Looking for a book

Hi,

I'm starting with Struts.
I've read many articles on the web to understant what is & how to.
And now I'm looking for a book (an e-book or paper format) to understand 
architecture programming with Struts, i.e. how to use Struts in a good 
way. The books i've seen on the web (amazon.com) or library dealing with 
Struts were really too poor in my oppinion on that topic, but may be I 
missed smthing.

Would you have a book to advise dealing with Struts architecture 
application ?

Regards
Eugene Suzyumov

We've always shied away from defining best practices as part of the
project. The Struts framework is quite flexible, even to a fault, and
different people use it in many different ways.

My best suggestion is to "use the source".  Don't look at the
framework as a black box that needs to be explained by gurus. Look at
it as something your own team wrote and that you have now inherited.
Review the code, and if there is something you don't understand, this
*is* the place to ask.  :)

As it happens, I did put together a list of "best practices" for a
presentation recently. See the "Struts Best Practices" slide mentioned
here:

http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsUniversity

If someone wanted to start a set of wiki pages to correspond to the
slides, be my guest :)

There has been talk of refactoring the Struts MailReader example
application so that it is also a best practices application. Right
now, it sometimes does some things for the sake of demonstration,
which can be confusing.

Perhaps we should lobby Steve Raeburn to commit his Struts Cookbook
example application,

* http://www.ninsky.com/struts/

merge it with the other examples, so that we are left with Struts
MailReader and a Struts Cookbook. :)

I started another instance of a Struts Cookbook here, 

* http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=49385&package_id=82307

to go along with the Struts Recipes title by Manning, but, sadly,
didn't have time to finish it.

HTH, Ted.

[Enough is enough] Re: Looking for a book

For the record, you are encouraged to ignore all statements made by Micael 
McGrady, Dakota Jack, or Shey Rab Pawo.  These people are actually the same 
person masquerading as alternate identities, which would be fine if they all 
didn't have the same PITA (see below) attitudes.  His track record on this 
list and others, has proven to be completely non-productive and, at best, a 
general waste of everyone's time.  What I find really sad is that even after 
several people have explained to this guy the errors in his ways and 
actions, in cut-throat clarity, he continues to spam the lists with his 
useless defunct ideas that nobody listens to.

It is still not known why this particular user chooses to take such drastic 
measures to conceal his true identity.  The only thing worse than someone 
trying to fool people by using different user accounts, is someone who is 
too stupid to do it correctly.  Next time Micael, try to pay closer 
attention as you participate here, other lists and TSS feedback.  By the 
way, the post you sent to Struts with your Micael account was held in the 
moderation queue, which you were obviously to careless to realize.  When 
that didn't arrive to the list, you followed up with one from the Dakota 
account.  How dumb do you think we are?  Dude, you're not fooling anyone. 
Oh, it gets better.  And after all that, the only thing you managed to 
accomplish was to piss off people here and on the Cocoon list....nice job!

This kind of behavior is described by the following web page:
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/DefinePita

This behavior has been discussed at length on and off list.  It has been 
determined that banning people who engage in this behavior has little effect 
at deterring it, and, in some cases, only adds fuel to the fire.

In addition to the suggestions already made, you really can get a lot
from spending time going through the archives of Struts lists.  There
really is not, I suspect, a good explanation of what the architecture,
at a deep level, is.  Part of the reason for that may not be the lack
of good authors, etc. but the fat that at some levels there are holes
in the Struts architecture or vision that have yet to be filled.  Or,
the reason may be that I cannot see the forest for the trees.

Namaste!

I went to Barnes & Noble about a month ago specifically to take a look
at Struts books. Here are some impressions:
