Programming Jakarta Struts, 2nd Edition

76 reviews
Chuck Cavaness

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004

Thorough Review
The previous book I had on Struts did a poor job of... well, everything. It is called "The Struts Framework" and the main reason I bought it was because it was a manageable 150 pages long. (Am I the only one tired of several hundred page tech books?) This bably logs in at around 400 pages and does a far better job of explaining what Struts is all about - both fundamentally and specifically. I ...

Struts 2 in Action (In Action)

Great starter book for Struts 2
I took a chance and pre-ordered this book because I have recently started a Struts2 project and wanted to learn more about the framework. The book did not disappoint. The authors explained the concepts behind the framework clearly and used examples that were immediately useful. The book is a little too short and in many cases a few more details would have been appreciated but it seemed to be a ...

For a J2EE beginner, a great resource
I've been working on webapps for the past 3 years in PHP, Python, and most recently Ruby. I've been trying to learn J2EE and have found it very difficult to find a foothold, a solid piece of ground to get oriented as to how people write Java webapps. I tend to like tutorial-style books when learning a new subject, ones that pick a project and implement it step by step, explaining the importance ...

Purchase this book to can getting start and become familiar with JSF
I recommend this book cause really you will familiar with JSF and in all technology needed in web application, for me I review some issue with this book such as JDBC and LPAP.

Pro JSF and Ajax: Building Rich Internet Components (Pro)

14 reviews
John R. Fallows, Jonas Jacobi

Apress, 2006

Advanced Guide
The authors begin "This book is not, and we would like to emphasize this, not an introductory level book..." That's for certain. Except for quick review material in the first chapter, the authors move quickly into a project that assumes a good amount of experience. The book effectively follows a pattern that you have seen before. Build a simple component, integrate it, then progressively ...

Hans Bergsten

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2003

Perfect book for a structured reader.
If you are looking for a quick cookbook this should not be your choice. If you want to learn JSP in depth, buy it right now. Hans guides you from the basics to comprehensive details of JSP technology in a very structured way. In any case, (from my point of view) JSP is not the whole jigsaw for building web applications, it's just a piece of it. So don't expect to be able to build real web ...

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2006

The most comprehensive JSF coverage so far!
I really enjoyed reading this book. I have several JSF books, and I feel that most of them were rushed to the market. This one is an exception. The coverage is very comprehensive (the book is written by the spec lead), JSF 1.2 is extensively discussed. The book covers multiple open-source "sub-frameworks" for JSF such as Shale and Facelets as well as various component libraries. JSF is a ...

Pro Apache Struts with Ajax (Expert's Voice in Java)

5 reviews
John Carnell, Rob Harrop, ...

Apress, 2006

Excellent book
I would like to write a longer review but I'm pressed for time so I'll keep it short and sweet. The authors have created a very easy to follow guide (and reference) for beginning Struts development. I've found it very useful for the project I am working on. A couple of shortcomings... In the section on Struts form validation, they don't go into how one would handle using ActionForm's ...

Mastering JavaServer Faces (Java)

Wiley, 2004

Could be better
The problem is that the book has a lot of mistakes and don't explain some mechanism like ValueBinding. The book use hibernate to persist data to database and this can be a problem to people who don't know this technology, in my opinion they should have used plain JDBC technology, it would be much easier to the readers.

JSTL in Action

13 reviews
Shawn Bayern

Manning Publications, 2002

Very good JSTL book!
Review One way to develop dynamic page content on a web application is to use JavaServer Pages technology. This allows you to embed bits of Java code, or scriptlets, within the HTML page. The web server interprets the scriptlet when the page is called and produces the content that is coded. This is all good, but there are common tasks (such as looping) that each developer had to reinvent from ...

Facelets Essentials: Guide to JavaServer Faces View Definition Framework (Firstpress)

1 review
Bruno Aranda, Zubin Wadia

Apress, 2008

A mixed bag
This book is light enough to be read in one sitting. And, given how important Facelets is to JSF development, is a worthwhile read for any JSF developer. (Note that this book is focused primarily on Facelets - and by extension takes familiarity with JSF for granted.) The upsides? I found very broad coverage of everything that Facelets provides. Whether its templating support, the jsfc ...

Jakarta Struts Pocket Reference

6 reviews
Chuck Cavaness, Brian Keeton

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2003

Practical, time-saving
If the reader is not completely new to Struts, this book with the examples zipped with the Struts framework might be enough to develop a Struts based application. The book has two main parts: Intro to the usage of Struts and its most important components. (35 pages) This part is quite good in relation to its size. The Validator framework could get more space. Tag Reference. (85 pages) ...

David Geary

Prentice Hall PTR, 2002

J2EE Guy
One of the best books i found on JSTL. Provides in-depth knowledge & extensive examples of JSTL. This book helps us to understand why, where and how to use JSTL tags. follows the typical MVC pattern [ a clear separation of View from Model] Though, I am not a great fan of SQL, XML tags, the Core & I18N JSTL tags are not only valuable but also easy to use. Now we could have non-Java programmers ...

Nice book,examples should have been better

Best Java book on the Market....
This book is the most user friendly book to teach Java. This is how I got started, and am now a full-on software developer for a fortune-500 company making a good living. I recommend this and other books in the HF series to anyone wanting to learn programming on their own.
