So what about More Servlets & JSPs? Will Core 2.1 + 2.2 essentially replace More 1?
We decided that the "Core" and "More" names were confusing. Besides, which book contained which content was partly a matter of timing regarding when the various specifications came out. So, the update for BOTH is
Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, 2nd Edition. Foundational technologies that almost every project uses are in the first volume (setup and configuration, reading request parameters, using HTTP and cookies, tracking sessions, scripting with JSP, using beans, applying MVC, using the JSP 2.0 expression language, accessing databases with JDBC). Advanced features that only some projects use will be in the second volume (JSTL,
JSF, Struts, custom tag libraries).
