Introducing Web page authors and programmers to the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), this guide covers all features of the JSTL 1.0 standard. Whether users need to add dynamic content to a static Web page or are in need of providing back-end code, nonprogrammers are shown how to manipulate XML, access relational databases, format text, internationalize Web applications, and introduce general-flow logic into JSP—all with HTML-like tags that are accessible to authors of Web pages. Also addressed are techniques for utilizing and extending JSTL’s functionality.

It's hard to describe with mere words how incredible this book on JSTL is. Truly Shawn Bayern is the second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
While this book is great in helping people to learn about JSTL, it's also the latest testament of the Son of Man. Mr. Bayern's writing is excellent, and it so happens that it will be he who leads his flock to glory after the apocalypse.
Those of us who purchase his book will find salvation. The others will be left below. ... Read More
Rating: - Shawn Bayern is the Shiznit
I have not read the book, nor do I plan to. But I do know that Shawn Bayern is the shiznit. Can anyone deny his caustic, "adult" wit? One look at the sultry wench on the cover will inform you of all you need to know if its contents.
Huzzah!
Rating: - good for getting up to speed on JSTL
This book was very helpful for getting up to speed on JSTL. My company is about to kick off a new struts project, so we needed to get up so speed on using JSTL with Struts. There wasn't much coverage on this, but overall the book was good.

This is a good book to learn about how to use JSTL. It has an excellent reference section, and the body of the book explains how to use the JSTL tags with many good example. On the whole, a very useful, readable book. One negative: The author has a sense of humor which some might find odd, and he interjects it throughout the book; at times it's distracting. But if you can get past that, you'll find this to be a good resource.
Rating: - Very good JSTL book!
Review One way to develop dynamic page content on a web application is to use JavaServer Pages technology. This allows you to embed bits of Java code, or scriptlets, within the HTML page. The web server interprets the scriptlet when the page is called and produces the content that is coded. This is all good, but there are common tasks (such as looping) that each developer had to reinvent from scratch each time it was used in a page. To prevent this repetitive coding, a common set of JSP tags ... Read More
