I really liked the Manning book "Web Development with JavaServer Pages" . http://www.manning.com/fields2It very clearly takes you through the basics and more including topics like MVC.

another book is Core Servlets and JSP . u can even download the book from somewhere but that might be an older version.Check that out. but the book is really worth the effort required to get it.

Marty Hall's books are very good, but I think [url= http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jserverpages3/]Hans Bergsten's JSP book for O'Reilly[/url] is excellent. It starts using JSTL right off the bat, which I think is the right thing to do.%

If you want to know about Tomcat (free servlet container) as well, I recommend the "Apache Tomcat Bibl" from Eaves, Jones and Godfrey. This book explains how to install the J2SDK, Tomcat, MySQL and it gives the code of a complete web application with the MVC (Model View Controller) design pattern.

This may look like overkill, but I must admit that this is the book that explains how to build we applications using JSP and servlets.

Of course, the book of Marty Hall mentioned in the previous replies, is a must have !

I want to become Sun Certified Web Component Developer (SCWCD). I mostly use JSF, so I need some good book about JSP. It should be not "prepare for exam in 3 days" kind of book, but something more useful (JSP knowledge is priority, not exam itself). Time is money, so I want to invest it into reading useful JSP book.
