If you are working with Struts, Ant, or automated unit testing into your development process,
then this is a book for you.

Rating: - The best book on the architectural problems of Struts
If you are designing a large-scaled web application based on Struts, you should read this book first. Reading this book will help you avoid Struts architectural pitfalls and get a better idea what the Struts framework really offers. The pitfalls discussed in this book are all really insightful ,and the solutions suggested by the authors are well-designed and practical. An excellent pitfalls book!

Whether you're a beginner or an expert on Struts, Ant or JUnit, this book will provide you all the items you should watch out for. And if you're already in trouble with any of these technologies, its very likely that this book has it.
Rating:  - Where was this book when I was cutting my teeth on Cactus

I just wish this book was available when I was first getting started with Cactus!? It will be at my elbow as I start my upcoming Struts project.
(The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is that I ran across a few ... Read More
