Description
JSP & Servlet Project Pro: 50 Industry-Ready Web Applications for Aspiring Java Developers (VOL-5)
Build Secure Enterprise Web Applications Using JSP, Servlets, JDBC, MySQL, SHA-256, JavaMail API, Apache Tomcat & Modern Authentication Techniques
Author: Anshuman Mishra
Security is no longer an optional feature in modern software development—it is a fundamental requirement. Every web application that handles user accounts, confidential information, online transactions, or business operations must implement strong authentication, secure session management, password protection, and defenses against common cyber threats.
JSP & Servlet Project Pro: 50 Industry-Ready Web Applications for Aspiring Java Developers (VOL-5) focuses entirely on web application security, teaching readers how to build secure Java web applications using practical, real-world projects based on modern authentication and cybersecurity principles.
Rather than presenting security concepts only through theory, this volume adopts a project-based approach where every chapter demonstrates how enterprise applications protect user data, authenticate users, validate requests, and defend against common web vulnerabilities.
Each project reflects industry best practices and prepares students to develop secure applications suitable for academic projects, internships, software engineering careers, and enterprise environments.
Learn the Foundations of Secure Web Development
Security begins with understanding how vulnerabilities arise and how secure software is designed.
