Title: Many bugs, not helpful, book abandoned by authors
Review: This was the first book that I bought in order to learn Struts. I found that the text was generally unhelpful as it was written from the point of view of Struts 1.0x, whereas 1.1 invalidates much of what the authors talk about (you might as well rip out the chapter about validation and throw it away, because NOTHING in there is valid), assuming it wasn't bug-ridden anyway.The supporting website hasn't been updated since May, 2003, and the links to updated files are all dead (the chapter 3 hello program on the CD doesn't work, so you're SOL now).The ONLY saving grace is the CD.I suggest you look elsewhere for an introductory book; this book seems to be hacked out quickly to capitalize on the Struts phenomenon and just as quickly abandoned.
Is the review positive or negative?
