I have played around with some code examples and am interested in creating
my own web sites using JSP, Servlets and JDBC from scratch.
I don't wish to be a guru, just someone that could knock together a
reasonably simple web app in a day or so. (like an online client database,
or online consultant timesheet system which you use forms to enter and
search.)
Could I learn just tags, struts or Maverick without getting too much into
Java code?
Regards
Scott

Yeah, the major examples focus on your situation. I don't describe how to
set up the database or its drivers, but there are a couple chapters with
nothing but complete-application examples that use JSTL alone (not Java)
to produce moderately complex web applications, like a message board, a
survey application, and a "web portal." They stretch JSTL as far as it
can go in this respect; any larger applications would probably require
Java.

Do you have "useful" working examples in the book?
Because I have found with other things like PHP/MySQL examples that it is
easier to play around with a complete example than read several chapters of
theory?

You might find that you can get pretty far with JSTL. In fact, "JSTL in
Action" has lots of information for people in your situation; I had sort
of hoped there would be more people like you. :-)
