+2  Q: 

What book should I read as an alternative to "Head First Servlets and JSP"?

I am looking for another book beside Head First Servlets and JSP. The Head First book didn't really appeal too me, as it was too much theory and questions/exam objectives.

I am looking something along the lines of RailSpace: Building a Social Networking Website with Ruby on Rails. Something that involves me writing a lot of code and would "wake me up" for a real world web application project. That might be asking for a lot, but you get my direction :) Answers are much appreciated.
