Book Reviews
"The real issues faced by developers while building Struts applications are seldom
compiled in one place. This book is unique, in that it addresses the real-life issues,
scenarios, and challenges faced by developers, and provides satisfactory solutions to
most of these problems...Security in Struts, which is an important topic, is described in
chapter 7 very nicely. I admire the authors’ simple approach to addressing this complex
issue.
best practices. ...this book is an excellent addition to the Struts literature. It is
practical, and has been long awaited by Struts practitioners. The authors have
successfully presented their content, with full meanings and purpose, in a reasonable
number of pages. I strongly recommend this book to Struts practitioners, and to the
whole Struts user community."
-- Computing Reviews
"This is a no-nonsense well written set of solutions to common Struts issues. It is
certainly not an introduction to Struts and does not intend to be. This is a reference
work for Struts users who are looking for canned solutions to problems like Tomcat
security, Internationalization, or bread crumb trails. Each solution has a short description
of the problem (with some background supplied), then the solution recipe and a discussion
of the solution.
This is an easy to use, and read, reference format that works well for situations where you
have a loosely organized set of common problems. Check the table of contents to make sure
that you are getting solutions to the problems you face. If you find topics that interest you
rest assured that they are covered well in the book."
-- Jack Herrington, author of Code Generation in Action
"A goldmine of useful information."
-- Patrick Peak, Chief Technology Officer, BrowserMedia
"Sooner or later you are going to need every recipe-keep it by your side."
-- Cedric Dumoulin, Struts Project Management Committee Member
"... presents best practices that will turn every developer on your team
into an expert."
-- Hemesh Surana, Senior Software Engineer, SeeBeyond Corporation
"... solves real-life Struts problems for you ... takes your
applications to the next level."
-- Vivek Awasthi, CTO & Head of Research, ISTS Infotech Solutions
DESCRIPTION
This book is for developers and architects with real Struts work to do. It offers a broad collection of practical solutions complete with detailed code listings that will save you time and money. Each recipe clearly defines the problem it solves, gives you the background you need, and discusses the practical implications of adopting the solution. Many recipes point out little-known "gotchas" which will save you from needless grief. This book introduces you to Struts best practices so you can make your applications secure, robust, and maintainable.
Techniques presented in this book have gone through the trial by fire of real-life enterprise development and deployment you can rely on them with confidence.
