This strategy guide helps developers to solve Struts problems highlighting best practices to ensure that applications are secure, robust, and maintainable. Provided are detailed code listings, 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. Contained are recipes for 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. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
