The book is great: easy, but still good level, clear and covers a lot of aspects around the topic (like db connection) very interesting.
Please note the value addede:
JavaServer Pages Review, January 11 2002
Very, very, very nice book on JSP. You can be sure that when you'll finish it you'll know everything. When I started it, i had a very poor knowledge in web applications, JSP,... but now i think i've a big background. If you start with JSP, that's the book you need. I give 4 because nothing or nobody is perfect but...

JavaServer Pages Review, December 06 2001
This is hands down the best introduction book to JSP coding. I've been through at least a dozen other publishers and no other book has been so clear and concise with all the relevant issues that plague serious JSP developers today. Usually a book will contain sections that aren't useful or examples that aren't explained or explained well enough to understand, but this book sets itself aside as THE best rendition of everything that makes for a great technical publication.
If you have a project requiring JSP knowledge and you've either done no or very little JSP coding, Hans will take you through a bottom up approach that will get you on the write path and make you look like a genius corporate programmer. It will be the first technical book in a long time that you've read cover to cover and wished there was more content to be had.
EXCELLENT JOB HANS!
JavaServer Pages Review, September 07 2001
Great introductory book on JSP! Worth the money just for the material in Chapter 2 and the appendix on Packaging Java Web Applications.
JavaServer Pages Review, August 31 2001
I'm not yet through the complete book, but got an excellent impression so far. Being new to Java technology (somewhat familiar with HTML and web servers in general), it's great being brought up to speed with many small examples which get right to the point.
The only question remaining is: why does my copy of the book, unlike the one shown on these web pages, have a toaster on the titel page?
JavaServer Pages Review, July 11 2001
This is a very good book to learn the basics of JSP.
Maybe, it's not for people who are not familiar with Java, because there are too many related topics to it.
JavaServer Pages Review, July 03 2001
This is a very good book. I would like to see extended coverage on struts.
JavaServer Pages Review, May 10 2001
I highly recommend this publication. It is being used where I work by all of the Java developers. Please read the preface on page xviii.
JavaServer Pages Review, April 18 2001
Excellent! A very good introduction to jsp. The only things I'd like to see in the next version are code examples for chapters 13+ and expanded coverage of Struts.
JavaServer Pages Review, March 29 2001
A very good books. I found the material is valuable to all levels of readers. The topics covered in this book is comprehensive and I can apply to it to implement few medium-sized projects
JavaServer Pages Review, February 27 2001
This is a great book. It is easy to read and follow. Everyone can write about JSP but the author also gives you methodology to develop JSP based application. You'll also learn to configure deployment descriptor in all servlet container.
This document has more information for me to use Tomcat effectively than Tomcat's document itself. I rate this book as good as another classic Java servlet programming.
JavaServer Pages Review, February 23 2001
I will first thank O'Reilly for having given Hans a chance to do such a great job! I have read some books about JSP but this book is for me the best and I will not keep it for myself to say that the Author knows what he is writing about. Thanks Mr. Hans Bergsten for this book. I will just say this book is great.
JavaServer Pages Review, February 14 2001
One of the better ones in the O'Reilly Java series
(Java2D and Servlets are still my favourites).
The problem with the book is mostly related to JSP
itself. It starts off pretending to be a clean separation
following the MVC model, but the more you dig into
it (and develop), the "dirtier" your JSP pages become
(mixing presentation with Java code). I am experiencing
this in building a moderately complex application
(but am not necessarily as purist in this sense).
As a recipe book, it can be somewhat confusing, as Hans
Bengsten often presents more than one way to solve a
similar problem. The examples are very good, however,
and I got relevant code running in no time.
JavaServer Pages Review, January 19 2001
The JavaServer Pages book by o'reilly is really good. It is really effective as a sequel to Servlet Programming by o'reilly. But I personally feel that the book could have been shorter if much of the redundant explanation had been cut short. I believe that the author had taken care of all the readers from web-authors to veteran programmers unlike the other sun technology books by o'reilly. Undoubtedly this the only good book on JSP.
JavaServer Pages Review, January 08 2001
Hi,
This book gives the practical knowledge of using the JSP. One of the important topics helped me is use of the JSP along with the Servlets. Part III of the JSP ( Component development ) is must read for a software engineer who is working on JSP and sevlets.
Thanks to the author.
JavaServer Pages Review, December 27 2000
Very well written and packed with really useful examples such as some shopping cart applications. Although I think the book would be easier to read for Java programmer, it should be also useful to page authors for a basic understanding of JSP technology. The author is able to present ideas in a very concise and clear manner.
JavaServer Pages Review, December 23 2000
I had been teaching JSP and servlets since six months, but I was unable to recommend any book to my students. Now my search is over, this is the best book on Java Server Pages. He has nicely covered the MVC model for designing web applications using JSP.
JavaServer Pages Review, December 20 2000
A well-written and useful addition to the current JSP literature.
JavaServer Pages Review, December 11 2000
I have been yearning for a book like this for two years, and O'Reilly hasn't let me down. It is an excellent companion to Jason Hunter's "Java Servlet Programming" book and it fills an area where that book didn't delve deeply, JSP.
I have been programming in Java for nearly six years, three of which has been with Servlets and JSP. Serlvets have been well documented, but I mostly learned JSP from source code examples and reading the JSP specification. This book is helping me to tie up loose ends and understand the technology better. For that alone, I love this book.
This isn't a "Learn XYZ in 21 days" kind of book. Plan to sweat and grunt a little to grasp the more complex topics, but I'm confident that it is the best JSP book on the market. I'll put it this way, it is the first JSP book I have purchased, and I have passed up other texts for several years that didn't seem thorough. Get this book if you plan to learn JSP.

The latest edition is also available on Safari Books Online.
With JavaServer Pages, you don't have to be a hardcore programmer to develop Java-based web applications. The author provides an overview of JSP concepts and illuminates how JSP fits into the larger picture of web applications. There are chapters for web authors on generating dynamic content, handling session information, and accessing databases, as well as material for Java programmers on creating Java components and custom JSP tags for web authors to use in JSP pages.
Full Description
JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology provides an easy way to create dynamic web pages. JSP uses a component-based approach that allows web developers to easily combine static HTML for look-and-feel with Java components for dynamic features. The simplicity of this component-based model, combined with the cross-platform power of Java, allows a web development environment with enormous potential.
JavaServer Pages shows how to develop Java-based web applications without having to be a hardcore programmer. The author provides an overview of JSP concepts and discusses how JSP fits into the larger picture of web applications. Web page authors will benefit from the chapters on generating dynamic content, handling session information, accessing databases, authenticating users, and personalizing content. In the programming-oriented chapters, Java programmers learn how to create Java components and custom JSP tags for web authors to use in JSP pages.
