From the Back Cover

Write leading-edge Web Server Applications with Java. With this guide you leave CGI behind and use Java to develop the versatile, distributed, Internet-based applications Web users and businesses demand. Written by a development pro, and crammed with sample code, this book shows you each step as you: Learn about the Java Web Server; Discover how to automatically create distribution ZIP and JAR files using class dependencies; process data from HTML forms within servlets; return data formatted in HTML from a database; make remote method calls from applets to servlets via HTTP (without RMI); construct a Java code generator that automated distributed object programming; create a thin-client JDBC driver (type 3) that uses HTTP tunneling through any JDBC or ODBC driver on the server; write servlets that use RMI to communicate with other Java servers. Java Servlets is the most comprehensive guide to the Java Servlet API available. With an appendix containing the complete servlet API classes, this professional guide is all you need to get servlets up, running-and performing every trick in the book-in record time. On the CD-ROM: All files compatible with Windows and Solaris: Java Servlet API; All book source code; Borland JBuilder Trial Version; New Atlanta's ServletExec; Live Software's industry-leading JRun servlet engine.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book was far too shallow., June 18, 1999

This review is from: Java Servlets (Java Masters) (Paperback)

The author obviously knows what he is talking about. However, he is quite inept at explaining to his reader what he is doing. In fact, he rarely tries. He just has sample code, helps you set up the java webserver, then has you run the code. It is more about webserver configuration than it is about servlet programming

2.0 out of 5 stars Shallow coverage of servlets, may be of use for beginners, September 28, 1999

This review is from: Java Servlets (Java Masters) (Paperback)

I flicked through this title in the bookshop, while looking for some good servlet titles. The coverage of this book is pretty shallow - for example their only mention of cookies is an API listing. Most servlet books cover cookies and session management, as well as more advanced (but related) servlet topics. I'd highly recommend "Inside Servlets : Server-Side Programming for the Java Platform" by Dustin R. Callaway instead.

This review is from: Java Servlets with CDROM (Enterprise Computing) (Paperback)

This book gives a brief introduction to servlet programming. If you are a beginner then this book is for you. If have some experience with web programming then you might want to look for another title. Buy this if you are new to Java and Servlets....
