Building web applications that are maintainable and extensible requires a significant amount of design and planning before even a single line of code can be written. However, by leveraging development frameworks, many of the challenges of web-based development can be overcome. This book acts as a roadmap to demonstrate how to use the Jakarta Struts framework to solve everyday web application development challenges.
Jakarta Struts is a web development framework that provides a set of code libraries that provide the infrastructure of a web application based on a well established and accepted design pattern. Version 1.1 of Struts provides new and additional functionality in areas such as presentation and error handling.
