3rd paragraph. |
In referencing Figure 1-3, the paragraph begins by saying "Notice that there is no
servlet involved in the process". However, on page 5, it correctly states that JSP
pages end up being nothing more than servlets. The 1st and 2nd sentences could
probably be combined as "Notice that the client request is sent directly to a JSP
page...". Then in paragraph 4, the part reading "the client request is first
intercepted by a servlet..." could be changed to something like "the client request
is first intercepted by a front controller servlet...".

The comment in the logout method. |
The comment reads "Do nothing with right now, but might want to log it for auditing
purposes". It is referring to the email argument. This comment could be clarified a
bit.

example 7-1 |
This example doesn't use jsp HTML tags. The source bundle does use jsp tags in
storefront/web/security/signin.jsp but doesn't work because the <html:form> scope
doesn't include the continue button.
Solution is to move closing <html:/form> to approx 93 (after the continue image)

Near the end of sec 14.5 |
I've discovered a problem with tiles. In your chapter on tiles you suggest that a tile definition can be referenced in a global forward, like this:
<global-forwards>
<forward name="Super_Success" path="storefront.superuser.main" />
</global-forwards>
However, this doesn't work - you'll get a 404 error saying /<whatever>/search.page can't be found.
This is a known problem - see http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18799 It still doesn't work in Struts 1.3.8.
For some reason the Struts developers have decided not to fix it. In fact, there is a pretty simple workaround: create an action like this:
<action path="/Super_Success" forward="storefront.superuser.main"></action>
