before reading your book, I read Struts In Action (Manning). As I was immensely disappointed by my first read of Struts In Action, I thought your book was quite good.
Now the critics:
- I think a validator reference a la struts in action at the end of the book is missing (there is none in struts documentation, so this is very useful).
- Contrary to other readers, I found your example application quite useful (especially compared to manning book). It was similar in many aspects to a problem I had to solve.
- Logging aspect should not be part of the book.
- I would have appreciated a presentation of other open source web MVC frameworks (Maverick, WebWork) and a comparison. I think any serious book on struts should present the alternatives.
- A performance chapter ! just because Struts seems to require so many objects.

Fabien.
