I used this book as the text for a course in applied client/server computing. This book passed the test: I would definitely use it again.
The 'alternating page' format that the authors use is unique. It makes the information in the book very easy to absorb: description on the left page, code example on the right page. It's so simple and so effective it makes me wish I'd thought of it first. ;) And even with so many code examples, I don't recall finding a single error.

For easy to follow, complete, working examples with full explanation, this is the book.

This book is fine if you are still using Tomcat 4.1 as a release enviroment for your web apps. If you are like the rest of the world and have moved on to Tomcat 5 or 6, then forget it. This means the 2.1/1.2 Servlet/JSP specs rather than the 2.5/2.1 spec. From 1.2->2.1 there have been some ... Read More
