Java Servlet Programming

Java Servlet Programming

by JasonHunter (Author)

Synopsis

Servlets are important in that they tie Java to the Web, allowing programmers to write Java programs that create dynamic Web content. This book covers everything Java developers need to know to write effective servlets. It explains the servlet lifecycle, showing how to use servlets to maintain state information. It also describes how to serve dynamic Web content, including both HTML pages and multimedia data, and explores more advanced topics like integrated session tracking, efficient database connectivity using JDBC, applet-servlet communicaton, interservlet communication, and internationalization. Readers can use the book's numerous real-world examples as the basis for their own servlets. The second edition has been completely updated to cover the new features of Version 2.2 of the Java Servlet API. It introduces chapters on servlet security and advanced communication, and also introduces several popular tools for easier integration of servlet technology with dynamic Web pages including JavaServer Pages (JSP), Tea, XMLC, and the Element Construction Set.

Author Bio
Jason Hunter is a Java consultant, speaker, instructor, and author. Jason graduated summa cum laude from Willamette University (Salem, Oregon) in 1995 with a degree in computer science. After graduation, he worked at Silicon Graphics in Mountain View, California, for several years, where he was responsible for developing (and breaking) all sorts of Web technologies. He currently works as the Chief Technology Officer of a Silicon Valley start-up, K&A Software, where he specializes in Java training and consulting, with an emphasis on servlets. Jason also writes columns for JavaWorld. Jason began programming in Java in the summer of 1995 and has concentrated on servlets and related server-extension technologies since December 1996. If by some miracle you don't find him at work, he's probably out hiking in the mountains. William Will Crawford got involved with Web development back in 1995. He has worked at the Children's Hospital Informatics Program in Boston, where he helped develop the first Web-based electronic medical record system and was involved in some of the first uses of Java at the enterprise level. He has consulted on intranet development projects for, among others, Children's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, the Boston Anesthesia Education Foundation, and Harvard Medical Center. Will currently heads the product development team at Invantage, Inc., a Cambridge, Massachusetts, startup developing Java-based intranet tools for the pharmaceutical industry. In his spare time, he is an avid amateur photographer, writer, and pursuer of a bachelor's degree in economics at Yale University.
