Servlets Links and References

• Servlet Sites
• Tutorials

Official home site for servlets

Whitepapers, downloads, and other documentation.

Home page for Apache's Jakarta Project (New!)

The open source reference implementation for servlets and JSPs!

Old official home site for servlets

Now it concentrates more on how servlets work in the Java Web Server.

Official API documentation for the Servlet API 2.0

Servlet classes are in the javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http packages.

Official API documentation for the old Servlet API 1.0

Marvel at how simple it was. All the sun.* packages were part of the proposed JavaServer Toolkit.

Official JavaServer Pages (JSP) home

JSP 1.0 went final June 1999, JSP 1.1 went final December 1999.

Sun's comparison between JSP and ASP (New!)

A compelling argument for JSP.

The Web JSP Book from The Esperanto Group (New!)

An "open source" style book effort.

JSP FAQ from jGuru (Updated!)

Uses JSP to generate the pages. It's shocking how many answers need to refer to the Servlet API. That's not a good sign for JSP being "easy to use for the non-programmer".

Servlet FAQ from The Esperanto Group (New!)

Darn good coverage.

Servlet FAQ from Sun

Just six questions.

Servlet FAQ from New Atlanta

Also fairly short.

The official servlet mailing list "servlet-interest"

Java Skyline (New!)

A very busy site with lots of server-side Java resources.
