I second that whole heartedly. It is essential to understand that everything
is driven by the specifications - make them your bibles.
The O'Reilly "Java Servlet and JSP Cookbook" book is also a good secondary
source.

1/ "Inside Servlets," by Dustin Callaway. I tried a few other servlet
books, but this is the one that really worked for me. It remains a
valuable reference.
2/ Go to your local bookstore and skim some texts to see what authors
resonate with you. I have a tough time following a book if the style
bothers me.
3/ Download a copy of the servlet spec (java.sun.com) and give it a good
skim. It's dry -- it's a spec, after all -- but it contains what every
servlet developer should know. Sticking to spec-compliant code will
make your apps container-agnostic, such that you can use Tomcat,
WebLogic, etc with little difficulty.

I like the WROX book JSP 2nd Edition. It's not purely a servlet book but it
covers just about everything you might want to do. Namely filters,
servlets, JSPs, MVC frameworks, XML/XSLT, custom tags and tag libraries,
JDBC, and EJB. It's a little old so it doesn't cover some other important
things, but it's a good solid starter book in my opinion.
And if you don't need it anymore it works good for crushing small objects.

I highly recommend "Java Server Pages" 3rd edition, by Hans Bergsten
(O'Reilly). It covers servlets, JSP and struts. Many examples and easy to
read and understand. I own all three editions.
