Great book. Thanks. Restful action mapper and Plugin system are great additions to WebWork the last time I saw.
Couple of questions:
1) Why isn't Tiles result part of the default result types. I see a plugin available to this from the plugin registry, but it would be great if it comes out of the box with Struts2.
2) The last time I checked, data binding for nested list (or array) properties was not supported or there was some issue around it which I cannot recall exactly. For example, setting List of Address beans on a Person bean was not supported by the data binding or there wasn't a way to express the element type for the nested list in the conversion.properties.

A good book for getting an overview over struts2. Also the included bugs in the examples are giving you a deeper look into struts2 while resolving these issues.

p. 26: PrincipalAware is correct. There is no PrincipleProxy class, but rather a (correctly spelled) Principal<><>Proxy class.
Principal: (adj) first or highest in rank, importance, value
Principle: (noun) an accepted or professed rule of action or conduct
Not the same thing
