The goal of Struts is to provide an open source framework for building Java™ Web applications. Struts encourages applications to be based on the Model 2 approach, which is a variation of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern. Controller components direct the flow of the application (e.g., servlets, JAXP). Model components are written in Java and perform business logic (e.g., JavaBeans, JDBC, EJB, JMS). View components display content to the end user (e.g., JSPs, HTML, XML). Struts can facilitate change and growth in web applications, and can also facilitate specialization of development team members. This advanced three-day course will teach students how to use Java Struts as a framework to develop web applications that follow the Model/View/Controller design pattern. The topics cover the components of Struts that are available from the Jakarta project of the Apache Foundation. The course illustrates what the components provide and effective use of them.
