Rating:  - If you like concepts buy this one, good book
Great book to learn about struts concepts. I got the book trying to follow a logical sequence buy I found a lot of theory. Very helpful for a begginer who wants to learn J2EE and struts or for a teacher. You need to complement your learning activities with a tutorial. Try the Kurniawans's then this book.
Rating:  - Good for general understanding of Struts
I am using this book to come up to speed on Struts for a project where some consultants built screens and set up some rudimentary Struts programs just to make the screens work. This is what I've decided about this book based on my use of it as a reference book.
This is a good book to use if you need to gain a general understanding of Struts. It is good for the programmer who is experienced with Java, including some knowledge of Beans and Servlets, and also some familiarity with the way XML is used with web applications. The book explains the use of XML specifically for configuring Struts, but it leaves out some of the very basic details. It does the same with Beans and Servlets. It's a book about Struts though, so that makes sense.
I am giving it 3 stars based on the fact that it has helped me understand the concepts. If I reviewed the book based on how much it helped me implement Struts successfully, I'd give it 2 stars. The problem I have with this book is the lack of examples now that I have the concept. If you're looking for a good book of examples, look elsewhere.
Rating:  - didnt understand even a single word
i could not understand what they are talking about. Please dont buy this book and waste your money. complete reference is a good place to start for beginners. Jbuilder is a cool tool to develop struts application. Struts is a cool technology. Hope some one writes a great book in the future. All books are so cryptic
Rating: - It's a complete mess
I've bought this book to have an overview of struts, beeing myself an experienced java programmed for years, it would be a good choise. I was wrong! BAD choice. It's a complete mess. You don't understand anything by reading this book! "You will build up an application"... where? The code is incomplete, it jumps from one thing to another without any logic.
Stay away, there are better books on struts (any will do, I'm sure) and internet is also a good reference.
Rating:  - Sorely Lacking
I am very dissapointed in this book, as I purchased it thinking it would give real techniques for using struts. Instead it's just like so many other technical books out there where they give top-soil kind of overviews of the technology. It may be for getting basic concepts of struts, but whenever I find myself trying to lookup up real-world solutions there are no answers.
