Dear Firends

I am looking for a good and the best way of beginning with struts.
Any guidance?

I know about the online tutorial.It is good but very time taking and is very professional.

I am looking for a book or online resource which can give an idea and how to start working with struts framework.

I am now going through a book "Jakarta Struts" by Craig McClanahan.I hope is also author and moderator for Java Ranch.

Suggest mme for a quick and faster lining up...

Thanks in advance to all

I'd suggest against looking at most of the examples that come with Struts, they seem more for beginner-intermediate then raw beginner.

A tutorial I like is Struttin' with Struts.

Otherwise, best way I can suggest is to just experiment and build tiny evolving pages.

Start with just getting a .JSP with the title "Hello" to show up. Then add a form with corresponding action/mapping in struts-config, then pass a string from one page to another... etc.

I should note that I was making the assumption that you had all the right software.

If not, I recommend that you grab Eclipse IDE (and the Solar-Eclipse plug-in), the Struts binary, and Tomcat. Be sure to get those configured and working properly together before anything else.

Hi,

Do start with book "Mastering Jakarta Struts " By James Goodwill.

The book is self explanatory .

It walks you through CRUD program to know better.

This is my strong recommendation/.

Hi Puthriah,

I've recently authored a couple of Struts articles for Oracle Magazine that should be helpful for you in getting up to speed with Struts:

Hope that helps,
