I would second Wendy's advice, try to follow the example mailreader. The best advice with Struts is try to understand how all the parts of the framework fit together. Action, ActionForm, ActionServlet, View Helpers [Custom Tag libraries] The good news is that Struts framework is relatively a small scale library compared to larger library, e.g. Hibernate. Look for articles on Struts on the TheServerSide.com, Javaworld.com and OnJava.com and you will be fine. -- Peter Pilgrim Operations/IT - Credit Suisse First Boston, Floor 15, 5 Canada Square, London E14 4QJ, United Kingdom Tel: +44-(0)207-883-4497 ============================================================================== Please access the attached hyperlink for an important electronic communications disclaimer: http://www.csfb.com/legal_terms/disclaimer_external_email.shtml ============================================================================== --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
