Please suggest me a good book to learn JSP and JDBC basics fast and quick.
Its like i have 3-4 days to go through the basics of JSP and JDBC.
I have never used them before, however i have worked on java a lot.
Currently, I am programming on ROR.
So, a nice book to get me through the basic stuff of JSP and JDBC

A:
I think Hans Bergsten's O'Reilly book on JSPs is the best there is. He starts you off with JSTL right off the bat, which is the right way to go. It presumes a knowledge of servlets. Jason Hunter's servlet book is a good one.
JDBC is another matter. How well do you relational databases and SQL? I'd recommend starting with the Sun JDBC tutorial. It should be sufficient to start.
If not, the 2nd book returned from Amazon after searching "java jdbc" was this. I don't know if the O'Reilly JDBC book by George Reese has improved since I last looked at it, but I wasn't crazy about it.

@duffymo: Thanks.I know this is a bit off topic, but just wanted to know what should i prepare for an NAPA(New Associate Programmer Analyst) post at Goldman Sachs. I am totally confused. I have my written test and follow up interview after 10 days.

You can't expect to do much better than soak up enough buzz words to attempt to fool the interviewer into thinking that you know the material in that short a time. If you're confused now, I doubt that it'll lift much in just ten days.

Just as a heads up, that SUN JDBC tutorial had a few frustrating errors when I last looked at it.
