Chapters 1 to 3 serve as the beginner's guide, guiding readers through the overall process of designing, developing, and deploying Struts applications through two Struts application examples, fully demonstrating the advantages of the Struts framework in building open, large-scale, and scalable Web applications. Chapters 4 to 7 delve into the implementation principles of the core components of the Struts framework, ActionServlet and RequestProcessor, and provide a detailed introduction to the various techniques for developing Struts applications in terms of models, views, and controllers. The book meticulously describes the usage of each element in the Struts configuration file.

Chapters 12 to 16, combined with specific Struts application examples, provide a detailed introduction to the use of Struts tag libraries and the Tiles framework. Chapters 17 and 18 explain how to implement the model of the Struts framework using EJB and Web services. Chapters 19 to 21 introduce how to use third-party software, such as Apache Commons Logging API, Log4J, ANT, and StrutsTestCase, to control the output logs, manage, and test Struts application projects.
