Stripes: The Official Guide to Stripes Java Web Framework

Stripes: The Official Guide to Stripes Java Web Framework is a comprehensive tour of the Stripes framework. It covers the framework’s history, setting up a new project, running your first Stripes application, and configuration. You’ll also learn about ActionBeans, binding, annotations, validation, the layout template, integration with other frameworks (Spring, Hibernate, etc.), clean URLs, the form tag library, and interceptors. You’ll encounter all of these topics in a walkthrough of creating an entire application from beginning to end. The book also covers Ajax, but not as a buzz word. Stripes is an excellent framework for Ajax-centric applications, and this will be demonstrated throughout the book. Ajax will be used where it makes sense, and you will see how simple it is to implement within Stripes. The example application is Bugzooka, which is a production-ready application for tracking software bugs. By seeing how this application is created, you’ll come to see how easy it is using Stripes for implementing real-world applications.
