Hi,
sounds good...
Chapter 1 + 2: hopefully short, as they appear in (almost) every Java-server-related
book
keep them to what Struts does differently
Chapter 8: Is this an introduction into using a taglib (then make it short) or an intro
into writing a taglib (does it fit into the O'Reilly focused and small
approach?)?
Chapter 9: Where is the Struts-related part? That chapter can cover books on its own...
Chapter 13: Make it a bit more general: Separating Struts (Presentation) from EJB or
plain Javabeans (business logic). Almost the same rules apply to JavaBeans
as well as EJB's. Samples could also be EJB only...
Chapter 18: Logging is important also for the Business-Logic, so it should be
separated from Struts...
Chapter 20+21: Important for people learning Struts, so do them well
Appendix A: Depending on the format could fill up the book without aiding to much.
Explain how one can find them after having installed Struts on his
development machine.
Appendix C: Tends to be old before the book is published...A pointer to [Struts_Home]
might be enough
regards
Alexander

Subject: OReilly Struts book
I just wanted to let everyone know that I just signed a contract to write a
book on Struts for O'Reilly. The book just got underway, so
it will not be out until the late summer or early fall.
I've included a rough working outline here, but realize that it's a work in
progress and I will continue to flush out the details over
the coming days. If you have any suggestions for things to add, please feel
free to send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so as
to not flood the newsgroups.
I've used Struts since the beginning and watched it evolve into a the great
framework that it is today and for sure will be
when all of the 1.1 functionality gets rolled in. I intend to cover both
1.0 and 1.1 functionality, although I haven't figured out the
cleanest way to handle the envoling functionltiy. I've started a dialog
with Ted and he's given me some good ideas.
I just finished co-authoring "Special Edition EJB 2.0" and "Special Edition
Using Java 2" and I'm planning on the book
having a heavy focus on EJB and J2EE, since that is my current use of the
framework.
The working outline follows...
