Pro Apache Struts with Ajax

Pro Apache Struts and Ajax maps out how to use the most widely used Apache Struts MVC Web framework, so you can solve everyday web application development challenges. This book takes an application-centric approach: the development of an application drives the Struts along with Ajax coverage-not the other way around.Improper design can lead to long term dependencies on the Struts framework, which makes code re-use difficult to achieve. But the authors helpfully discuss Struts from an anti-pattern perspective. The end result: you will learn to use Struts very effectively!
