JSP and Java: The Complete Guide to Website Development

Build dynamic, database-driven Web sites with Java technologies-step by step!

• The first book to cover the entire process of building Java-based Web sites
• Focuses on the most powerful open source tools for enterprise Web development
• JSP, JDBC, and JavaBeans: practical Java server-side solutions
• Covers Apache, Tomcat, and PostgreSQL installation, configuration, and use
• Includes comprehensive case study using powerful Java design patterns

Now, there's a start-to-finish guide to using Java and open source technologies to create cost-effective, scalable Web sites. In JSP and Java, Art Taylor presents real-world scenarios and code examples that leverage today's key Java and open source technologies-including JSP, JavaBeans, the Apache HTTP server, Tomcat JSP/servlet server, and the PostgreSQL database.

Taylor begins by introducing Java-based Web sites: their advantages, key components, and architectural attributes. Then, using powerful Java design patterns, he constructs a complete Web site using Java and open source tools-presenting extensive, carefully documented code examples throughout. JSP and Java covers:

• Apache Web server and the Jakarta-Tomcat application server: installation, integration, and use
• Building JavaServer Pages and deploying them on the Tomcat server
• Installing and configuring the Apache Web server, the world's most popular HTTP server
• Leveraging the strengths of Apache and Tomcat to maximize application scalability and stability
• Working with data stored in PostgreSQL databases-including detinstallation and configuration guidance
• Extensive code examples for building and deploying custom JSP tags and a discussion group application

JSP and Java is the first book to cover all the technologies needed to build Java-based Web sites. If you're ready to achieve the full promise of enterprise Web development, this is the book you've been searching for.
