Java for Web with Servlets, JSP and EJB is the one book you need to master Java web programming. It covers all the technologies needed to program web applications in Java using Servlets 2.3, JSP 1.2, EJB 2.0 and client-side programming with JavaScript. These technologies are explained in the context of real-world projects, such as an e-commerce application, a document management program, file upload and programmable file download, and an XML-based online book project.
In addition to excellent content, this book includes licenses to two Java web components from BrainySoftware.com. You receive a full license of the Programmable File Download component for commercial and non-commercial deployment. You are also granted to a license to deploy the author's popular File Upload bean for non-commercial use, which has been licensed by the Fortune 500 company Commerce One and purchased by major corporations such as Saudi Business Machine, Ltd. and Baxter Healthcare Corporation.

Average Rating:
Rating: - Old, outdated, bad example code.
This might have been a good book when it was current, but any book that includes example code with "catch (Exception e) {}" is very suspect.
I'd recommend looking for something else.
Rating: - Incomplete
This book for online learning is filled with excessive errors and erratic distribution of information (meaning it assumes you know more than you may). Though well organized, the in book syntax that is provided with the book CD is inconsistently named throughout many of the examples.
It also gives extremely poor instructions for anyone setting up Tomcat and or your first JDBC for the first time.
Rating: - Best Book for starters in Java Web Technologies
This is a very good book for starters in Java related Web technologies. It would have been better had struts been covered by it (so 4 stars).
The book is written in a style very easy to understand and the example code covers all the doubts we generally get while writing code. If you are looking towards J2EE with good core Java skills, then this is the best book available.
Rating: - The best intro to J2EE
This book is very easy to read and gives an awesome introduction to J2EE developers. Very practical and great examples to understand the concepts.
Rating: - Good but obsolete
Last year, I would have given this book 5 stars. After all, it is the best servlet/JSP book ever written (covers Servlet 2.3, JSP 1.2 and EJB 2.1) with advanced topics not to be found in similar books. However, the current versions of Servlet is 2.4 and JSP 2.1 is about to be released. Not to mention that EJB 3.0 is on its way.
I would recommend would be readers to wait for the next edition.
