A newbie Q: could someone recommend a good JSP book for starters?

[cyan01]

I am looking for a jsp book for starters. I searched at Amazon and found following two books:

JSP Examples and Best Practices
JSP: A Beginner's Guide

But after readig the reader's coments, I am not sure whether they fit my needs.

Here is my background:

1) Learnt java a few years ago and have one year industry experience in java programming, mainly in swing/jdbc.
2) Have a pretty good understanding in RDBMS.
3) Stopped using java 3 years ago, so I basically forgot them (syntax) all.
4) Know other OO languages well, such as C++.
5) Know how to configure apach/tomcat.
6) Only know the basics about xml.
7) Bascially, I am a unix guy. I'll do all my jsp excises on unix platform.

I would love to learn jsp through examples. I appreciate your recommendations based on my technical background. Thank you for reading this.
