Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"The objective of this book is to provide the reader with a working knowledge of Apache Struts 1.2. The book is intended for Java programmers who have a fair amount of knowledge about JavaServer Pages (JSP) and some general ideas about servlet technology. … Readers with previous experience with Struts can go directly to specific topics of interest, and will find the explanations and examples fairly independent of the rest of the book." (Jose M. Ramirez, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2008)
