| The Apache Struts web framework is a free open-source solution for creating Java web applications. |
| |
| Web applications differ from conventional websites in that web applications can create a dynamic response. |
| Many websites deliver only static pages. A web application can interact with databases and business logic engines |
| to customize a response. |
| |
| Web applications based on JavaServer Pages sometimes commingle database code, page design code, and control flow |
| code. In practice, we find that unless these concerns are separated, larger applications become difficult to |
| maintain. |
| |
| One way to separate concerns in a software application is to use a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. The |
| Model represents the business or database code, the View represents the page design code, and the Controller |
| represents the navigational code. The Struts framework is designed to help developers create web applications that |
| utilize a MVC architecture. |
| |
| The framework provides three key components: |
| |
| * A "request" handler provided by the application developer that is mapped to a standard URI. |
| * A "response" handler that transfers control to another resource which completes the response. |
| * A tag library that helps developers create interactive form-based applications with server pages. |
| |
| The framework's architecture and tags are buzzword compliant. Struts works well with conventional REST applications |
| and with nouveau technologies like SOAP and AJAX. |
