Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good content... but a-whole-lotta-"shoulds"
The book provides a good, basic foundation for working with Jakarta Struts from 1.1 and on. From beginner to advanced developer you'll get a good overview of what Struts is, does and some little details about the inner workings that you will benefit from knowing. Clear, concise examples make it a wonderful intro and reference.
However... the downside to the book is that the author constantly talks about and goes too in-depth into the "shoulds" of development (i.e. separating business ... Read More
Rating:  - Not very good
i've just joined a new company using struts. i am a java programmer of more than 5 years but completely new to struts, this is the book i was given by my boss but i cant understand it. My main problem is that there are no good examples to follow as if the writter assumes you know struts already. In one word, disjointed.
Rating: - Not a tutorial - Don't buy if you want to learn struts
This book should not be viewed as a tutorial. If you know nothing about struts and you want to learn, do not buy this book. You will only confuse yourself.
It makes a great reference once you already know how to use struts, but you cannot learn struts from this book - at least how to code an app.
Simply put, the author does not write this as a tutorial. It does have a running example but it is not a learning book.
Rating:  - Thorough Review
The previous book I had on Struts did a poor job of... well, everything. It is called "The Struts Framework" and the main reason I bought it was because it was a manageable 150 pages long. (Am I the only one tired of several hundred page tech books?)
This bably logs in at around 400 pages and does a far better job of explaining what Struts is all about - both fundamentally and specifically. I read the first few introductory chapters and then just checked out the areas I was intrested in. The concepts ... Read More
Rating: - Convoluted and difficult to understand
Usually I consult Amazon for a book reference. This time I decided to buy this book simply because it's O'REILLY.
Well...I was wrong. While the author writes well and clear, I believe it was address to the wrong audience (for struts experts.) I found the examples to be very convoluted, and difficult to understand.
It also appears as if deadline pressures influenced the construction of this book. (but that's my assumption)
2 stars is best to reflect this book.
