Yikes!!! Becareful with the Professional JSP 2nd Edition book. You might hurt your back! It's 1000 pages (very small font too). It might offer you so much information that none of the 12 authors had time to read the whole book cover to cover.

Presently, I'm working through
Test Driven Development by Kent Black. It's been quite fun to implement this style of development into my process.
Good luck!
