Web tier frameworks have soared in popularity over the past year or so due to
the increasing complexity of Java itself, and the need to get more work done with
fewer resources. Developers who used to spend hours and hours writing low-level
features can use a well-written framework to build the presentation tier so they
start coding the "good stuff" sooner--the business logic at the core
of the program. The Jakarta Struts Framework is one of the most popular presentation
frameworks for building web applications with Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages
(JSP) technologies. If you work with the Struts Framework, then you know it speeds
development time. You also know that many of its features are made up of components
that are used repeatedly. Having to stop to check each component's parameters
and programming details can be a time waster. The answer? The Jakarta Struts Pocket
Reference. This portable book gives you easy access to the facts you need to get
your job done.
The Jakarta Struts Pocket Reference is a quick reference to all the core features
of the Jakarta Struts framework. An excellent companion to Programming Jakarta
Struts, the pocket reference contains detailed information on the extensive
Struts tag libraries, which were described in less detail in the larger work
as they were still in development at that time. This little book also provides
convenient coverage of the following:
-
Configuration
- Built-in Action classes
- Action forms
- Complete Tag Reference (struts 1.1)
and much more.
O'Reilly's Pocket References have become a favorite among programmers everywhere.
By providing a wealth of important details in a concise, well-organized format,
these handy books deliver just what you need to complete the task at hand. When
you've reached a sticking point and need to get to the answer quickly, the new
Jakarta Struts Pocket Reference is the book you'll want close at hand.

About the Authors
Chuck Cavaness is a graduate from Georgia Tech with degrees
in computer engineering and computer science, has built Java-based enterprise
systems in the healthcare, banking, and B2B sectors. Working at an Internet
company to design and develop software architecture, Chuck has spent many frustrating
hours figuring out the dos and the don'ts of web applications. With each enterprise
system he's developed, Chuck has learned several valuable lessons about building
"real-world" web applications, information that he's made available
to developers who haven't had the opportunity to work on large systems.
Chuck is the co-author of Special Edition Using Java 1.3 and Special Edition
Using EJB 2.0, both available from QUE.

A great companion to Jakarta Struts
I own the first Struts book from Chuck Cavaness and have read it several times. Each time I do, I learn something new. This book is full of information on tags and other config information. It's a great addition to my growing Struts library.
