Chapter 27. JSP Project I: Personalized Portal
The first two parts of this book covered JSP development and introduced you to a lot of other areas in Enterprise Java in general and Web development technologies in particular. In this, the third and final part of the book, you will see how these technologies are brought together into two projects.

This first project, a personalized portal, builds on many of the concepts covered earlier, and specifically from the following chapters:
Chapter 5, "JSP and EL"
Chapter 6, "JSP Tag Libraries and JSTL"
Chapter 14, "JSP Debugging Techniques"
Chapter 17, "Model View Controller"
Chapter 19, "Struts Framework"
