Nat, I am thinking about walking the opposite direction as you do. After playing about the Pet Market from Macromedia MX, I wish my Java Web application have the degree of rich UI. You might be able to tell me how to add the MX on the top of Struts, or similar MVC Java web application: replaying JSP, the "V" with MX, also the "V" with least possible work.
I don't know any Struts books out there. But you shall be able to find tons of on-line tutorial in the subject. Remember "Google is yor friend". One book I can recommend is "Advanced JaveServer Pages" by David Geary. The frameworks introduced in the book are very similar with those in Struts, including MVC one. If you want to write back, please send to my email address.
