Join us Wednesday May 7th at JavaOne, as we present 'Hands on Struts2'. This presentation will provide a guide to all the features you need to create applications using Struts2. After starting off with an overview of the framework elements and architecture, we'll take a look at validation, data conversion, master-detail forms, Spring framework integration, page templating and Ajax options.

Join us at Javapolis as we present a university session dedicated to Struts2. During this 3 hr session we'll explore Struts2 through a variety of levels. We'll start from the very beginning - by creating a new Struts2 project using Maven2 - and look at the core elements that make up a Struts2 application. From there you'll see first hand how to modify these elements to create a simple application. In the second half, we'll look at the more advanced features - validation, master-detail forms, security options, page templating options and how to integrate Ajax into your Struts2 application.

I am pleased to announce the release of 'Practical Apache Struts2 Web 2.0 Projects'. Rather than a reference guide, my goal for this book is to provide an introduction and practical guide to developing applications using Struts2. This is achieved by developing a Web 2.0 application from scratch, showing how to use a different feature of Struts2 in every chapter. Some of the more advanced features covered are integrating Ajax features,

Join us at Java Brazil 2007 to learn all about Struts2. We will be presenting several talks, including "Hands On Struts2", "Web 2.0 with Struts 2.0" and "Best Practices and Performance Tuning Struts2". For those interested in a hands-on experience, we will be conducting an intensive 1 day workshop on Struts2 in conjunction with Fratech.

I am pleased to announce the release of the mini-book "Starting with Struts2" from InfoQ.com.

"Starting with Struts2" is aimed at those who are new to Strut2, and those familiar with MVC frameworks but unfamiliar with Struts2. It provides everything you need to know to get up and running using Struts2, and can be used as a starting point to explore the more intricate features of the Struts2 framework. Topics include architecture and configuration, how to implement actions, and supporting infrastructure such as validation and internationalization. Also included are productivity tips, providing a practical introduction on how best to use the framework.
