Chapter 1. Introducing JSP and Tomcat

Abstract

Interactivity is what makes the Web really useful. By interacting with a remote server, you can find the information you need, keep in touch with your friends, or purchase something online. And every time you type something into a web form, an application “out there” interprets your request and prepares a web page to respond.

Chapter 2. JSP Elements

Abstract

A JSP page is made out of a page template, which consists of HTML code and JSP elements such as scripting elements, directive elements, and action elements. In the previous chapter, after explaining how to install Java and Tomcat, I introduced you to JSP and explained JSP’s role within web applications. In this chapter, I’ll describe in detail the first two types of JSP elements. For the action elements, refer to Chapter 4.

Chapter 3. JSP Application Architectures

Abstract

In the first two chapters, you learned a large portion of JSP’s components through brief examples. In this chapter, I will tell you how everything fits together in complex applications.

Chapter 4. JSP in Action

Abstract

In Chapter 2, you learned that there are three types of JSP elements: scripting, directives, and actions. I described the first two types directly in Chapter 2, and the time has come to look at JSP actions. Actions, like scriptlets, are processed when a page is requested. In this chapter, you will learn how to use JSP standard actions, how to create actions of your own design, and how to use some of the actions contained in the JSP Standard Tag Library. Besides small specific examples, you will also learn the role of actions in the eshop application that I introduced in the previous chapter. Actions can do everything that scripting elements can do, as you will see at the end of the next chapter, when I will tell you how to write JSP code without any scripting element at all.

Chapter 5. XML and JSP

Abstract

HTML is probably the first markup language most of us came into contact with. It’s a great language, but it’s not without its problems.

Chapter 6. Databases

Abstract

In many cases, a web application is nothing more than a front end for a database (DB). In fact, what makes web pages dynamic is precisely the fact that there is a significant amount of data behind them.

Chapter 7. JavaServer Faces 2.2

Abstract

In this chapter, I’ll introduce you to JSF and show you how to use it to create user interfaces for webbased applications. Within the MVC application architecture I described in Chapter 3 (refer to Figure 3-2), JSF takes the place of the controller, thereby mediating every interaction between JSP (the View) and the Model, which encapsulates the application data. JSF makes the development of web applications easier by:

Letting you create user interfaces from a set of standard UI components wired to server-side objects
Making available four custom tag libraries to handle those UI components
Providing a mechanism for extending the standard UI components

Chapter 8. JSF and eshop

Abstract

In Chapter 3, I introduced the eshop project, followed in Chapter 6 by eshopx, functionally identical to eshop except that I replaced the JSP pages containing scripting elements with JSP documents in XML format.

Giulio Zambon

Chapter 9. Tomcat

Abstract

I’ve been using Tomcat in all the previous chapters to show you examples of servlets, JSP pages, and documents. Now it’s time to talk about Tomcat itself.

Giulio Zambon

Chapter 10. eshop*

Abstract

In several chapters of this book, I’ve used examples taken from three different versions of an online bookshop application: eshop (see Chapter 3), eshopx (introduced in Chapter 6), and eshopf (the subject of Chapter 8). In this chapter, I’ll complete the description of those applications so that you can use them as models for your own.
