Tools You'll Need

None of the technologies discussed in this book are platform-specific. You can make the presented Struts examples run on anything from a Windows 95 desktop machine to a Linux or Solaris server. Many of examples in the book are done under Windows, but they work equally well under other operating systems.

The application server you're using shouldn't matter either. All the examples are built using Jakarta Tomcat, but only because the authors assumed that everyone could get a copy of it and install it easily (a copy of Tomcat is included on the companion CD-ROM). Even so, people around the world are running Struts on all variety of application servers, including WebLogic, WebSphere, iPlanet, and many more.

All the applications, such as Struts, JBoss, Apache Axis, and MySQL, are included on the CD-ROM and are either open source or free for instructional use, so you won't need to purchase any additional software to run the examples or develop your own projects.

In addition to all sample applications and third-party tools used in the book, the CD-ROM also contains a copy of Sun's Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v 1.4.1 (also known as J2SE 1.4.1). Since the J2SE 1.4.1 is rather large, this may save you quite a bit of downloading time. You should note, however, that while Struts and Tomcat have been pretty well debugged for J2SE 1.4.1, we can't ensure that all the other applications provided on the CD-ROM have. In particular, JBoss 3.0.3 had a few documented issues with it. To be safe, all the sample code and third-party applications have been tested with Sun's J2SE v1.3.1.
