Hi, I have just finished with Head first jsp and servlets by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates.
I want to start my struts 2 journey.
Which book is the best? Or should I go for online tutorials
And if you can please tell me a more advanced book for jsp and servlets, which can complete my study beyond the certification.

Thanks in advance!

(Note:It's not that I haven't checked at the java ranch bunk house, but i am confused, as to totally start with ground 0, which book or online tutorial i should go with).

Welcome to JavaRanch!

I generally recommend Struts 2 in Action, although it's a bit behind version-wise (it covers Struts 2.0). My book covers more of what's in Struts 2.1, but is more of a general web development book covering some JavaScript, CSS, documentation and coding habits, testing, etc. so it's not really as "reference-like".

Depending on your experience level, it might be enough to look at the sample applications included in the S2 download and take it from there--that depends on your learning style. (Budi's S2 Design and Programming is also good, but also S2.0.)
