None of those. I went through a lot of books looking for the right information. Only one fit the bill and I HIGHLY recommend it:
Advanced JavaServer Pages - David M. Geary - www.phptr.com This book covers everything about JSP but more importantly it covers the right things like: Model 1 and Model 2 (MVC) Architecture at length. Custom Tags Servlets Internationalization Database Connection (Though I wish he had done it using JNDI) Templates XML /XSLT and JSP Event Handling (Form resubmission trapping) All the code is available online too, so if you like something he's doing you can go pick it up and use it. This is book is on my desk all the time and doesn't leave my desk. It's always a great reference for a lot of the things we do day to day. The other book which is important, but not necessarily related to JSP only is called Core J2EE Patterns - Best Paractices and Design Strategies - from the same company > 1. Professional Java Server Programming J2EE 1.3 Edition (Wrox) This is not a tutorial type book really more like a reference > 2. Professional JSP 2nd Edition (Wrox) This is a good book, but doesn't cover the important things in detail like the ones I mentioned. > 3. J2EE Unleashed (SAMS, Techmedia) Anything with Unleashed is kinda scary to me :-) R =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
