Summary: Read this book....
Review: Finally, a book that tells it like it is. The author points out the highs and lows of the J2EE architecture and provides countless practical and useful patterns for avoiding pitfalls in J2EE development. I've used several of his ideas already and have been extremely impressed with the included examples and clarity of the text. Additionally, there is much more detail in this book than I've found in other similar texts that seem to stop after explaining the basics.

Review: I am sorry, but this book is the biggest pile of crap I have seen in a longtime. The Sample code is very sloppy and over engineered. I honestly think the author needs to go back to CS101 and find out what the Framework is all about. I rather burn the money than buying this book and waist my time.

Review: This book is out of date. The struts examples use the perform method (version 1.0) and there has been a lot of changes from 1.0 to 1.1. Version 1.1 has been out in beta for 2 years now and officially for 1 year... Forget about it for now and wait for a new edition with Struts 1.1.

Summary: Best kept secret?
Review: This is the best J2EE helper book period. I've been developing J2EE based applications for 2 years now and have read many books on the subject. Most of the J2EE books just repackage the specifications and write about common sense approaches. J2EE Best Practices, will give you concrete information on how to use EJB 2.0 for the "real" world now!. You can and will use this book to ensure the success of your current EJB 2.0 project. The material on CMR Entity beans is extremely valuable for anyone trying to implement Business Objects based on J2EE. I use Cocoon for my Web Interface, but this book has some good info for Struts users as well. Go to your nearest book store and get that edge you've been looking for. While your buddies are reading "Core J2EE', "Bitter EJB', "Expert One on One J2EE Design..", "Mastering J2EE..", etc...

Summary: Build better Web-based business apps w/J2EE and Struts
Review: Truly remarkable book. Lots of important nuggets of information in here. Good compliment to some of the other Java patterns and blueprints books out there. Author is someone who obviously spent time with J2EE and knows about software architecture. Nice to see how he used Struts in the sample app. too.
