JavaServer
Pages Fast and Easy Web Development is a new book by
Aneesha Bakharia.
"My book offers the simplest way to learn JSP. It also assumes no
prior knowledge of Java." --Aneesha Bakharia
Book Description:
Dynamic Web sites are now the norm, and developers will have to keep up
to date to be competitive. JavaServer Pages Fast & Easy Web Development
gives you everything you need to use JavaServer Pages to write and debug
scripts, create tag libraries, use the Java Database Connector to create
dynamic-database driven Web sites, and much more! If you are already
familiar with other embedded tag-based server-side scripting languages
such as ASP, PHP, and ColdFusion, you will have no trouble adapting to
JavaServer Pages, and the step-by-step, visual approach of this book
will get you up and running quickly.

March 30, 2001
Tomcat 4.0 beta 2
of the next generation servlet container has been released.
Tomcat 4.0 beta 2 has many new features, including:
- Tomcat 4.0 can now run web applications out of an unpacked
directory or directly from a WAR file.
- Web applications are now run under the control of a Java
SecurityManager that can support fine-grained control over each
web-app's access to system resources.
- You can now specify a element in the server
configuration file (server.xml) that defines default configuration
information for contexts that are automatically configured.
- An example Filter implementation that supports on-the-fly GZIP
compression for clients that support it.
- A servlet that implements all of the NCSA documented
functionality for server side includes (*.shtml) except for the
"exec" capability.
- Standard resource factories for JavaMail related resources
accessible via a JNDI InitialContext, compatible with J2EE
Specification requirements.
- Reflects the most up-to-date changes in the Servlet 2.3 and
JSP 1.2 APIs that have been approved by the JSR-053 expert
group, and will appear in the next published version of the
corresponding specifications.
In addition, the following major bug fixes are included:
- Fixes for two reported security vulnerabilities (a "cross site
scripting vulnerability" plus a "URL decoding vulnerability")
- The JSP servlet (Jasper) that compiles and executes JSP pages
now uses its own classloader its associated XML parser, which
avoids potential conflicts with parsers included with a web
application.
- Bug fix updates for directory listings, the WebDAV support,
binding to a single IP address (if requested), incorrectly
named access log files, URL decoding improvements, form-based
authentication, HTTP/1.1 chunking, isUserInRole(), JSP page
parsing problems, and many other patches.
See the Tomcat 4.0 Beta 2 Release Notes (RELEASE-NOTES-4.0-B2.txt)
that are included in the top-level directory of the release for more
detailed information.
