[Off Topic] Opinions requested for Wrox Book Chapter

[Matt Raible <ma...@raibledesigns.com>]

Hello all,

I've been tasked with writing a chapter on Security and a chapter on
Struts in an upcoming book from Wrox, Professional JSP 2.0.  In the
Security chapter, I hope to tackle tough problems and provide good
solutions for things encountered while securing a web-based application.
In the Struts chapter, I want to highlight some of the advanced features
of Struts and provide meaningful examples of their implementation.  I
don't feel it's necessary to explain what Struts is, since a lot of good
books have been published on this topic recently. However, I am hoping
to build a good "kickstart" application for Struts using XDoclet and
Ant, among other tools.

I've produced some initial outlines for each chapter and placed them on
my website for your review.

If you have the time and energy, please take a look at these and either
1) comment on my site, or 2) reply to this e-mail.  Your opinions and
time is valued and appreciated.

If you're looking to get started with Struts/XDoclet/Ant right away,
check out the following links, and help me rename it from struts-xdoclet
to a something better:
