Review title: Not focused enough
Product review: This book offers too much discussion of general software engineering. I suppose an enty-level developer might find that useful. I just wanted a book that teaches Struts, from "Hello, world" to the dirty details. If you already know the benefits of n-tier applications, much of the text is a waste. If you already know the value of design patterns, and how to apply some, then much of the text is a waste.I found the Wrox book, Professional Jakarta Struts, to be much more focused and useful. That book sticks to the topic, and provides very good reference information on the configuration file and tag libraries.Having said that, I did find the chapter on XDoclet to be useful.
