Jakarta Struts

Jakarta Struts, now commonly known as Apache Struts, is a top-level, high-end, open-source framework for J2EE web application development that was developed by Craig McClanahan in May 2000. Jakarta Struts utilizes and enhances the Java Servlet API to support and promote developers in adopting a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture. The Jakarta Project maintains open source software under the Java platform, operating within the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation. Jakarta Struts became a high-end Apache project in 2005.

Jakarta Struts separates the model from the view and the controller. Struts is used to enhance productivity and functionality in the processing of web pages. Typically, in a J2EE application, a client submits information via a web form to a server, the data passes to a Java servlet for processing, incurs database interaction which then produces an HTML-formatted response (or passed to a JavaServer Pages (JSP) document to interact with HTML and Java code). Struts improves upon these processes for larger projects and simplifies maintenance.

The tutorials on Jakarta Struts within Tech Articles section provide the developer, programmer and serious IT professional with all relevant information related to Jakarta Struts. Writing simple struts applications using WebSphere Studio V5, Struts training for beginners, advanced forms handling and handling messages, errors and exceptions are discussed.
