In my experience O'Reilly books are generally good, and "Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages" is no exception. O'Reilly books tend to be quite short and concentrated (unlike A.N.Other publisher whose technical books are verbose doorstops you need a truck to carry around).
-----Original Message----- From: Galbreath, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 April 2002 11:15 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Need Recommendation on Servlet / XLST book I haven't had the opportunity to read Wutka's book (yet). I have read Hans Bergsten's excellent "JavaServer Pages" (O'Reilly, 2001), Marty Hall's outstanding "Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages" (Sun/Prentice-Hall, 2000) and "More Servlets and JavaServer Pages (Sun/Prentice-Hall, 2002). I am reading David Geary's "Advanced JavaServer Pages" (Sun/Prentice-Hall, 2001) now, and so far am a bit disappointed. I think Hall actually has deeper coverage, but I've only read 3 chapters so far. An excellent resource for JSP tag libraries is Shachor, et. al., "JSP Tag Libraries" (Manning, 2001). Of course, the first treatment of the subject I ever read was Jason Hunter's 1st edition of "Java Servlet Programming." Jason, however, now believes JSP is not the best solution (see: http://www.servlets.com/soapbox/problems-jsp.html). And, of course, there is absolutely no substitute for reading the specifications themselves (java.sun.com/products/servlet, java.sun.com/products/jsp).
