Summary: Well-written and comprehensive!
Comment: I found this book to be very comprehensive and covering a wide range of topics and actually displaying many aspects of what one can do with java server pages.The chapters deal with usage of jsp as a scripting language,imbibing usage of Java programming language,javascript and Java Beans too. The author has done a very good job of kind of networking the recent technologies ...javabeans ,sending email using javabeans through a JSP and also actually developing an auction site using JSPs.The approach is very gradual and easy to understand without jumping into too much of technological jargon. I liked the way the book has dealt into explaining the JSPs ,the initial chapters which would be helpful to even a non-web-programming savvy person, as the basics of web programming,HTML, have also been explained.An experienced web programmer could skip the first chapter. Finally,a great job in introducing the 'hot' technology of wireless/mobile commerce and integrating the JSP with it. Good book for pouring into the world of JSP....well -written!

Summary: Great idea for book - but got lost in inconsistencies
Comment: I have been programming server side code for about 3 years. When my firm got a jsp project I immediately went browsing the local bookstore for some jsp books feeling confident that I could put my Java skills to work.
This book immediately caught my eye. It seemed to have everything I was looking for. While working through the first couple of chapters, I was utterly confused. The author tells you to name a page one name, but refers to the same page with a completely different name for its examples. this happens several times throughout the book. By trial and error I eventually got some of the code to work but with way too much effort.
This is not a simple walkthrough like the books title dictates. There are too many leaps from example to example and too many holes to fill. Most of my time was spent figuring out how to piece the several bits of code together to make the examples work. I am sure this is not the author's fault, but the publisher's rather. It's a shame, because this could have been a winner instead of the jumbling mess that it is. Also Que offers no errata to help out and the source code is just as confusing as the book!
If you wanna learn jsp quick, definately check out Wrox's Beginning JSP Web Development, or Forta's JSP book, and "scratch" this one of your list. Shame on you Que.

Summary: despite the other reviews
Comment: I read all the negative reviews and still bought the book. And as a student of JSP, I'm glad I did because I found it conceptually good and well written. And more importantly, easy to understand. It has definately given me a greater knowledge base of JSP.
