Overview
The Jakarta Struts Framework is a popular open source platform for building web applications from top to bottom with Java. While this popularity has led to a wealth of online and in-print documentation, developers still find themselves faced with a number of common tasks that are not clearly and succinctly explained.
In these situations, programmers can now turn to the Jakarta Struts Cookbook an amazing collection of code solutions to common—and uncommon—problems encountered when working with the Struts Framework. Among many other recipes, this book explains how to:
- display data in complex HTML tables
- use JSP, the JSTL, and JavaScript in your user interface
- define static and dynamic action forms
- validate data and respond to errors
- use Logging, Validation, and Exception Handling
- integrate Struts with persistence frameworks like Hibernate and iBATIS
The Jakarta Struts Cookbook is perfect for independent developers, large development teams, and everyone in between who wishes to use the Struts Framework to its fullest potential. Plus, it s completely up-to-date with the latest versions of Framework, so readers can be sure the information is viable.

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewApache Struts is today’s most popular framework for building Java web applications: popular enough to have a reliable set of best practices. Now those best practices have been organized into “cookbook” solutions, with full explanations of how they work and how to adapt them.
Jakarta Struts Cookbook covers everything, from setting up Struts through security, testing, and debugging. Need a boilerplate Ant file for compiling, building, and deploying Struts applications? Want to factor your application into more manageable “modules”? Generate radio buttons with values retrieved from a Collection? Validate input? Generate bar charts? Provide a “remember me” login for returning visitors? Monitor client sessions? Create a dynamic Action Form without handcoding unique Java classes? Load XML data? Map SQL data to Java objects? Integrate Struts with Hibernate? It’s all here, along with nearly 120 more recipes. Very tasty. Bill Camarda, from the May 2005 Read Only
