THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
The framework documentation is written for active web developers and assumes a working knowledge about how Java web applications are built. For more about the underlying nuts and bolts, see the Key Technologies Primer.
Several tutorials are available to help you get started with the framework, from all-purpose "soup to nuts" tutorials to specialty tutorials on portlets and database access.
Primers
Speciality
- Extending an Application with Custom Plugins
- CRUD Made Easy
- JasperReports Tutorial

WebWork in Action Book
Most of the WebWork in Action book applies to Struts 2. The package names changed, and we've added some features, but the fundamentals remain the same. From a technical perspective, Struts 2 is WebWork 3. (Patrick Lightbody, Jason Carreira)($)
