I maintain a listing of free, multimedia tutorials and CBTs on creating applications using the JSP and
Servlet API. It covers everything form Servlets to the HttpSession, to advanced topics on things such as Filters and lifecycle listeners. There's even some tutorials on the JSR168 Portlet API.
Free Servlet and JSP Tutorials These tutorials are done in Eclipse/IRAD, but the concepts go beyond just any tool or program. Plus, the completed applications are avialalbe for download and inspection.
For books, you might want to look at Head First Servlets and JPS. Most people agree that is one of the best books for learning, especially if you have a foundation in
Java. If you don't have a foundation in Java, you might look at the Head First Java book.
Best of luck learning about Servlets and JSPs!
