Mastering JSP - Todd Cook

Server-Side Development Is Easier Than You Think Not so long ago, anyone who knew HTML, even casually, was considered to have a special skill. Now, if you don't at least dabble in server-side web development, you're already behind. Fortunately, Mastering JSP is a great way to build the skills you need today. Inside, you'll learn to design and develop a wide range of JSP-based web applications, beginning with a basic, dynamically generated website. From there you'll build apps that read from and write to databases, create your own custom tags, and process and present XML. Throughout, you're helped by detailed, completely illuminated examples. Coverage includes: Making a servlet configurable Using JavaBeans inside Java Server Pages Building basic JavaBeans for storing user preferences and utility functions Recovering source code from binary class files Building a basic database application Handling exceptions and using asserts Redirecting error output to a file Scanning error logs using a servlet Using a pop-up menu to avoid troublesome actions Displaying XML files using XSLT and JSP Making a servlet-based watermarking application Providing dynamic authentication with roles, permissions, and access Building a Model-View Controller application Improving prototyping with ResultSets using a custom class Abstracting data access code using Java Objects Creating a custom tag to handle client-side JavaScript Abstracting data access SQL using meta-data, JavaBeans, and EJB Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.
