Java Servlet & JSP Cookbook

What's in the Book :
Java Servlet & JSP Cookbook?
In creating the recipes for this book and tutorial, This book to cover as many common and advanced web developer tasks as Java Servlet & JSP Cookbook could practically fit into one book. This amounts to about 230 different recipes. Each recipe shows how to implement a particular task using servlets, JSPs, and, in many cases, one or more supporting Java classes.

The recipes show how to:
•Authenticate web clients
•Interact with databases
•Send email
•Handle submitted data from a web form
•Read and set "cookies"
•Upload files from the client
•Integrate JavaScript with servlets and JSPs
•Embed multimedia files like digital movies and music in JSPs and servlets •Handle web clients whose users speak different languages (internationalization) •Log messages from servlets and JSPs
•Dynamically include chunks of content, as in traditional server-side include (SSI) code
•Interact with Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) from a JSP and servlet
•Use Amazon.com's and Google.com's Web Services APIs from a servlet or JSP

Java Servlet & JSP Cookbook also included numerous technology-specific recipes, such as:
•Using "sessions" in your Java web applications (a concept that represents the tracking of a user's progress through a web site)
•Working with "filters"
•Using the open source ANT tool to build web applications
•Binding Java objects to a session or web application so they can be used as information or data containers
•Creating your own custom tags for JSPs
•Using the JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL), which is a large set of prebuilt tags you can use in JSPs

In short, the book is designed to help guide Java web developers in their everyday tasks, and to provide quick solutions to typical web-related problems.

BEA WebLogic Recipes :
Because Java web developers tend to work with both Tomcat and a proprietary application server, Java Servlet & JSP Cookbook included a number of different recipes to show how to implement common tasks with BEA WebLogic. As a practical matter, This book could not cover the several other application servers that are available, such as IBM's WebSphere, JBoss, Jetty, Oracle 9i application server, or commercial servlet engines such as New Atlanta ServletExec and Caucho Resin. But this book wanted to include recipes covering "how the other half lives" in terms of using various vendor tools for managing everyday web-application tasks. Solutions involving the deployment or revision of web components and deployment descriptors using visual interfaces such as WebLogic's Administration Console or WebLogic Builder can be quite different from those used with Tomcat.

Core Servlets and Java Server Pages

Ebooks and tutorial Core Servlets and Java Server Pages (JSP) is divided into three parts: Servlets, JavaServer Pages, and Supporting Technologies.

Part I: Servlets
Part I covers servlet development with the 2.1 and 2.2 specifications.
Although version 2.2 (along with JSP 1.1) is mandated by the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), many commercial products are still at the earlier releases, so it is important to understand the differences.
Also, although servlet code is portable across a huge variety of servers and operating systems, server setup and configuration details are not standardized.
So, I include specific details for Apache Tomcat, Sun’s JavaServer Web Development Kit (JSWDK), and the Java Web Server.

Servlet topics include:
• When and why you would use servlets
• Obtaining and configuring the servlet and JSP software
• The basic structure of servlets
• The process of compiling, installing, and invoking servlets
• Generating HTML from servlets
• The servlet life cycle
• Page modification dates and browser caches
• Servlet debugging strategies
• Reading form data from servlets
• Handling both GET and POST requests with a single servlet
• An on-line resume posting service
• Reading HTTP request headers from servlets
• The purpose of each of the HTTP 1.1 request headers
• Reducing download times by compressing pages
• Restricting access with password-protected servlets
• The servlet equivalent of each standard CGI variable
• Using HTTP status codes
• The meaning of each of the HTTP 1.1 status code values
• A search engine front end
• Setting response headers from servlets
• The purpose of each of the HTTP 1.1 response headers
• Common MIME types
• A servlet that uses the Refresh header to repeatedly access ongoing computations
• Servlets that exploit persistent (keep-alive) HTTP connections
• Generating GIF images from servlets
• Cookie purposes and problems
• The Cookie API
• Some utilities that simplify cookie handling
• A customized search engine front end
• The purposes of session tracking
• The servlet session tracking API
• Using sessions to show per-client access counts
• An on-line store that uses session tracking, shopping carts, and pages automatically built from catalog entries

Part II: JavaServer Pages
JSP provides a convenient alternative to servlets for pages that mostly consist of fixed content.
Part II covers the use of JavaServer Pages version 1.0 and 1.1.
JSP topics include:
• When and why you would use JavaServer Pages
• How JSP pages are invoked
• Using JSP expressions, scriptlets, and declarations
• Predefined variables that can be used within expressions and scriptlets
• The page directive
• Designating which classes are imported
• Specifying the MIME type of the page
• Generating Excel spreadsheets
• Controlling threading behavior
• Participating in sessions
• Setting the size and behavior of the output buffer
• Designating pages to process JSP errors
• XML-compatible syntax for directives
• Including JSP files at the time the main page is translated into a servlet
• Including HTML or plain text files at the time the client requests the page
• Including applets that use the Java Plug-In
• Using JavaBeans with JSP
• Creating and accessing beans
• Setting bean properties explicitly
• Associating bean properties with input parameters
• Automatic conversion of bean property types
• Sharing beans among multiple JSP pages and servlets
• Creating JSP tag libraries
• Tag handler classes
• Tag library descriptor files
• The JSP taglib directive
• Simple tags
• Tags that use attributes
• Tags that use the body content between their start and end tags
• Tags that modify their body content
• Looping tags
• Nested tags
• Integrating servlets and JSP
• Forwarding requests from servlets to static and dynamic resources
• Using servlets to set up beans for use by JSP pages
• An on-line travel agency combining servlets and JSP
• Including JSP output in servlets
• Forwarding requests from JSP pages

Part III: Supporting Technologies
Part III covers three topics that are commonly used in conjunction with servlets and JSP: HTML forms, applets talking to servlets, and JDBC.
Topics include:
• Sending data from forms
• Text controls
• Push buttons
• Check boxes and radio buttons
• Combo boxes and list boxes
• File upload controls
• Server-side image maps
• Hidden fields
• Grouping controls
• Tab ordering
• A Web server for debugging forms
• Sending GET data from an applet and having the browser display the results
• Having applets send GET data and process the results themselves (HTTP tunneling)
• Using object serialization to exchange high-level data structures between applets and servlets
• Having applets send POST data and process the results themselves
• Applets bypassing the HTTP server altogether
