Product Description:
JavaServer Pages, or JSP, is a Java Enterprise technology which enables web programmers to build pages using special tags which acess Java code running on the server. As of JSP 1.1, there has also been the capability to specify custom JSP tag libraries, or taglibs, and many such libraries have been developed to enable developers to integrate different technologies into their JSP applications. The JSP Standard Tag Library, JSTL, is set to standardize the common features of many such libraries into a core set of tags of use to every JSP developer.
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 acess data between JSP pages.
This book has been developed at the same time as the very first release of the JSP standard tag library, and presents a practical overview of what the new tag library allows JSP developers to do.

As I have found with most Wrox books, there may be a lot of talking, but it does not seem to me that much is said. In mid-Feb 2002, I think there is some question whether the very first version of the JSTL spec is complete enough to release a book ostensibly describing it, even with the "early adopter" disclaimer. In any case, I think this book has weak content even in areas where there is stability in the specification.
I am one to think it is often worth something for the time saving provided by a book which does little more than put together content easily accessible via specs and supplementary web pages, but not this book at this price. Until something better comes along, I recommend just going to the Sun "taglibraries" page and reading the most basic stuff off there.
For someone who makes good living by having superior JSP skills, this book may in some sentence somewhere provide some little angle or insight which makes it worth the time spent reading it. I do not think it is a _bad_ book; I just think it does not offer much.
