My ever-persuasive editors at Sams have convinced me to do another Kick Start book, this time covering JavaServer Faces. We expect to start writing in the spring for a fall release date.
I've been lucky enough to enlist Craig McClanahan, the spec lead on JSF, to write the forward for the book and provide whatever advice he can fit into his busy schedule.
Posted by blackbear at January 15, 2003 03:27 PMI'm really looking forward to the JSF spec, and
having a "kick start" book about it is good news.
Web developement with java and Struts is pleasant and efficient, and frameworks bloom all around to complement them.
I hope JSF will help normalize and industrualize development and move the quality of web applications one more step forward as servlets
and JSP did in their own time.
Where do I find Tomcat windows instructions.
Posted by: Art Saucedo on February 27, 2003 07:12 PMI couldn't find a place for posting general book errata and questions on the "www.strutskickstart.com" website, so I'll post them here. please contact me with a response.
I have been unable to install the "stocktrack" database using the instructions that start on page 450 of the book: when I run the command "mysql -u demo -p stocktrack" I receive an error message 1045 indicating that "access denied for user: 'demo@localhost'".
Please provide more detailed instructions for configuring MySQL and setting up the example application.
Thanks!

Hi,
I started working on Struts a few days ago. When I was going through your book (Struts - Kick Start ISBN:0-672-32472-5), I found some links are missing. Maybe it is my inability to find the missing links.
(e.g.,)In chapter 7 (page no 120 ), there is a reference to aciton login.do However I could not find reference to this in the config.xml file that follows or how this need to be implemented. Similarly I found in many places there are missing link. I understand the author cannot talk about the entire application. However it would be good for novices like me(to have the entire application made available either in the cd or in this website). Would it be possible to provide the entire application(stocktrack) in your website, please...
