Pro JSP 2, Fourth Edition is the only comprehensive guide and reference to cover JSP 2 and 2.1 yet. It equips readers with the tools, techniques, and understanding they need to develop web applications with JSP and Java servlets.  The new features of the JSP 2.0, 2.1 and Servlet 2.4 specifications make developing web applications easier than ever before. With 2.1, readers can integrate and use the latest JavaServer Faces (JSF) 1.2 in J2EE 5 with JSP. Also, the JSP Expression Language (EL) provides a simple language for creating JSP pages and tags. In addition, by also using the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), readers should never have to use a Java scriptlet or write spaghetti code again.
