Excellent, Clear Foundation of Struts, 2007-10-28, Rating: 5.
James Holmes's explanation of the fundamentals of Struts is very clear, thorough and specific. I am very grateful for the foundation he has given me.
Deep basic introduction, 2007-08-05, Rating: 4.
Overall very good book for starters but don't expect here too much. Case study is well designed to cover most development scenarios presented in the book. However, it doesn't bother to explain how to use Struts with databases. This is a big disadvantage of the title. Besides of that if all the repeated descriptions will be removed the book might easily lose 1/3 of its weight. Nevertheless, this is not a bad book and I'll keep it as a quick reference for some while.
Great introduction to struts, good reference, 2007-06-15, Rating: 4.
Overall a well written and lucid introduction to struts programming. Struts:TCR needs a better index to be a truly great reference book, but I would still recommend it to anyone starting out with struts.
Can't go wrong with this one, 2007-05-07, Rating: 5.
This book presents the technical information in a straight forward and organized manner that is useful to a first time Struts user such as myself. The first portion does a fine job to describe what Struts is used for and how the pieces fit together and the second portion is superb raw reference material. Great combination.

Why publish a "2nd Edition" on Struts in December when the next generation of Struts was just weeks away from going GA? Instead, you should really focus on looking into Struts 2.0, which is a complete overhaul of the architecture.
Folks have been complaining for years about the deficiencies of Struts, most of which have been addressed by 2.0.
Do yourself a favor and wait until the inevitable avalanche of books that will come out in the coming months on Struts 2. Another option is to purchase Manning's WebWork In Action which details the framework that Struts 2.0 is built on.
