Introducing Web page authors and programmers to the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), this guide covers all features of the JSTL 1.0 standard. Whether users need to add dynamic content to a static Web page or are in need of providing back-end code, nonprogrammers are shown how to manipulate XML, access relational databases, format text, internationalize Web applications, and introduce general-flow logic into JSP--all with HTML-like tags that are accessible to authors of Web pages. Also addressed are techniques for utilizing and extending JSTL's functionality.
utile e pratica esposizione delle JSTL , però con poche (o nulle) digressioni/approfondimenti che potrebbero essere utili, se non necessarie/i, allo sviluppatore di front-end web in java (..frameworks, filters, listeners, ecc...) ... da integrare necessariamente con altre pubblicazioni (o conoscenze pregresse!)
Good book teaching basics of JSTL language. Contains not only theory but parctical examples also. Some disadvantage may be absence of chapter about internationalization, multiple languages and etc.
