Web Development with Java: Using Hibernate, JSPs and Servlets

Web development is simpler than it seems, especially with the software
tools freely available on the Web. This book breaks from the tradition
of teaching a history of Web development and jumps to the good stuff
from the outset so that students can start writing real applications.
This comprehensive textbook introduces readers to the three-tiered,
Model-View-Controller architecture by using Hibernate, JSPs, and Java
Servlets. These three technologies all use Java, so that a student with
a background in programming will be able to master them with ease, with
the end result of being able to create web applications that use MVC,
validate user input and save data to a database.

Features and topics:

Presents the many topics of web development in small steps, in an
accessible, easy-to-follow style; focusing on the most important
information first, and allowing the reader to gain basic understanding
before moving forwards Uses existing powerful technologies that are
freely available on the web to speed up web development, such as JSP,
JavaBeans, Annotations, JSTL, Java 1.5, Hibernate and Tomcat Starts with
the simplest technology for web development (JSP) and gradually
introduces the reader to more complex topics Core technologies are
introduced from the outset, such as the Model-View-Controller
architecture Includes many helpful pedagogical tools for students and
lecturers such as, an introduction to each topic, questions and
exercises at the end of each chapter, detailed illustrations and chapter
summaries By using Hibernate as the database tool in this book, there is
no need for the reader to know SQL Written for novice developers with a
solid background in programming, but who do not have any database
training, this thorough, easy-to-use book provides an exemplary
introductory course in web development for undergraduates, as well as
web developers. With its straightforward and systematic style this text
is also ideal for self-study. Tim Downey has over ten years experience
teaching web development, and has won Outstanding Teaching Awards in
1997, 2002, 2006 and 2007. He maintains the following active website
which contains many complete examples and tutorials:
