21 [[Starting with Struts2>>url:http://www.karunya.edu/cse/collaboration/sun/resources/StartingStruts2online2.pdf]] (pdf)- It's free, It's Online...

23 ==== Others ====
24
25 [[Java Peristence with JPA>>url:http://amzn.com/1432755854]] - A great book. If you're going to be using JPA it should be on the shelf.
26
27 [[JavaScript the good parts>>url:http://amzn.com/0596517742]] - Good reference book, the Rhino book has been recently been updated too, I have not looked at it recently but only a small portion of that book is dedicated the the JS langauge and the rest of its huge bulk is dedicated to API, for which I'd rather use the web.
28
29 [[Spring in Action>>url:http://amzn.com/1935182358]] - A very enjoyable and useful book as an introduction to Spring features.
