows you how to apply recent advances in servlet and JSP technology. The book provides everything you need to know to leverage the latest servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 standards: real-world insight, advanced techniques, industrial-strength code, and hands on coverage of three top servers: Apache Tomcat, Macromedia JRun, and New Atlanta ServletExec.

• Part I gives a thorough introduction to programming with servlet and JSP technology.
• Part II provides exhaustive details on Web application development and deployment.
• Part III describes Web application security in detail.
• Part IV covers two features introduced with servlets 2.3: filters and life-cycle events.
• Part V looks at new tag library developments.
