Product Description
A beginner’s guide for Java developersDesign, develop, test, and deploy your web applications using Struts 2 frameworkNo prior knowledge of JavaScript and CSS is requiredApply the best of agile development techniques and TDD techniquesStep-by-step instructions and careful explanations with lots of code examplesIn Detail
Struts 2.1 is a modern, extensible, agile web application framework suitable for both small- and large-scale web applications.
The book begins with a comprehensive look at Struts 2.1 basics,interspersed with detours into more advanced development topics. You’lllearn about configuring Struts 2.1 actions, results, and interceptorsvia both XML and Java annotations. You’ll get an introduction to mostof the Struts 2.1 custom tags and learn how they can assist in rapidapplication prototyping and development.
From there you’ll make your way into Struts 2.1’s strong support forform validation and type conversion, which allows you to treat yourform values as domain objects without cluttering your code. A look atStruts 2.1’s interceptors is the final piece of the Struts 2.1 puzzle,allowing you to leverage the standard Struts 2 interceptors as well asimplement your own custom behavior.
After covering Struts 2.1 you’ll journey into the world ofJavaScript, a surprisingly capable language, the Document Object Model(DOM), and CSS, and learn how to create clean and concise client-sidebehavior. You’ll leverage that knowledge as you move on to Struts 2themes and templates, which give you a powerful way to encapsulatesite-wide user interface behavior.
The book closes with a look at some tools that make the applicationdevelopment life cycle easier to manage, particularly in a teamenvironment, and more automatic.

He is a strong proponent of agile practices and tool creation anduse, particularly in relationship to documentation generation andtesting. He’s a regular (if crabby) fixture on the Struts user mailinglist, prodding people to read the documentation and think outside thebox.
