Re: Suggestion needed on good Struts book
Struts In Action does cover the basics in more detail than some of the other books available, but I have to agree there really are a lot of irritating typos in there, and the provided examples sometimes don't match up with the code presented in the book. The Spielman book is a quick overview of the basics but does not go into much detail. There's a SAMS book called Struts Kick Start that has some good information in it. The O'Reilly book, Programming Jakarta Struts, is a good overview (most O'Reilly books are pretty decent), although it seems a little more segmented than Husted's book. O'Reilly also puts out a Jakarta Struts Pocket Reference that is handy to have around. Each book has its good points and bad points - for FredB, the best thing to do is take a look at all of them at the local bookstore and decide which best fits the user's learning level and style. -Steve - Original Message - From: "Frank Burns" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 9:07 AM Subject: Re: Suggestion needed on good Struts book I would say I'm smack bang in the middle of my Struts learning curve and, in my opinion, the single most useful resource I have found is this six-part series of articles: http://www.ftponline.com/javapro/2002_09/online/servletsjsp_bkurniawan_09_13_02/ In terms of books, I've got both "Struts In Action" and "Programming Jakarta Struts". Each have their strengths and weaknesses in terms of the depth and breadth of information that they contain. However, in terms of *how* the information is presented, I personally find the "Struts In Action" really frustrating. It's as though the content has been *forced* into the "In Action" format. And the result, unfortunately, is that it works neither as a good hand-held tour through Struts (very long-winded, and repetitive), nor as a useful reference book (the useful information is scattered throughout its various sections). And, finally, I have the FOURTH *corrected* reprint, and it's still riddled with typos. My recommendation would be the above-mentioned series of articles and "Programming Jakarta Struts".

Re: Struts 1.1 on Tomcat 5.0.18? Solved.
Solved. This turned out to be an issue between Struts1.1, Tomcat 5.0.18 and most importantly, j2sdk1.3.1. Removing j2sdk1.3.1, installing j2sdk1.4.2_03, then removing and reinstalling Tomcat 5.0.18 and the Struts1.1 WAR files (and adjusting JAVA_HOME, of course) solved the pesky "java.lang.IllegalStateException: zip file closed" problem on an NT machine. The Struts examples now work (and the other Tomcat files always did work with j2sdk1.3.1). - Original Message - From: "Adam Hardy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 12:21 PM Subject: Re: Struts 1.1 on Tomcat 5.0.18? Since no-one has said anything about an error in the struts-examples app here, then I assume it's something in your setup that you or your colleagues have done. Did you do anything during install apart from set JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, PATH? Do you have anything in JAVA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTIONS? Did you edit catalina.sh? (Are you windows or unix?) You should of course check the list archive and bugzilla to make sure that it's not a recognised problem, if it's happening with a clean install. Where did you find out about the Sun / tomcat issue? Which version of JDK and Tomcat does it affect?

Tomcat 5 comes with Jasper 2 enabled by default - it has jasper-compiler.jar and jasper-runtime.jar in the tomcat5\common\lib directory already. So, that can't be it.
