for creating
+ elegant and modern Java web applications. While the
predecessor Struts 1
+ used a lot of XML in old times, Struts 2 applications can be
configured
+ by "Convention". Struts 2 applications support the MVC
pattern, allow a
+ REST-like approach and enables you to create full-featured
AJAX applications.

- <h2>The Apache Struts web framework</h2>
- <a name="Welcome"/>
- <p>
- The Apache Struts web framework is a free open-source
solution for creating
- Java web applications.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Web applications differ from conventional websites in that
- web applications can create a dynamic response.
- Many websites deliver only static pages.
- A web application can interact with databases and
- business logic engines to customize a response.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Web applications based on JavaServer Pages sometimes
- commingle database code, page design code, and control
- flow code.
- In practice, we find that unless these concerns are
- separated,
- larger applications become difficult to maintain.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- One way to separate concerns in a software application is
to
- use a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture.
- The <em>Model</em> represents the business or database
code,
- the <em>View</em> represents the page design code,
- and the <em>Controller</em> represents the navigational
code.
- The Struts framework is designed to help developers create
- web applications that utilize a MVC architecture.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The framework provides three key components:
- </p>
-
- <ul>
- <li>
- A "request" handler provided by the application
developer
- that is mapped to a standard URI.
- </li>
- <li>
- A "response" handler that transfers control to another
resource
- which completes the response.
- </li>
- <li>
- A tag library that helps developers create interactive
- form-based applications with server pages.
- </li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>
- The framework's architecture and tags are buzzword
compliant.
- Struts works well with conventional REST applications
- and with nouveau technologies like SOAP and AJAX.
- </p>

- <h2>The Apache Struts Project</h2>
- <p>
- The Apache Struts Project is the open source community
- that creates and maintains the Apache Struts framework.
- The project consists of a diverse group of volunteers who
- share common values regarding collaborative,
community-based
- open source development.
- The Apache Struts Project is proud to share these values
with
- our parent organization: The Apache Software Foundation.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The project is called "Struts" because the framework is
meant to
- furnish the "invisible underpinnings" that support
professional
- application development.
- Struts provides the glue that joins the various elements
- of the standard Java platform into a coherent whole.
- Our goal is to leverage existing standards by producing the
- missing pieces we need to create enterprise-grade
applications
- that are easy to maintain over time.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The Apache Struts Project offers two major versions of the
- Struts framework.
- Struts 1 is recognized as
- <em>the</em> most popular web application framework for
Java.
- The 1.x framework is mature, well-documented, and widely
- supported.
- Struts 1 is the best choice for teams who value proven
- solutions to common problems.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Struts 2 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
- <a href="announce-2005.html#a20051214.3">joined forces</a>
- to create Struts 2.
- The 2.x framework is the best choice for teams who value
- elegant solutions to difficult problems.

- <h2>Struts for Newbies</h2>
- <p>
- If you are new to development with Struts,
- here are some pointers on how to get started.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The framework "stands on the shoulders of giants".
- To use Struts well, it's important to have a good grasp of
the
- fundamentals.
- Start by reviewing the
- <a href="http://struts.apache.org/primer.html";>Key
Technologies primer</a>,
- and studying any unfamiliar topics.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Next, branch to either the
- <a href="http://struts.apache.org/2.x/index.html";>Struts
2</a> or
- <a href="http://struts.apache.org/1.x/index.html";>Struts
1</a>
- documentation
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The Struts 2 documentation is maintained as a wiki, but
don't let that
- stop you from scrolling through. We have organized the
wiki so that
- it can be read like a book, cover to cover. Just keep
following the
- Next links.
- </p>

alt="Starting Struts 2" hspace="16" align="left" style="height: 160px;"/></a>
- Better yet, turn first to the
- <a href="http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/starting-struts2";>
- Starting with Struts2</a> book.
- At 122 pages, it's a small book that doesn't try to
replicate the
- online Struts 2 Documentation. Instead, the book is a
perfect complement
- to the Struts 2 website. The "minibook" is available both
as a free PDF
- and in conventional printed form.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- For Struts 1, the most up-to-date book would be
- <a href="http://www.jamesholmes.com/StrutsTCR/";>Struts:
The Complete Reference</a>.
- For newbies, <a
href="http://www.dummies.com/store/product/Jakarta-Struts-For-Dummies.productCd-0764559575.html";>Struts
for Dummies</a>
- is another good choice.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- And don't hesitate to
- <a href="http://struts.apache.org/helping.html";>get
involved</a>.
- The best way to help with any open source project is to
improve the
- documentation!
- There are mountains of Struts know-how posted to the
- <a href="http://struts.apache.org/mail.html";>user mailing
list</a>
- that could be sholved into the documentation.
- (How do you think this section started?)
