A web application step-by-step introduction to building Struts for Java developers Learn to build Struts applications quickly build an ecommerce store step-by-step using Struts progress Well-structured and logical through important In Detail Jakarta Struts is an Open Source Java framework for developing web applications. With a separate clean logic and presentation, Struts makes applications easier to manage and maintain. Since contributions to the Apache Foundation in 2001, Struts has been rapidly accepted as the leading Java web application framework, and established community support and development. Struts-based web site built from the ground up to be easily modified and maintained, and internationalization and flexibility of design has been rooted. Struts uses a design pattern Model-View-Controller to enforce a strict separation between processing logic and presentation logic, and enables efficient object re-use. This book was written as a structured tutorial, with chapters on each of the last building. The combination of theory and practical examples of putting a good solid understanding of the principles and practice of building Struts applications. What you will learn from this book? Understanding the architecture of the Model-View-Controller and how it is implemented in Struts How to start building applications with Struts how to produce well-crafted applications and strong using sound software engineering practices How to build complete applications, in this case a web bookstore Approach This book sets out to get Java developers up to speed and confident with Struts as quickly as possible. This does not explain every feature in Struts, but takes a logical path through the important information, with emphasis on practical application. Who is this book written for?
