Welcome to Struts!
The goal of this project is to provide an open source framework for
building web applications.
The core of the Struts framework is a flexible control layer based on
standard technologies like Java
Servlets, JavaBeans, ResourceBundles, and Extensible Markup Language
(XML), as well as various
Jakarta Commons packages.
Struts encourages application architectures based on the Model 2 approach,
a variation of the classic
Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm.
Struts provides its own Controller component and integrates with
other technologies to provide
the Model and the View.
For the Model, Struts can interact with any
standard data access technology,
including Enterprise Java Beans, JDBC, and Object Relational Bridge.
For the View, Struts works well with JavaServer Pages,
including JSTL and JSF,
as well as Velocity Templates, XSLT, and
other presentation systems.
The Struts framework provides the invisible underpinnings every
professional web application needs to survive.
Struts helps you create an extensible development environment for your
application, based on published standards and proven design patterns.
Struts is part of the
Apache Jakarta Project,
sponsored by the
Apache Software Foundation.
