Articles for the weekend

A few article recommendations

• Marek Branický continues his series on servlets, this time on the topic of Java Servlets — Interacting with and sharing objects and resources II
• This week I discussed SQL injection,
   but if you don’t know what it is, read Michal Burda’s article How secure are database applications in PHP?
• Opera has a reputation as a fast, high-quality browser. CSS2 support in Opera 7.22 is 
   the subject of Jan Dudek’s article CSS2 — Cascading style sheet support in the Opera 7 series
• Do you use JSP and servlets and still haven’t heard of JavaServer Faces (JSF)?
   JSF provides a layer that connects application logic more closely with the face 
   of a web application, with extras like an event-driven interaction model, all within 
   the MVC pattern. David Geary has more in 
   JavaServer Faces, redux.
• Do you need to cut response times in web applications or reduce the amount of data they send? If so, 
   take Jayson Falkner’s advice in Two Servlet Filters Every Web Application Should Have
