| JSP taglibs: Better Usability By Design |
| Noel J. Bergman | December 2001 |
|
| A great article about JSP and tag libraries. However, the article also has a solid discussion about JSP from a higher level. Most JSP programmers will find this a solid article to read. In fact I consider it almost a must read from some angles. This is because the article discusses a fundamental fact that building a tag is more than building a remote function call. When you build a tag library you are also building an unique language for your web page builder. |

| Servlet Adapters Can Solve Your Socket Problems |
| Andrei Nazariev | December 2001 |

| A look at security and sockets. Many of us have been in situations where we need more freedom and flexibility than provided by HTTP or HTTPs (ports 80 or 443), but had access denied by firewall and security features. One way to get around this, without breaking any permission, is by creating servlet adapters. Nice article worth looking at if you are thinking about using ports other than 80 or 443 in your projects. |

| The ServerSide | December 2001 |
|
| In my earlier ramble, I mention there is quite a bit of confusion over web services. This discussion highlights quite a bit of the confusion that can be found in web services. The discussion in my mind shows why web services will have a long year before there are commonly implemented in the industry. |
