RE: Struts cookbook
I think that publication of chapters must happen through Manning's site. I'm contractually bound to work within their parameters concerning publication of materials. I'm sure that the Manning site will announce and publish some teasers as soon as they can, as they are anxious to get the book to market. We (George and I) still want to incorporate our final changes and suggestions from the reviewers (Cedric DuMoulin, Joe Germuska, Steve Raeburn, et.al.). Check http://books.manning.com/ for the announcement.

Struts cookbook
Hi all, I am a huge fan of O'Reilly's cookbooks, which seem to contain a good deal of useful material for doing all sorts of different things. Today I thought about the idea of making a Struts cookbook, although two things would be different from how O'Reilly does it: 1. It wouldn't be a published book, but rather a web site, and 2. I'm not going to be writing all of it With that in mind, I would like to ask all of you (who I have received some excellent advice from, by the way) if any of you would be interested in contributing material to such a web site. I simply don't have the time or experience to come up with everything, but I'm sure that collectively we could put something together that could be pretty slick. I could easily host the site, and perhaps simply organize all of the information I receive from you. I appreciate all the information already available with Struts, but I also like it when I can simply look it up and be done with it. I would like to see recipes posted there that cover everything from how to do stuff with tags, iBatis, tiles, and whatever else. Even delving into other stuff like web services and how that ties in with Struts would be good. I don't want to focus so much on concept as I would simply how to get something done quickly and easily. What do you think? Good idea? Dumb idea? I'm interested in your thoughts on such a thing. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Andy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Struts cookbook
I've had this idea for months now and actually had some entries already written (with full web apps to illustrate) and I've also started collecting cookbook entries from responses to this mailing list. I was in the process of writing the app to hold them late last year but got sidetracked. So yes, I'm interested and would certainly participate. What did you have in mind? Where do you plan to host this? What would the interface be? Would it contain just code samples or would there be some way to also attach actual files/classes?

There is already StrutsCatalog, but that's Best/Common Practices, which is not, I think, what you're after.

Ahh ok, good deal. So yes, I'm interested and would certainly participate. What did you have in mind? I thought it would be best if it is easy to use.

Everything would be broken down into sections, and then beneath each section would be the recipes that would be placed in that section, all of which would be links to the recipes. Where do you plan to host this? I have some space where we can host it. What would the interface be? Well, nothing more than HTML and perhaps a few graphics here and there to make it look decent. But not too decent; this is, after all, a technical web site. :) Would it contain just code samples or would there be some way to also attach actual files/classes? I thought it best to just have source code, and then perhaps a links page where visitors could go to download materials, such as a link to the Struts page, a link to reumann.net, and so on. I really want to focus on the ease of use and usefulness aspects of the site. As far as receiving material is concerned, perhaps that could be best accomplished by a page with a form on it where we could collect the author's name, e-mail address, topic, and then a textarea where they could write their recipe. From there, we'd receive it and simply post it onto the site, hopefully with very little/no editing involved. When the recipe(s) are posted, the author's name will be included at the top of the page, along with maybe some sort of optional method to contact the author.

Re: Struts cookbook
Actually, a struts cookbook is just in the finishing stages. George Franciscus and I have been hard at work at it for the last year, and it's in final review. Manning will publish it during the last part of the next quarter. I got into the project for the same reason that others on the list are talking about it. Lots of books out there with theory and general knowledge (some of it great, some of it not so great!), but not much in the way of implementation, good solid explanations, or integration with other technologies and tools, like Hibernate, StrutsTestCase, the struts-layout tag library, Ant, etc. We hope that we've addressed many of these to the satisfaction of the community. It's not an easy thing to do! Danilo Gurovich Manager, Web Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2401 Colorado Ave., 2nd Floor Santa Monica, CA 90404 (310) 998-6412
