InCore JSTL, leading Java platform expert David Geary presents the definitive guide to JSTL. Through practical examples and extensive sample code, Geary demonstrates how JSTL simplifies, streamlines, and standardizes a wide range of common Web development tasks. Coverage includes using JSTL tags for accessing JavaBeans components and collections, iteration, importing URLs, database access, working with XML, internationalization and localization; using the brand new JSTL expression language; and extending JSTL with custom tags.
The "JSP Standard Tag Library" is a collection of commonly used functions and tools invaluable to JSP developers to avoid recreating the same functions on site after site. This book starts with an in-depth discussion of the JSP STL, then goes beyond the standard library to teach developers to create their own tags to further encapsulate the most common features of their specific applications.
With literally hundreds of examples and thousands of lines of code, the Java Servlet and JSP Cookbook yields tips and techniques that any Java web developer who uses JavaServer Pages or servlets will use every day, along with full-fledged solutions to significant web application development problems that developers can insert directly into their own applications.Java Servlet and JSP Cookbook presents real-world problems, and provides concise, practical solutions to each. Finding even one tested code "recipe" that solves a gnarly problem in this comprehensive collection of solutions and best practices will save hours of frustration--easily justifying the cost of this invaluable book.But "Java Servlet and JSP Cookbook" is more than just a wealth of cut-and-paste code. It also offers clear explanations of how and why the code works, warns of potential pitfalls, and directs you to sources of additional information, so you can learn to adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar situations.These recipes include vital topics like the use of Ant to setup a build environment, extensive coverage of the WAR file format and web.xml deployment descriptor, file-uploading, error-handling, cookies, logging, dealing with non-HTML content, multimedia, request filtering, web services, I18N, web services, and a host of other topics that frustrate even the most seasoned developers.For Java web developers of all levels who are eager to put into practice the theory presented in other API-focused books, the solutions presented in this practical book will prove invaluable over and over again. This is painless way for less experienced developers who prefer to learn by doing to expand their skills and productivity, while accomplishing practical solutions to the pressing problems they face every day. More experienced developers can use these recipes to solve time-consuming problems quickly, freeing up their time for the more creative aspects of their work.
JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Servlets are nowadays being extensively used to develop web application software. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the fundamental and the advanced concepts of JavaServer Pages (JSP) and Servlets. It focuses on Server-side Programming using JSP and Servlets; JSP with MySQL; JSP with XML; the Expression Language; JSP Standard Tag Library; Custom Tag Library; Application Event Listeners and Filters. While discussing JSP with MySQL and JSP with XML, the fundamentals of Database Programming and XML are covered in order to lay a proper foundation for discussing SQL and XML tags of JSTL. Similarly, the concept of time zones, locales and resource bundles are explained in detail before discussing JSTL and formatting tags. A separate chapter is dedicated to each of the four tag libraries—Core; SQL; XML; and formatting with detailed coverage of custom tags. The book is designed primarily for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer science and engineering, and computer applications. The IT professionals working on Advanced Web technologies and Web Component Development will also find this book useful. KEY FEATURES Sample Programs in each chapter Theory Questions at the end of each chapter for checking the student’s grip on the topic Programming Questions at the end of each chapter to test the ability of the reader to apply conceptual knowledge in practical situations

Learn and master the new features in the JSF 2.3 MVC web framework in this definitive guide written by two of the JavaServer Faces (JSF) specification leads. The authors take you through real-world examples that demonstrate how these new features are used with other APIs in Java EE 8. You’ll see the new and exciting ways JSF applications can use to communicate between a client and a server, such as using WebSockets, invoking bean methods directly from Ajax, executing client-side JavaScript when Ajax calls complete, and more Along the way you’ll broaden your knowledge of JSF components and web APIs best practices, and learn a great deal about the internals of JSF and the design decisions that have been made when building the JSF API. For example, you’ll see what artefacts are now CDI injectable, how CDI changed JSF internally, and what some of the caveats are when working with the CDI versions of a JSF artefact. Furthermore, you'll build an example application from scratch. After reading The Definitive Guide to JSF in Java EE 8, you'll be ready to build your own efficient and secure web applications. What You Will Learn Leverage the new features in JSF 2.3 in your existing applications Integrate JSF and CDI Use the brand new Component Search Expression framework, which enables you to more easily locate components from your template Extend the Component Search Expression framework with your own search operators Work with the different ways of mapping requests to JSF, make your application use extensionless URLs, and programmatically inspect which resources are present in your application Master the best practices for web application development and see which are obsolete Who This Book Is For Existing JSF or Java developers who need to create a web UI. No prior knowledge of JSF is required, but the book does skew towards the more experienced developer. Concepts such as dependency injection and MVC are assumed to be known, as is a general knowledge about HTML, HTTP and other web standards.
JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a technology for building dynamic web applications that can access databases and provide an interactive experience for users. It's a powerful technology with open source implementations (server and platform independent) for building enterprise Web applications. With JSP, existing business systems can be leveraged with minimal overhead, maintenance, and support. JSP: Practical Guide for Java Programmers is designed to cover the essentials of JSP including the basic JSP constructs and the relevant implicit objects as well as more advanced concepts such as incorporating JavaBeans, developing custom tags, utilizing the JSP expression language, building with the JSP Standard Tag Library, and developing complete JSP-Servlet application. - Covers the latest release of JSP, version 2.0, and covers new features such as the Expression Language and Standard Tag Library. - Includes a sample application of an electronic bank Web site, showing the power of JSP in providing the foundation for building Web applications. - Provides a clear, straight-to-the-point approach to the JSP so that readers can start using it in their own projects right away.
