This book is a guide to the recently introduced Java Tag Extension API, illustrated by real-life case studies. A fairly complete approach to JSP programming is provided, with a discussion of its shortcomings and how these can be addressed by employing tag libraries. It will discuss modeling and designing applications based on these technologies, then provide a specific implementation (Jakarta STRUTS).
This book goes well beyond other resources on JSP, which contain at most a single chapter on tag libraries. The explanation of tag library technology and examples of its implementation will help bring new capabilities to current JSP programmers
