3/ Download a copy of the servlet spec (java.sun.com) and give it a good
skim. It's dry -- it's a spec, after all -- but it contains what every
servlet developer should know. Sticking to spec-compliant code will
make your apps container-agnostic, such that you can use Tomcat,
WebLogic, etc
I highly recommend Java Server Pages 3rd edition, by Hans Bergsten
(O'Reilly). It covers servlets, JSP and struts. Many examples and easy to
read and understand. I own all three editions.

I like the WROX book JSP 2nd Edition. It's not purely a servlet book but it
covers just about everything you might want to do. Namely filters,
servlets, JSPs, MVC frameworks, XML/XSLT, custom tags and tag libraries,
JDBC, and EJB. It's a little old so it doesn't cover some other important

1/ Inside Servlets, by Dustin Callaway. I tried a few other servlet
books, but this is the one that really worked for me.
