Java Servlet Programming - by Jason Hunter and William Crawford published by O'Reilly. The first edition is a bit outdated but a 2nd is on the way. I am writing one but it won't be out until the fall. Bill
Core Servlets and Java Server Pages, by Marty Hall (Prentic Hall) is great! It's full of practical examples, and extremly clear directions on how to install and configure a webserver, run a helloWorld servlet, etc. These basic instructions alone saved me huge amounts of time and were worth the price of the book. But there are also in-depth discussions of servlets and jsp applications. Also good is Professional Java Server Programming (Wrox Press). Ben Weaver
