The thing I like about this book is the diagrams. I think WROX do very very
good
diagrams in their book plus this one doesn't have a tag libs chapter one par
with the Manning book (and that's only from first glance I'll say more
having read that chapter) but it's pretty comprehensive. The manning book
still wins in the taglib chapter department. The case studies are what
separates this book from the manning book. There's some quite comprehensive
examples and what pretty good looking WAP example too ... and I like the
Photo example as well.

Pricey at $59 though.

I got the only copy the store had. I was quite surprised they had it as the
XSLT books and the XML Bible have been selling like hot cakes there.

Amazon quotes 24 hours so that's pretty good for now.

I have the WROX "Professional JSP" book. I haven't had a chance to read
much of it yet, but based on what I have read, I think it belongs on the
desk of any serious server-side Java engineer who's going to have anything
to do with JSP.

To answer Robert's specific questions: There is a chapter on JSP
architecture
that compares the page-centric approach (pure JSP and beans) to the
dispatcher
approach (servlet as mediator). There's a 40-page chapter on tag extensions
and libraries (I haven't looked at it yet, so I don't know how in depth it
is).
Other chapters cover beans, sessions, error handling, database connectivity
and JDBC, dynamic GUIs, security, JNDI, and seven case studies. I wish I
could
take a week off just to read it.
