Description:

With the Struts and WebWork merger announcement and the fact

the Java web application landscape is finally maturing and
consolidating. As the leader of the action-style Java web

* The future of Struts and WebWork
* The basics of WebWork
* Advanced AJAX features
* Rapid application development: not just for Ruby on Rails anymore
* Creating rich reusable UI components
