<description>
- Struts 2 is a Java web-application development framework.
- It is built specifically with developer productivity and
- code simplicity in mind, providing robust support for building
- reusable UI templates, such as form controls, UI themes,
- internationalization, dynamic form parameter mapping to JavaBeans,
- robust client and server side validation, and much more.
+ Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework,
+ well suited for creating moderate to large-scale Java web
+ applications. The framework is designed to streamline the
+ full development cycle, from building, to deploying,
+ to maintaining applications over time.

- Apache Struts 2 is an open source Java web framework that seeks to make
- it easy to build, deploy, and maintain modern web applications. Struts
2
- is the successor to the popular <a href="../1.x/"> Struts 1</a> web
- application framework, and was originally known as <a
- href="http://www.opensymphony.com/webwork";>WebWork 2</a>. After
working independently
- for several years, the WebWork and Struts communities joined forces to
- create Struts 2. This new version of Struts is designed to be simpler
to
- use and closer to how Struts was always meant to be.
