java EE tutorial's problem with jsp

Hi,

I have some experience with JSP, however, I discovered that it's limited to scripting in JSP . I started reading the java 5 EE tutorial and went through fine with the servlet part.

Once I got to the jsp part however, it just jumps into tags and JSTL in a way that assumes I have sufficient background on it. Is there any other kind of tutorial that might cover chapters 4-8 in such a way that would introduce jsp 2.1 specification in a way that does not assume a lot of background on tags and their role?

I'd really appreciate this

Thanks,

That being said, JSTL is very easy and logical, I wouldn't see why you would have difficulty understanding them by seeing examples in which they are used. You are not giving your own intelligence and your capability to solve problems enough credit.

it might be easy and logical, however if you've always viewed jsp in terms of scriplets than it might not be easy to just throw JSTL in as common knowledge.

It's nice that you directed me to google to get a jstl tutorial, but I was thinking if someone experienced the same thing.
