   <section name="Welcome to Struts 1.0.1" href="Welcome">

   <p>Welcome to the Struts Framework!  The goal of this project
   is to provide an open source framework useful in building web applications
   with Java <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/servlet">Servlet</a> and
   <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp">JavaServer Pages</a> (JSP)
   technology.  Struts encourages application architectures based on the
   Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm, colloquially known as
   <i>Model 2</i> in discussions on various servlet and JSP related
   mailing lists.</p>

   <p>Struts includes the following primary areas of functionality:</p>
   <ul>
   <li>A controller servlet that dispatches requests to appropriate
       <strong>Action</strong> classes provided by the application
       developer.</li>
   <li>JSP custom tag libraries, and associated support in the controller
       servlet, that assists developers in creating interactive form-based
       applications.</li>
   <li>Utility classes to support XML parsing, automatic population of
       JavaBeans properties based on the Java reflection APIs, and
       internationalization of prompts and messages.</li>
   </ul>

   <p>Struts is part of the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org">Jakarta
   Project</a>, sponsored by the
   <a href="http://www.apache.org">Apache Software Foundation</a>.  The
   official Struts home page is at
   <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts">http://jakarta.apache.org/struts</a>.
   </p>

   <section name="Learning About Struts" href="Docs">

   <p>The <a href="userGuide/kickstart.html"><b>Kickstart FAQ</b></a> quickly answers
   the most common questions about Struts.</p>

   <p>A concise <a href="userGuide/index.html"><b>Users Guide</b></a> is also provided
   with the distribution. The User Guide introduces the Model View Controller
   architecture, and how it relates to the major components of Struts. Several Developer
   Guides are also provided, to help you get started with the Struts tag extensions and
   utility packages.</p>

   <p>For more detail about a specific class or package, the Struts
   <a href="api/index.html"><b>Javadocs</b></a>
   are comprehensive and carefully maintained. It is strongly recommended that
   you refer to the <a href="api/index.html">Javadoc</a>
   for each class as you begin to use it, to be sure important features and options
   are not overlooked. What you don't know, can't help you.</p>

   <p>Of course, the only true documentation is the code itself. If you have any questions
   about how Struts actually works, do not hestate to <i>use the source</i>. For the
   complete, buildable source code to the entire Struts framework, see the "src" folder in
   the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/release/v1.0.1/src/"><b>Struts 1.0 source distribution</b></a>.</p>

   <p>The Struts <a href="userGuide/resources.html"><b>Resources</b></a> page provides links to
   everything else written about  Struts, including books, articles, tutorials, and sample
   applications. There are also links to public sites "Powered by Struts". </p>

   <section name="Acquiring Struts" href="Acquiring">

   <p>The <i>production release</i> of <strong>Struts 1.0.1</strong> is available in
   in convenient binary distribution and also with complete source code.</p>

   <p>For developers who are helping to develop Struts, or who just want
   "the latest bits", the latest development version is made available each

   <section name="Reporting Bugs and Feature Requests" href="Bugs">

   <p>Tracking of bug reports and new feature requests for Struts is hosted at
   <a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/">http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/</a>.
