Musk Mallow. See Malta. Muskmelon. Cucumin melo. See Cucumis. The cultivation of the Muskmelon was carried on at a very remote period. It is said to be a native of the central part of Asia, and to have been brought into Europe from Persia; but the date of its iirst culture is so remote that there is no certain knowledge on the subject. It appears to have been brought Into Italy early in the flrst century, if not before, as it is mentioned ty Pliny, who died from suffocation caused by the great eruption of Vesuvius in A. D. 7'J. In his works he describes the methods by which Melons were frown or forced, so as to be obtained for the mperor Tiberius at all times of the year. Of the Melon there are many varieties. Of the various classes of Melons, one of the oldest and best is the Cantaloup, which, according to M. Jacquin, derives its name from Cantalouppi, a seat belonging to the Pope, near Rome, where this sort, brought from Armenia by the missionaries, was first cultivated. The flesh of this, with its varieties, is yellowish or pink. Tho Nutmeg and Citron varieties, which are the more common in our markets, are supposed to be the African or Egyptian Melons of the early writers. The Melons of Persia have long borno a high character, and differ matez'ially from the varieties commonly cultivated.

Professional JavaServer Pages covers a wide variety of areas including design and architecture, JSPs and their relation to J2EE (Servlets, EJBs, JDBC etc) as well as extensive coverage of the tag extension mechanism that allows you to customize the tags you use in your pages to the data you're presenting.
 Readers are given an introduction to JSP, explaining how they relate to servlets, showing the tags, and creating beans to encapsulate business logic, to keep web page design simple. Further chapters cover database access with JDBC and connection pooling, JSP debugging, and web application architecture using JSP and servlets. 
After considering security issues in JSP web applications, the book concludes with seven real-world case studies including using JSP, XML and XSLT to target content at WAP and HTML browsers, e-commerce, streaming using JMF, and porting an existing ASP-based application to JSP. Appendices give programming refreshers on installing the Tomcat JSP/Servlet engine, detailed references to JSP, the Servlet API, and HTTP, and finally JSP for ASP programmers. 
This book is for both professional Java developers, who want to use JSP as the front-end of their J2EE web applications, and web designers, who want to see how JSP separates presentation from dynamic content generation. Although no knowledge of Java is assumed, reference will be made to a quick start Java tutorial at wrox.com and to other materials for some topics. Knowledge of HTML and some programming experience is required.
