Acknowledgements
This book would never have been possible without the tireless
effort of all the developers of WebWork, XWork and Struts2.
For my transition from open source user to open source
developer, I would like to thank Patrick Lightbody and Jason
Carreira.
To the technical reviewers – Don Brown, Philip Luppens and
Rene Gielen – many thanks for providing the final adjustments
on a moving target. I would like to acknowledge and thank both
Jim Krygowski and James Walker for taking time out of their
busy schedules to provide an impartial judgment on the
continuity and content from a non-Struts2 perspective. With
their assistance, the readers experience has improved without a
doubt. I would like to thank Floyd Marinescu for his
confidence, and for providing writing opportunities in both
online and published formats.
I would also like to thank my remarkable wife LeAnn (a.k.a.
STR Worldwide). Her continuing support and ongoing review
and non-geek analysis of the manuscript has been invaluable.
