I have just about all the Struts books. I reach for this book quite a bit. It is a great reference book. It is well written and well organized.If you are doing serious Struts development, you should probably have both "Struts in Action" (Manning) and this book.I reach for the Manning book the most. It seems to have the most information. I reach for this book second. This book seems to be better organized than the "Struts in...
