Web developers and page authors who use JavaServer Pages (JSP) know that it is much easier and efficient to implement web pages without reinventing the wheel each time. In order to shave valuable time from their development schedules, those who work with JSP have created, debugged, and used custom tags-a set of programmable actions that provide dynamic behavior to static pages-paving the way towards a more common, standard approach to using Java technology for web development. The biggest boost to this effort however has only recently arrived in the form of a standard set of tag libraries, known as the JSTL, which now provides a wide range of functionality and gives web page authors a much more simplified approach to implementing dynamic, Java-based web sites.
JSTL: Practical Guide for JSP Programmers is a timely resource for anyone interested in doing large-scale J2EE application development. It sticks to the main features of the JSTL so that developers don't have to sift through unnecessary details to begin using the tags and working with the expression language. Sue Spielman's straight-forward, practical approach is enhanced with numerous code samples and insightful descriptions to make learning the JSTL a quickly and easily accomplished task.
* Written by a best-selling author with a wealth of development experience and recognition in the Java community.
* Covers the core elements of the JSTL including the four standard tag libraries (core, internationalization/format, XML, and SQL) and expression language.
* Includes a reference section for all of the tabs and attributes contained in the JSTL.
* Via a companion web site, provides downloadable code for the code samples in the book.

JSTL
Chapter One
Introduction
The fact that you are holding this book in your hands indicates that you are not only intrigued by the world of the web, but you are actually shaping it. As a developer you either have built, or are about to build, some form of web application. This book is focused on how to get the most out of the JSP Standard Tag Library, also referred to as the JSTL, when you are building your web applications.
This first, introductory chapter answers the basic questions surrounding what the JSTL is, why using it will make your life easier, how it deals with dynamic content, and why a JSTL is needed. I make no bones about it, when you're done with this chapter you should be raring to start using the JSTL.
1.1 What Exactly Is the JSTL?
JSTL is the JSP Standard Tag Library. The JSTL came about under JSR-52 of the Java Community Process (JCP). The specification can be found at http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/52.jsp. JSR-52 covers the creation of a standard tag library for JavaServer Pages and allows this library to be available to all compliant JSP containers. These tag libraries provide a wide range of custom action functionality that most JSP authors have found themselves in need of in the past. Having a defined specification for how the functionality is implemented means that a page author can learn these custom actions once and then use and reuse them on all future products on all application containers that support the specification. Using the JSTL will not only make your JSPs more readable and maintainable, but will allow you to concentrate on good design and implementation practices in your pages. We can finall
