Jakarta Struts (Action Framework)
Tutorial and Training Materials
This tutorial is derived from
Marty Hall's world-renowned live Jakarta Struts training course.
Note that the course (and this tutorial) now covers Struts 1.2.
The course is usually taught on-site at customer locations, but
servlet, JSP, Struts, and JSF training courses
at public venues are periodically scheduled for people with too few developers
for an onsite course. For descriptions of the various other courses that are
available, please
see the servlet, JSP, Struts,
and JSF training course page.
To inquire about a customized training course at your location, please
contact Marty at hall@coreservlets.com.
Courses on servlets, JSP, JSF, Shale, Hibernate, and Java programming also available.
Available free for university faculty: The original PowerPoint versions of the
tutorials are available free for university faculty in certain cases.
Please see instructor usage rules
for details.
