Summary: Jakarta Struts for Dummies
Comment: I did not think this book was very good. The first two
chapter start out with the introduction and overall
description of Struts and do a good job, but the third
and largest chapter discusses creating a application
using Eclipse. This is by far the
most important chapter but the user gets lost in Eclipse.
There should be another way to present the information. Also
why use Eclipse? It would be better to use notepad, TextPad
or some other simple editor so the user gets the feeling

of everything that must be done to use Struts. A better
editor would be NetBeans if you can not use Notepad or
TextPad. Hence the third chapter and the most important
one is a loss. The fourth, fifth and sixth chapter talk about
Struts MVC (Model, View, Controller) structure. Anyway
I was hopping for a better book. One that I could learn
Struts from easily. If you want to learn Eclipse and Struts
then this is the book for you. If you want to learn Struts
quickly and easily look someplace else.

Summary: Good book for learning Struts
Comment: This book is the best book for struts I ever have :).
I am not JSP Programmer, I am just a (experienced) PHP Programmer who want to learn about Java Web Tech. I dont like JSP to much, that's why I choose Struts. I got problem learning Struts from other book, but this book gives me straight away lesson about how to develop 'thing' with struts.

Summary: Excellent, Well Written and Up to Date
Comment: Wow - these 2 authors do an excellent job of introducing a user to Jakarta Struts. I'd recommend a little familiarity with Java and web-apps. Also, you'll need to have the latest version of J2SE - 1.4 or higher (otherwise code won't compile correctly - at least that was my experience).

All the source code is available online.

This book covers Struts version 1.1. Some books only cover Struts 1.0 - be sure to check. Struts 1.1 has many new features - you'll want the latest.

Another bonus - they introduce working with Eclipse as the IDE, and detail how to do so. Eclipse is a powerful alternative to JBuilder, and free.

I'm fairly new to Java (more experience with .NET) and found this book very well written. I highly recommend it.
