Rating: - Great JSP Book for Beginners and Novices
This is an excellent book. I highly recommend it for anyone starting out in JSP and for those who want a great refresher. This book is well organized and flows well from start to finish.

I think all JSP development teams should have this book nearby.
Highly recommended.
