WebWork helps developers build well-designed applications quickly by
creating re-usable, modular, web-based applications. WebWork in Action
is the first book to focus entirely on WebWork. Like a true Action book,
it is both a tutorial on WebWork and a sourcebook for its use in
demanding, real-world applications. The book goes into considerable
depth on how to get desirable web features with WebWork. It uses the
same basic (continuing) example as in Manning's Hibernate in Action to
show how to integrate WebWork with the popular Hibernate persistance
framework.
Although Java was (correctly) touted as the next big programming
language, it wasn't until the introduction of J2EE and Servlets that its
use really took off. Yet, in spite of the huge popularity of JSPs and
Servlets, it was never easy for developers to quickly create re-usable,
modular web-based applications. Not long after the introduction of JSPs,
WebWork sought to solve those very problems and has been helping
thousands of developers ever since. WebWork is a web-application
framework used by people who understand that somewhere been just get it
done, no matter how ugly and make it perfect lies their best choice.
WebWork helps developers build applications quickly, but its unique
design also lets developers build beautifully-designed applications.
