The core Java (volume I and II) covers some details about Applets, I/O, AWT, Sockets, RMI, but just a few lines about Servlets and none about JSP.
I think the details about Servlets and JSP could be written in two entire books. If one book wants to cover all of details about the topics you list, that would be 4000 pages. :-)

The Core Java books are Ok if you're coming from a C++ or VB background, as the authors make many references to those languages in an attempt to remove confusion between them. For someone like myself, who came from a non-OOP background, I wasted a lot of time trying to learn from these books. It was a major mistep for me when I was trying to get started.
I truly wish that I had started out with either The Programmers Guide to Java Certification, or the Java 2 - Complete Reference. These two really dive into the fundamentals and are the best of the lot. The Complete Reference is probably the most thorough in terms of code examples. BTW, neither of these books spend much time on advanced topics, so you should look elsewhere for that.

Hello Anis,
well, if u r from non-programming background, i mean haven't done c or c++ , then start with Complete Reference Guide by Patrick Noughton of Tata-Mcgraw hills.........
if u have some idea, then look out for Begining Java 2.By Ivor Houghton of Wrox press........
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
