Riassunto

This guide offers a single-source reference for building enterprise web applications from bottom to top. This new title offers developers top-quality information and advice that goes way beyond the Struts on-line documentation. It covers: an overview of the concepts involved in writing web applications; detailed installation and configuration instructions to get Struts up and running quickly; a discussion of how Struts implements the Model-View-Controller pattern, and how to interface with that pattern in your own applications; JSP and Jakarta Tag Libraries for authoring complex Web pages; logging, validation, and exception handling with Struts; using the new Struts template framework, Tiles; and writing internationalization and localization code using Struts.

L'autore

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.
