One of my biggest hassles with
Struts 1.x is managing complex session state on the server. In some places, my Struts 1 action class has to read form values, and lookup data corresponding to client cookie settings in the database, and pull a host of data out of HttpSession attributes.
So:
1. Does Struts 2 have any particular tools to make managing session state easier? If so, are the tools covered in the book?
2. If Struts 2 does not have any tools for managing session state, are there any best practices you recommend? Would they be covered in the book?
