Hi Bob, I disagree with you that one needs to Learn Servlets before going to JSP.Coz the reason JSP was developed was to help Page designers who know html and were supposed to learn bit of JSP to get work done. If you see JSP internally converted by JSP Enginer to Servlets. Thanks, Bilal

Create my Book.java bean (http://pastebin.com/fe232e2b) 2. My home page which is index.jsp will have a link to the book list which is a link to a servlet (BookServlet.java) that will create the book list for me (usually you do this with a data source but we'll just hardcode the list in this case) and then the servlet will dispatch the request to a jsp(bookCatalog.jsp) and the jsp will display the book list. (http://pastebin.com/f4566c599) 3. So in BookServlet.java we've added the bookList object to the session and we can get it in bookCatalog.jsp using EL and display it using JSTL(forEach) as well. (http://pastebin.com/f3f13befd) But again since you missed out on these concepts I strongly recommend going back to EL and JSTL. The codes assume you know what to import. They may have some errors as I just wrote it on pastebin but it should give you the idea.

Can you tell me when you EL helps you reference bean maps etc then what exactly do you mean???? thanks Sadia --- On Wed, 11/25/09, Bob Santos <bob.santo...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Bob Santos <bob.santo...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [java ee programming] Question To: buttsa...@yahoo.com Cc: java-ee-j2ee-programming-with-passion@googlegroups.com Date: Wednesday, November 25, 2009, 4:50 AM Hi Sadia, Don't overwhelm yourself, just take on each topic one by one practice coding using the things you learn cause I think right now you are skimming through the whole JSP topic which is hard to understand if you don't start it from the beginning. IMHO, you have to understand how servlets work before you learn JSP cause it would be easier to understand JSP then. And then when you start with JSP start with scriptlets first, then EL, JSTL and custom tags. Scriptlets are java code snippets you put with your HTML code. Expression language helps you reference beans, maps, lists and other objects easily. JSTL are the standard jsp tags that help you get rid of unnecessary scriptlets like looping, database access, etc. While custom tags, are tags that you create yourself. You will be fine with JSP if you understand basic JSP(Scriptlets, expression, declaration), EL and JSTL. But again, don't try to rush things.

While going through the web application development I found a lot of things & I wanted to know the difference between them. First I saw scriplets expressions then I saw expression language then I found JSTL or the tags which start with <jsp: then we have something called custom tags as well....I am confused in this. Can anyone help me in this what exactly things are active in the market & what should we cover in order to learn JSP??? thanka Sadia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java EE (J2EE) Programming with Passion!" group.
