Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
For Java developers, download time and execution performance significantly limit the practical sphere of Java applets. Server-side Java is the key solution. Developing Java Servlets presents this important technology for proficient Java developers; however, don't look here for a primer to the base Java language.
While the book includes numerous Java code examples, the lack of a companion CD-ROM is disappointing. And while there is a reference to the publisher's Web site, it wasn't easy to find the URL in the book. The writing is also a bit choppy in places.
To illustrate many of the concepts in the book, a complete sample application is presented. The author uses an online movie catalog system as the book's case study. This example includes database access, user interface implementation, and simple shopping basket features to put the technology in good perspective.
Developing Java Servlets expects readers to have expertise in Java and a basic understanding of object-oriented programming going in. As long as you have this background, it is a solid manual to the cross-platform server processing architecture. --Stephen W. Plain
Topics covered: Development environment, communication details of servlets, and using servlets to access databases with the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) architecture.

There are two polarized schools of thought in the customer reviews of this book. Most say 'its the best' while a few of us say 'waste of time'. My read is that its a decent into to servlets for novices. But it is ultimately insufficient for anyone doing serious proffessional servlet work. The table of contents covers almost all the bases you'd want a servlet book to cover. But it gets increasingly shallow as you get into it. And the examples just don't cut it.
Bottom line: its not a bad first taste of servlets for novices. But if you do servlets proffessionally, this is a light read. Expect to need another reference text.

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.

It is a pretty good book on Java Servlets and also include other server side Java concepts. Be aware, this book is useful only if U know java programming concepts and wanted to learn Java Servlets and ofcourse, the book is intended for the same. Author, introduced all basic/important servlet programming concepts very clearly/briefly with simple, easy to understand examples and this book can be used for fast track learning. The price is also very less and I am sure U won't repend for buying this book.

Great Book For Learning Servlet API
Hi,
This is great book if you want to learn Java Servlet API. If you have little bit experience in Java then this is the best book to start with Servlets.

Great Update to the First Edition!
This book is well put together, and is a good reference for Servlets and JSPs. The first edition was a bit outdated and irrelevant, so this book is much appreciated. Read more

This book jumps right into setting up re-usable Servlet components before a novice would even have a chance to understand the code. Read more

Very good but careless
This is a very good book, in my opinion, covering a very important technology. But there are many odd errors which slow down one's ability to make it through the book. Read more
