The absolute best recommendation I think that could be made to you is: 1) http://www.theserverside.com/ <--- Click here 2) Search for "Struts Book Review" 3) Read 4) http://www.bookpool.com/ <--- Go order it :-)
(No, I'm not being paid a commission by Chuck, I just think he did a fine job and deserves to reap the rewards) That one resource will answer so many questions for you that, if you haven't read it yet, you _really_ should. Another good "how-to tricks and tips" is Ted Husted's "Struts Tips" which he posts on basebeans.com's MVC Programmers list. Fortunately, you can also get at (many of) them by going over to http://www.husted.com.
