Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
If you're considering a move toward Sun's Java Web Server (JWS), this thorough and enthusiastically written guide to server-side Java may be the deciding factor. Besides essential server administration and development tips, this book covers many exciting Java server-side technologies.
The authors of Core Java Web Server argue consistently that JWS offers a better way. Early sections show how to install JWS on Windows NT, Windows 95, Solaris, and Unix. The tour of basic Web administration is useful to anyone who is setting up JWS for the first time.
Next comes an introduction to servlets--Java code that executes on the server. The authors cover generic servlets first and examine strategies and essential Java APIs for developers. Then they explain the basics of the HTTP protocol and servlets that generate HTML on the fly. These chapters provide crucial advice that will be useful for any serious Java Web developer. (Java servlets offer many distinct advantages over traditional Common Gateway Interface [CGI] scripts.)
Later chapters show you that there are some tricks you'll need to know to implement servlets effectively, including material on such topics as caching and session management (using built-in Java APIs). The book closes with new server-side technologies from Sun, such as Server Beans, and Java Server Pages (JSP). --Richard Dragan

* Also includes a complete overview of the Servlet API - with real-life coding examples
Dynamic, flexible, and easy to use, the Java Web Server is the first full-fledged Web server written in Java and the first to support Sun's hot new servlet technology. Taylor and Kimmet show you exactly why Java Web Server is the ideal platform for next-generation Web applications. First, you'll walk through the installation and configuration of Java Web Server on several different operating systems. Next, you'll master key features of the product, including extensible security, virtual hosting, logging, and aliases. You will also learn practical administration, troubleshooting, benchmarking, and optimization techniques.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Really a poor-quality book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Core Java Web Server (Paperback)
I never write any book review after I finish reading a book. However, this book is so bad that I decide to write a few comments to warn other readers. There are several reasons that you should not buy this book. (1) It is badly-written. I sometimes find that some of these figures are not correctly labelled. Authors should find a good software to write their book. (2) It is poorly-organized. After I read it twice, it is still very hard for me to find some information quickly. (3) It is out-of-date. Its servlet API is version 2.0. A few examples that you read cannot run at all on Java Web Server 2.0. It is talking about Java Web Server 1.1.1. The current of Java Web server version is 2.0. (4) There are many better books than this one. After I have read quite a few Servlet books, I find that the best one is probably Professional Java Server Programming. The Second best is Jason Hunter's Servlet Programming which has a nice collection of useful servlets. (5) The examples in this book are trivial.It is not really worthing reading it.

Great book that offers examples that are very unique.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Core Java Web Server (Paperback)
This is an excellent book from start to end. I don't own the Java Web Server, so I use Apache with JRun and the examples in this book work great with my environment. A significant amount of the examples that I saw on the SUN site included HTTP servlets that did the bulk of their work by overriding the service method. When I read the chapter on HTTP servlets I learned how to extend the HttpServlet class and how to override the doGet, doPost and other methods to "cleanly" support different HTTP methods. This was worth the price of the book by itself. I didn't understand everything in the Http Servlet chapter until I went back and read the chapter on the HTTP protocol. That was very useful as well. There are examples in this book that I've never seen before. For example, I never knew what JNDI was and I always wanted to learn XML. This book has great coverage of both JNDI and XML and shows you how to code servlets that use this powerful technology. I don't know much about object oriented programming either. This book introduced me to a significant amount of programming paradigms called "design patterns" that are very useful. There is a chapter on session management that uses a design pattern called "state" to provide a very unique and very extendable architecture for a JNDI-based servlet. I am employing this exact architecture in my own project and it works extremely well and is very extendable. The authors of this book really put their minds together to produce a book that includes a unique set of examples that cannot be found elsewhere. I recommended this book to a friend that is a Security guru (a topic which I know nothing about). He said the coverage on Security was excellent. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone that wants to make a living programming servlets like I do.

Fills a need,
By A Customer
This review is from: Core Java Web Server (Paperback)
I read this book, and I found it a refreshing change from other web books that cover the *same* "shopping card applications" and "how to make efficient JDBC calls from a servlet" topics. For instance, in the Appendix on XML, the authors write a servlet that generates CDF files for an entire web site. As someone who already knows how to do JDBC, I found this to be a good example of how much different this book was from other servlet books (and I think you will too).
