This title shows techniques and patterns that will help readers to solve the real problems that occur when designing and implementing dynamic web sites. It should provide readers with: a higher level guide to designing applications with JSP and Servlets; a JSP-centric, rather than J2EE-centric, view of website; development; architectural patterns and design methodologies appropriate to the multi-layered nature of JSP technology; an understanding of what they are doing, and frameworks to think in; and solid practical techniques for building Java-based websites.
