Professional JSP Tag Libraries

by Simon Brown

JSP Tag Libraries is an extension to Java Server Pages, the java API for web development, that allows a cleaner separation of logic and presentation. This promotes genuine reusability and improves the scope and power of JSP. JSP Tag Libraries teaches you how to create usable, maintainable, and flexible tags. We will teach you good practices, and the design implications of tags, that will enable you to maximise the reusability of your code. This book includes many useful code examples that illustrate the points being made. With the prevalence of material on using of jsp tags, we will not concentrate in detail on using 3rd party tags, but rather aim to take you from writing script-like JSP based applications to creating genuinely object oriented web applications.
