I have purchased and just received both Struts in Action and Struts Kick Start. For someone like me who is just moving into Struts, I have found Struts Kick Start to be the best resource, due to it's extensive examples on how to use the Struts tag libraries. The one thing I don't like about it, is that it does NOT differentiate which version of Struts the info being discussed applies to. Where as the Struts in Action book DOES clearly stated during a discussion of a particular topic/feature, whether the feature is available in both Struts 1.1 and 1.0, or only 1.1. Since I am working in Struts 1.02, and learning Struts at the same time, this has been VERY useful.
Both books are excellent, and if you have the money to purchase both, I would recommend it. Some things are better presented in one book than the other, and the ability to get "two takes" on a particular topic/aspect of Struts really helps me understand/learn Struts.

I then read a lot of reviews and decided that I want Struts in Action first, and I have ordered it from Amazon.com, am waiting for the book now a days..it will take almost 15 days for me to receive the book. I chose this one only because somewhere I read that this book consolidates the general problems put-up in this forum.
