Acknowledgments

This book wouldn't exist if it weren't for a dedicated group of individuals who have come together to create the Struts application framework itself. The work of getting Struts 1.1 ready for release was unglamorous, much of it downright tedious . Because of that, the authors would like to acknowledge the hard work of the entire Struts community, especially the core committers who are the lifeblood of the project.

A particular nod of thanks goes to Craig McClanahan, the originator of Struts, who continues to be one of the most active contributors. Several times during the writing of this book, he provided helpful direction on unclear or poorly documented areas of the Struts framework.

And finally, a thanks to our families, who had to endure our absence (mentally and sometimes physically) as we worked to get this book out under a fairly grueling schedule.
