about the author
Vikram Goyal, author of Beginning JSP 2.0 and Professional JSP Site Design, regularly writes how-to articles on open source projects. His series of articles on Jakarta Commons was the first such effort to make sense out of the chaotic world of Jakarta Commons. His article series is still reflected in the official main entry page of Jakarta Commons as the only online series covering these components. Vikram is a Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform. Vikram lives in Brisbane, Australia.
Great stuff! This is the ultimate missing manual to Jakarta Commons.
...this manuscript is packed with incredibly useful information.
...has something for every developer. Well organized and structured.
It is extremely well written, has outstanding examples that work, and provides excellent documentation.
Vikram's articles for O'Reilly mean that he's got as high visibility as anyone for Commons literature. The articles are linked from the Commons site itself.
There is ample background, context, and in-depth information to complement freely available materials.
Very well written. Interesting, engaging, sometimes humorous in a good way.
