Early Adopter JSP Standard Tag Library

The standard tag library provides tags for performing basic decision-making and repetition within a page, as well as localizing messages for the user, handling XML data, and database access. It's also possible to extend the library with our own tags that collaborate with the standard tags. A core element of the library is its support for expression languages, which are used to share and access data between JSP pages.

This book has been developed at the same time as the first release of the JSP standard tag library, and presents a practical overview of what the new tag library allows JSP developers to do.
