Assumptions This Book Makes

This book assumes that you have some experience with Struts. It's expected that you know how to build and deploy a J2EE web application. A servlet container like Tomcat or Resin is required to run the sample web applications. Full-blown J2EE application server like JBoss, Weblogic, and WebSphere will work fine though they are not required as none of the solutions utilize Enterprise JavaBeans©.

The majority of the sample applications were built and tested on a Windows XP machine running Tomcat 5.0.29. I primarily used Firefox (Version 1.0) as my browser.
