Customer Reviews

Excellent book

I would like to write a longer review but I'm pressed for time so I'll keep it short and sweet. The authors have created a very easy to follow guide (and reference) for beginning Struts development. I've found it very useful for the project I am working on. A couple of shortcomings... In the section on Struts form validation, they don't go into how one would handle using ActionForm's validate() method to validate a form when the associated HTML FORM uses [for example] html:optionscollection to present a pulldown with choices. Forwarding to the controller, and an action that could then repopulate the beans with the pulldown values would make sense but I'll have to figure this out on my own to see if that's the way to do it. Also, nobody responded to my email in which I asked questions about the text. I used the email address from the book but didn't get a response. All in all, a very good book. Absolutely worth the money.

Good book

This book got me started with Struts very quickly. I was able to quickly learn the basics and start writing my first struts app. I haven't finished the book yet, but it is already worth the money I paid.
