Rating: - Very very good. But it's only a reference, not a design book.
I'm really happy I bought this book, even though I'd be happier if it was true what the title says: this book doesn't say anything about design.
It shows much about syntax and about what possibilities Struts 2 gives you, but if you aren't a good designer your designs won't still be good after reading this book. I know there are other good books about designing struts applications, this is not one of them.
Anyway, if you are looking for the best way to do something with struts ... Read More
Rating: - Requires a bit of effort but there's a wealth of information in there
The book is for people who have a solid understanding of the servlet/JSP api. Some of the examples in the book require a little extra work on your part since the it does not layout every step. However if you do put the effort and go over the chapters thoroughly, you'll find that there's a wealth of information in here.
Rating: - It's ALL meat...
This book is definitely not for a "casual read". What you'll find here is information written as if it were the design documentation for the Struts 2 project. EXTREMELY detailed, this will most likely be your troubleshooting guide and information resource whenever you work with or get stuck somewhere in the framework.

Rating: - Its very good book
This is one of the good book for struts 2.0 in the release books. It gives the complete idea about the struts 2.0
Rating: - Too Many Typos and Errors
The first thing I did was look up file uploading in Struts. The book's instructions are incorrect (a wrong method name is given). That cost me an hour of pointless debugging.
That initial experience, plus numerous typos and grammatical errors, do not inspire confidence. It's back to Amazon for this book.
It's a shame, because the author's tutorial approach is pretty good. A little proofreading would have gone a long way here.
