Learning Servlets (discussion)

First of all, I think my name should be very familiar to some of you since I'm always post question in here. ha...
I would like to post this discussion to anyone of you to share your experience with me on learning the Servlet technoloy. I have AS400 background with OO concept, (Java, JSP) and also RPG. Well, fyi, I have 1.5 years working experience since I gradiated in year 2001. Thus I consider myself very fresh.

I have spend 6 months on learning the WebSphere with AS400 and also JSP, JavaScript and also Java langauge. I have read through many books and articels on how to write or code a proper java programming code. I have tried to used JSP and javascript in implementing some of my project. (it's life already. :) ).

But after I go throguh some of the articel, regarding the MVC (Model-View-Control), it's seems all the effort I put is in the wrong direction. In my previous system, I hardly use servlets, ejb or event bean concept. What I have done is embed the HTML code withmy jsp scriplets in my jsp page (Model 1). So, it's look all mixed up and seems unstructure (based on the reading).

So, I plan to learn the Model 2, which integrate the Servelts with JavaBean and also JSP as presentation layer. But I don't know which where to start.

I know the concept of servlet, (but not sure either it's correct or enough), yet I do hope anyone of you can share the experience on learning this technology with me so that I can make my learning curve more straigh forward. :)

Well, no matter what you going to say, what you going to blame me, I am very appreciate for what you have suggested to me!!!

*hope anybody can provide some proven usefull web-sites for me for reference purpose. (No more sun web-sites).

TQ!!

i'd strongly suggest picking up a copy of Core's J2EE Design Patterns... Best Practices and Design Strategies.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0130648841/qid=1029163197/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-3295337-1854312

I do agree w/ girionis in that just b/c you don't follow the recommended guidelines doesn't mean that your code won't function...

However, i think following them DEFINITELY makes your job a lot easier and typically requires less code (b/c of code re-use) and hence easier to debug.

Furthermore, I am not afford to buy the book instead. Thus, I plan to go for internet for my R&D and study on servlets. Can u suggest to me , any web-sites or page u browsed so far, u think is useful for me?? Thanks...

 Check the site manshan said. You can find several books there, but the best way to learn Servlets is to programme them. Practice makes perfect :-)
