Developing Java Servlets: Web Applications with Servlets and JSP

this book describes servlets, how they replace traditional cgi programs, from basic functionality to session based state management.the book is written in a clear manner with good practical examples.this is not a reference book, that is what the API docs are for. This is a book on implementing solutions with the servlet API.

I needed a book to get me quickly up to speed with Java servlets. This book is outstanding. It's very clearly written with concise examples illustrating many of the common uses of servlets including JDBC (which is why I needed it) and many others. If you are trying to use Java servlets in an HTML application, this is the book for you. You should be slightly familiar with Java though. If you are familiar with Java you will be cranking out servlets on your first day with this book. Hats off to James Goodwill.

This a pretty good book on Java servlets. Each chapter defines concisely what the topic is and then provides sample (working) code. It won't take you too long to master the basics of Java servlets. Each chapter is kept short and focused on a specific topic. You can quickly browse the book to see which chapter you are interested in and invest time accordingly. The best book I have in hand!

This is a great book for those new to servlets. I had no servlet experience! After I read it, I could create my own servlets quickly (http, forms, jdbc, rmi and others servlets applications). The samples are easy for beginners to follow and got me writing and running servlets by myself. I recommend it to those new to Java Servlets.

I was completely lost when I was asked to start writing servlets. I had the O'Reilly Java Servlet Programming book, but it was not exactly what I was looking for. I bought this book because each chapter was a "lesson" on servlets. I liked the clear and simple descriptions and the example code snippets. After reading this book, I had a roadmap of what I wanted to look for in the other servlet book. This is a great book for beginning servlet programmers who know a little bit of Java.
