Struts: Submitted By: Deepti Bhardwaj

Struts is an open source MVC framework used to build structured web applications. It follows the MVC pattern with models handling business logic, views presenting data to users, and controllers routing requests and responses. Key Struts components include JSP views, a configuration file mapping requests to action classes, action classes processing requests and returning responses, and action forms capturing user input. Struts provides tag libraries for beans, HTML, logic, and templates to help build the web application.

Struts

Submitted By:

Struts Framework
• Open source.

• Use to build well-structured Web applications.

• Based on Model-View-Controller (MVC) design.


MVC Design
• Model (M) : implementation /business layer.
Implementation of business logic / business processes.

• View (V) : data presentation layer. Presentation of the


data to the user.

• Controller (C) : central control unit. Route requests and


responses i.e. handling application flow.
Struts Components
• View: JSP, JavaBeans, Struts JSP tags etc.

• Controller: Maps request URI to action class.

• Configuration file: struts_config.xml file contains all the


configuration or routing information.

• Action Class: process a request and returns ActionForward


object of the next component to be invoked.

• Action Forms: Captures the user input and validates before


passes the request to the action.
Struts Taglib
• Different type of tag libraries:
- Bean
- HTML
- Logic
- Template

Tag library need to be declared in the web.xml file.


Bean Tags
• Access beans and their properties.
• Define new bean based on value of request cookies,
parameters and headers.

• Examples:
<bean:define/> create variables from beans
<bean:write/> used to output contents of the bean
<bean:parameter/> get a request parameter
HTML Tags
• Used to create input forms in Struts.
• Also error messages and hyper linking.

• Examples
<html:errors/> display error (ActionErrors is already created
inside validate() or execute())
Logic Tags
• Presentation logic tags – no need of scriptlets.
• Looping over object collection, generating output on
conditions etc.

• Examples:
<logic:present/> & <logic:notPresent> present in JSP page or
not.
<logic:equal/> & <logic:notEqual> compare with a particular
value
Template Tag
• Dynamic content inclusion like include directive in standard
JSP.
• Dynamic JSP template.
• Examples:
<template:insert> includes a template
<template:put> puts content into template
<template:get> gets the content inserted into the template
using put
Struts 2
• Improvement on Struts 1.
• Struts2 classes are based on interfaces and HTTP
independent.
• XML based default configuration files which are easy to
extend.
• Instead of a servlet with HTTPServletRequest and
HTTPServletResponse any java class with execute() method
can be use as a Action class.
• Tags provided for implementing AJAX functionality in
application.
• Thank You
