Java for the Web With Servlets, Jsp, and Ejb: A Developer's Guide to Scalable Solutions

by Budi Kurniawan

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.

This is the third nominally-introductory Java EE textbook I've read in the last couple of months. At the time that it was written, this textbook might have been a reasonably good introduction to the subject; there were even a few (albeit rare) moments in early chapters where it did a better job of crystallizing a concept for me than Java EE 7: The Big Picture did for that same concept. However, this textbook was published in 2002, long before the Java language gained support for generics or annotations, both of which are now essential to modern "enterprise" as well as desktop Java development.

Even as a historical snapshot, however, this textbook is really not very good. It's not as bad an introduction as the Java EE 8 Cookbook, which claimed to assume only a basic understanding of core Java but actually assumed a thorough understanding of Java EE throughout; unlike that book, Java for the Web starts nearly from scratch, and builds up as the book goes on. However, this book often spends between several paragraphs and many pages on roundabout descriptions of simple and straightforward ideas that would be better conveyed by a summary of no more than a sentence or two, while rushing past concepts and topics that deserve careful and subtle coverage with either a bare mention or a code listing with no real explanation. If it were a current textbook, a reader with good development instincts could easily overcome that defect by skimming the over-coverage sections and rereading and thinking about the passages where detail is lacking; unlike the Jave EE 8 Cookbook, this book does not leave the Java EE novice more confused after finishing it than when he began. But since this book is over a decade and a half old, it's simply not worth reading, especially since there are alternatives, such as Java EE 7: The Big Picture, that are reasonably recent and better written.
