JSP Examples and Best Practices takes basic JSP and applies sound architectural principles and design patterns to give the average developer the tools to build scalable enterprise applications using JSP.

Best-selling author Bill Vaughn gives practical advice that VB developers can use immediately to make their data access code faster and easier to write and understand.

JSP is one of the core technologies for server-side Java applications and the 2.0 release, which this book covers in detail, makes JSP an even more powerful tool Walks Java programmers and Web developers through JSP fundamentals, including JSP syntax and directives, JSP Expression Language, JSP Tag libraries, JSTL, and techniques for testing and debugging Shows how to use JSP in real-world Web applications along with open source frameworks such as Struts, WebWork, and Turbine, software design methodologies, and developer tools like Ant, jUnit, and CVS, as well as popular IDEs (integrated development environmnents) Each chapter has an exercise section with solutions on the companion Web site

This book highlights the benefits of web development using Java tools. This book demonstrates how to make this technology work.

This book is about using JavaServer Faces to create and deploy interactive applications delivered to end users via a browser interface. JavaServer Faces is the component-based technology enabling easy development of such applications, especially applications of the type commonly needed in enterprise environments. JavaServerFaces: Introduction by Example is a to-the-point, 250-page introduction to an important technology that every Java Enterprise Edition programmer should know and be able to use. JavaServer Faces: Introduction by Example takes you through building and deploying servlet-based web pages built around JavaServer Faces, Facelets, managed Java Beans, and prebuilt user-interface components. You'll learn to build user interfaces that run in the browser, to display data drawn from corporate databases, accept user input, deal with errors and exceptions, and more. JavaServer Faces is an important user-interface technology for any Java developer to learn who works in an enterprise environment. JavaServer Faces: Introduction by Example is your no-nonsense guide to getting started right away in taking advantage of the technology's component-driven approach. Introduces servlets, which are the basis for JavaServer Faces applications Covers development and deployment of user interfaces in the browser Demonstrates advanced techniques such as the use of AJAX

This comprehensive guide for experienced developers presents a new approach to separating the static parts of a Web page from the dynamic portion, making the power of the Servlets accessible to any Web site developer.

This is the completely updated and revised edition to the bestselling tutorial and reference to J2EE Patterns. The book introduces new patterns, new refactorings, and new ways of using XML and J2EE Web services.

Java developers typically go through four "stages" in mastering Java. In the first stage, they learn the language itself. In the second stage, they study the APIs. In the third stage, they become proficient in the environment. It is in the fourth stage --"the expert stage"-- where things really get interesting, and Java Enterprise Best Practices is the tangible compendium of experience that developers need to breeze through this fourth and final stage of Enterprise Java mastery.Crammed with tips and tricks, Java Enterprise Best Practices distills years of solid experience from eleven experts in the J2EE environment into a practical, to-the-point guide to J2EE.Java Enterprise Best Practices gives developers the unvarnished, expert-tested advice that the man pages don't provide--what areas of the APIs should be used frequently (and which are better avoided); elegant solutions to problems you face that other developers have already discovered; what things you should always do, what things you should consider doing, and what things you should never do--even if the documentation says it's ok.Until Java Enterprise Best Practices, Java developers in the fourth stage of mastery relied on the advice of a loose-knit community of fellow developers, time-consuming online searches for examples or suggestions for the immediate problem they faced, and tedious trial-and-error. But Java has grown to include a huge number of APIs, classes, and methods. Now it is simply too large for even the most intrepid developer to know it all. The need for a written compendium of J2EE Best Practices has never been greater.Java Enterprise Best Practices focuses on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) APIs. The J2EE APIs include such alphabet soup acronyms as EJB, JDBC, RMI, XML, and JMX.

The Web pro's quick tutorial to building Web pages with the power of JSP guides readers through fundamental concepts and simple examples and works up to more sophisticated projects and functionality. Includes loads of practical, proven advice and real-world examples for each of the concepts discussed.

* Andrew Patzer was the principal author of the best selling Professional Java Server Programming—among the first to cover J2EE technologies; JSP design patterns books should sell as well as the sister version: J2EE design patterns books. * Includes best practices, enterprise design patterns, and architectural constructs to provide unit testing, load testing and automated deployment procedures. * Covers new features of the JSP 2.0 specification including the standard filtering mechanism.
