Java Servlets By Example

Intermediate Level Users.

Although CGI scripts provide 80% of today's server side processing, they are slow, inefficient, and memory-hungry. A new species is evolving to take their place, one which is lean, fast, portable, and easy to maintain: Java servlets. This book takes users into the world of servlets, moving example by example from the simple to the complex. An early chapter explains the simple HTML form processing through servlets. A later chapter shows how to connect a Java applet to a servlet, which is itself connected to a database.

The book is full of real-world, ready-to-run example code. Each chapter deals with a new problem and takes users through a series of servlet-based solutions. However, the book is detailed enough that it may also serve as a reference for the developer.
