This book is for Java programmers who are moving into working with J2EE components and want to learn how to apply their skills to create real-world web components.

Knowledge of the Java language and core APIs is assumed. An understanding of XML will be of benefit, but is not essential.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Servlet Technology Resource
    Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2002
    Format: Paperback
    Another great book from Wrox's Professional Series.
    A more concise (700 pages) book than other in the 'Professional' range that I feel benefits from
    a great choice of chapters that not only provides you with the basics of Java Servlets but also those topics often skipped over elsewhere.
    Covering the new Servlet 2.3 API, deployment issues, filtering, scaleability techniques etc, this book provides a comprehensive insight to the use of Servlet Technology and best practices in the real world.
    Aimed at the profesional Java developer this book is an excellent resource for anyone currently working with Servlets/JSP/Webapps or any one wishing to learn Java Servlet Technology.
    I worked as a Technical Reviewer on this book and can personally vouch for the excellent array of chapters each packed with easily adaptible, real world examples.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Ch 12 is worth the price alone!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2002
    Format: Paperback
    I've only read Ch 12 - Designing Web Applications and Servlet Patterns, via PDF online at the authors site. It's worth the price alone - I went to my local bookstore to purchase it last night - but alast the isles are full of MS C# and .NET books.
    However on to what I learned from Ch 12 - the patterns that are put into action are wonderful! I've used MVC in the past - but adding the 'Command & Controller' to MVC is a real boon! I've not been successful with pattern books in the past, because they typically do not provide code examples, which I find a great learning tool [ I'm a "visual" learner ]. This book includes great code examples, the graphics are very professional, and helpful also.
    4 of 5 stars - I've not read the whole book - I've got to reserve total commitment til then.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book!!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2003
    Format: Paperback
    Hiya All,
    I have this book for sometime now, and I think, you can't have a better book to learn Servlets 2.3 API. Specially, the Chap on MVC pattern was very good. I liked the way the book has been written. There are lots of practicle examples in the book. The Patterns have been explained in a very good manner. But my favourite is Chap 8. Its downright interesting that how you can combine a database with a JSP page to create a Web Apps. I had some problems in Running the code and had to take the help of Wrox People, But I managed it with there help. Overall, a dependable book.
