Tony, I too am new to struts and also to WebSphere Application Developer 4.0. (So new in fact I am still using the Trial Edition while the purchase order goes through... =)
I started by creating projects for all the struts bits: documentation, example, taglib, upload, etc. I downloaded and read several times the strut-by-strut example from Ted Husted's site. (www.husted.com). Finally, in frustration at trying to understand what other people had done I just started building a simple application. I learned more from my trial and error attempts than I ever got from looking at the examples. With the context of my application in mind I was able to find and reuse code, tags, whatever, from the examples. I purchased a couple of books that helped my understanding as well. "JSP and Tag Libraries for Web Development" by Wellington L. S. da Silva (New Riders, isbn: 0-7357-1095-3) This has several chapters on Struts. Also, "Professional JSP Site Design" (Wrox, isbn: 1-861005-51-2) Again, several mentions of Struts, and one of the authors is Ted Husted. Use all the resources listed on the Struts Resources page (http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources.html).

I’m using websphere4.0/WSAD. What’s the best way to get started? Should I try to get the struts example working with websphere instead of creating my own example? If so, do I only need to extract the files in struts-example.war and start the web server? I need to be pointed to the right direction understand struts….thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
