Preface
Over the last few years, web development has turned a very important
corner. Gone are the days when Java™ developers
wrestled with a single JSP that contained presentation logic,
database access via SQL, and navigational intelligence. Java web
developers have learned from their mistakes, paid the price in
debugging and maintenance time, and moved on.The number and variety of readily available web frameworks today is
immense. It's hard to point a browser at a Java
technical site without finding a newly released web framework
that's going to revolutionize the modern world.
While some may see this as a bad thing that might divide the Java
community, the truth is that the constant emergence of new frameworks
is just evolution at work.The design and construction of today's nontrivial
web applications pushes developers to the limit of
what's logically and physically possible. Myriad
solutions are thrown at the problems these applications present. Some
of the solutions stick, and as with human evolution, valuable
characteristics are passed on in future generations of software.
Other solutions do notthose that fail to serve the needs of
users and add value usually fall by the wayside.Through this evolutionary process, the Jakarta Struts framework
(created by Craig R. McClanahan and donated to the
Apache Software Foundation in 2000) has emerged as one of the best
web frameworks available. This book covers Version 1.1, which
contains many major enhancements over the previous Jakarta Struts
release. If you are building applications, web-based or not, one of
the main things you will learn from this book is that frameworks such
as Struts are a great time investment. |
