I was originally trawling through the tutorial at http://www.javaranch.com/newsletter/Mar2002/newslettermar2002.jsp which is not a bad intro to the whole idea, but as i have discovered it contains numerous errors, typos and references to deprecated code (eg the process method). By digging around in the example code in the .wars that came with 1.1beta I was able to get some basic login pages up and working.
I heard of struts a year or so ago when I was messing about with cocoon and crudlet projects. So yesterday i decided that there must be a better way of doing web applications - handling standard things like login and regsitration, user roles etc etc. Struts seems to me to come the closest to addressing my concerns neatly. It's damn near to what I had already written, only more complete and cleaner by a mile. I am impressed. a few hours of reading and futzing and now i can scrap a whole package from my new webapp. cheers and thanks dave ps: are there any GUIs with built in support for struts and JSTL and other standard taglibs?
