13.12 What's Next ?

In the next chapter, we will look at JSPs, which should be very easy to handle at this point. We have all of the important tools at our command now. We can ride on much of what we know about architecting ColdFusion applications, but with an object-oriented twist. This can be a very difficult proposition for developers coming from languages such as ColdFusion, PHP, or Perl, where you don't have much in the way of objects or components .

JSPs rely heavily on JavaBeans and custom tags (also called custom actions). These things are really just Java classes at heart, like servlets are. That's why we have spent so much time on Java fundamentals in this book. It may be that your primary or even exclusive interest here is in server-side Java for Web applications. But because we have approached this topic from the ground up, you are very well prepared to start writing comprehensive, object-oriented JSP applications almost immediately.
