I've only read Ch 12 - Designing Web Applications and Servlet Patterns, via PDF online at the authors site. It's worth the price alone - I went to my local bookstore to purchase it last night - but alast the isles are full of MS C# and .NET books.

However on to what I learned from Ch 12 - the patterns that are put into action are wonderful! I've used MVC in the past - but adding the 'Command & Controller' to MVC is a real boon! I've not been successful with pattern books in the past, because they typically do not provide code examples, which I find a great learning tool [ I'm a "visual" learner ]. This book includes great code examples, the graphics are very professional, and helpful also.

4 of 5 stars - I've not read the whole book - I've got to reserve total commitment til then.

Another great book from Wrox's Professional Series.

A more concise (700 pages) book than other in the 'Professional' range that I feel benefits from
a great choice of chapters that not only provides you with the basics of Java Servlets but also those topics often skipped over elsewhere.

Covering the new Servlet 2.3 API, deployment issues, filtering, scaleability techniques etc, this book provides a comprehensive insight to the use of Servlet Technology and best practices in the real world.

Aimed at the profesional Java developer this book is an excellent resource for anyone currently working with Servlets/JSP/Webapps or any one wishing to learn Java Servlet Technology.

I worked as a Technical Reviewer on this book and can personally vouch for the excellent array of chapters each packed with easily adaptible, real world examples.

Hiya All,

I have this book for sometime now, and I think, you can't have a better book to learn Servlets 2.3 API. Specially, the Chap on MVC pattern was very good. I liked the way the book has been written. There are lots of practicle examples in the book. The Patterns have been explained in a very good manner. But my favourite is Chap 8. Its downright interesting that how you can combine a database with a JSP page to create a Web Apps. I had some problems in Running the code and had to take the help of Wrox People, But I managed it with there help. Overall, a dependable book.

This is a very good book.
It is a must have for any serious web-application devloper.
It explains well all the subjects you need to know about servlet programming.

Buying this book saves you lot of learning-by-step time.
I really suggest this title.
Finally one book that i'm glad to pay.

This is my forst wrox book but, if all worx books are like this one, for sure not the last.
