Overview

This strategy guide helps developers to solve Struts problems and highlights the best practices to ensure that applications are secure, robust, and maintainable. Detailed code listings are designed to save developers time and money by jumping straight to the answer. In addition to a solution, each recipe clearly defines the business problem, provides the necessary background to understand the recipe, and discusses the implications of using the solution, and recipes reveal every layer of the model view controller (2) design pattern. Detailed descriptions are also provided for using basic and extended tag libraries (including Struts-Layout), using Ant with Struts, validation, security, and complex problem solving. All of the recipes contained in the book have been used and implemented in enterprise level applications so that they can be used with confidence.

Recipes include:

How to automate your projects using Ant builds
Cross validate your forms with a pluggable validator
Unit testing your apps for function, performance, and coverage
Make your applications secure
How to effectively deal with exceptions
Generate alternate view using PDF and XSL
Refine your UI with Struts-Layout
How do design a layered Struts application
Understand the ins and out of the Tiles Controller
Use a database in your message-resource

Use a Struts plug-in to cache resources
Extend the iterate tag to alternate row colors
Use the SSL extension library
Learn about the undocumented Validator constants
Create a wizard
.... and much more!
