Mastering Jakarta Struts

From the Publisher: Developing Web applications with Java became considerably easier with the advent of JavaServer Pages (JSP) and servlets. Unfortunately, when used for large-scale applications, JSPs have been less successful -- they can become bloated with code, resulting in applications that are slow and inefficient. Jakarta Struts helps provide the solution to this problem. Struts handles a number of specific tasks involved in controlling how servlets, EJBs, and other components work together. It also makes use of JSP custom tags to help developers create interactive, form-based applications. James Goodwill has loaded each chapter with real-world code examples that show how to build applications using Jakarta Struts. Written for experienced Java programmers who need to learn how to use Struts to build enterprise-level applications, this book begins by examining the concepts and architecture of the Struts Framework of technologies.
