Summary: Not for learning JSP quickly
Review: If you need to get a project done in JSP in a week (or less) I wouldn't recommend this book, there are others out there that are better suited for that. This book may be better as a reference once you are up an running or if you have the time to read all about the history of JSP, etc.... Not many examples of substance until you get past the first 200+ pages. It does have a JSP By Example but it is at the end of the book which makes you think that you should have covered the material previous before attempting that chapter.

Summary: This is it!
Review: I own various JSP/Servlet books - like the also excellent Core Servlets or the slightly disappointing JavaServer Pages by Hans Bergsten -, but this is the one I keep coming back to. Very clear approach and great examples. Not only does it get you started quickly, it also points out good practices and design principles. In my opinion this is the best book to get into server side Java.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Simply the best introduction to jsp. A little wordy, but worth the extra effort. A must buy, especially for those unfamiliar with jsp.

Summary: Used by the programmers of www.heaven.org...
Review: If God ever decided to create a website using server-side Java, he'd ensure that his programmers got this book to learn how to do it. I have a number of books on the topic, but this one is the best. It is well written, with clear examples. I purchased a copy for my library and after reading it, purchased additional copies for my staff. If you purchase a single book on this topic, make it this one.

Summary: One of the better JSP books
Review: This book is a decent guide to JSP and I think this really shines at the end when talking about Custom Taglibs. I had already read couple of other books but this book got me up and running with libs. The rest of JSP is so easy anyway.I dropped the fifth star because this book is a bit hard to scan for some specific info when you have a problem. This is more of a textbook and less of a reference.

Summary: Excellent JSP Coverage
Review: ... [This] book has a very clear, concise explanation of jsp technology from Sun. Wonderful descriptions of the startegies (servlet centric and jsp centric) and a sample project as well. It is that readable and u feel like finishing the book! If you are new to JSP and want to learn what it is all about BUY THIS BOOK. kudos to the authors.

Summary: Why do we have to re-invent the wheel?
Review: I haven't read this book. From editorial reviews and user reviews, I learned that the author recommended a jsp + bean architeture. This architecture is good for a small web site. It just won't scale. It is definitely NOT a good approach to implement an enterprise web site or a web site with heavy traffic. If we use jsp + bean appraoch, we have to implement our own connection pool, transaction control, security, resource control, cluster solution etc. Why don't we take advantage of existing J2EE technologies (such as EJB) and try to re-invent the wheel? This is the reason I gave the book three stars.
