+ <h1 id="extending-an-application-with-custom-plugins">Extending an
Application with Custom Plugins</h1>
+
+<p>In this tutorial, we will show how easily our application can be made
extensible using the Struts 2 plugin mechanism.
+To keep the demonstration simple, our plugin will expose a JavaBean that
writes a message. Plugins may include any
+combination of JavaBeans, Actions, Interceptors, Results or other resources
we’d like available to an application.</p>
+
+<h2 id="the-interface">The Interface</h2>
+
+<p>At runtime, plugins are retrieved and referenced via an Interface. So,
first, we should define an interface that our
+plugin will implement. This interface must be available to both our web
application and the plugin. To reduce coupling
+between the web application and the plugins, keep the interface in a separate
JAR.</p>
+
+<p><strong>IMyPlugin.java</strong></p>
+
+<div class="language-java highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre
class="highlight"><code><span class="kn">package</span> <span
class="n">example</span><span class="o">;</span>
+
+<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kd">interface</span> <span
class="nc">IMyPlugIn</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="n">String</span> <span class="nf">saySomething</span><span
class="o">();</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</code></pre></div></div>
+
+<h2 id="the-plugin">The Plugin</h2>
+
+<p>Now that we have an interface to implement we’ll create the plugin. At load
time, the framework looks for JARs
+containing a <code class="highlighter-rouge">struts-plugin.xml</code> file at
the root of the archive. To create a plugin, all we need to do is build
+a JAR and put the expected <code
class="highlighter-rouge">struts-plugin.xml</code> at the root.</p>
+
+<p>To get started, let’s create a class that implements our IMyPlugin
interface.</p>
+
+<p><strong>MyPlugin.java</strong></p>
+
+<div class="language-java highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre
class="highlight"><code><span class="kn">package</span> <span
class="n">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span
class="na">impl</span><span class="o">;</span>
+
+<span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">example.IMyPlugin</span><span
class="o">;</span>
+
+<span class="kd">public</span> <span class="kd">class</span> <span
class="nc">MyPlugin</span> <span class="kd">implements</span> <span
class="n">IMyPlugin</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="kd">public</span> <span class="n">String</span> <span
class="nf">saySomething</span><span class="o">()</span> <span class="o">{</span>
+ <span class="k">return</span> <span class="s">"We don't need no
education"</span><span class="o">;</span>
+ <span class="o">}</span>
+<span class="o">}</span>
+</code></pre></div></div>
+
+<p>Internally, the framework utilizes a number of JavaBeans. We can use the
<code class="highlighter-rouge">bean</code> element to add our own JavaBeans
+to the set managed by the framework.</p>
+
+<p><strong>struts-default.xml</strong></p>
+
+<div class="language-xml highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre
class="highlight"><code><span class="cp"><?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" ?></span>
+
+<span class="cp"><!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
+ "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.5//EN"
+ "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.5.dtd"></span>
+
+<span class="nt"><struts></span>
+ <span class="nt"><bean</span> <span class="na">type=</span><span
class="s">"example.IMyInterface"</span> <span class="na">class=</span><span
class="s">"example.impl.MyPlugin"</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span
class="s">"myPlugin"</span><span class="nt">/></span>
+<span class="nt"></struts></span>
+</code></pre></div></div>
+
+<p>Finally, to install the plugin, drop the JAR file under WEB-INF/lib.</p>
+
+<h2 id="the-action">The Action</h2>
+
+<p>The JavaBeans configured by <code class="highlighter-rouge">bean</code>
elements can be retrieved via a Container provided by XWork 2. We obtain
+a reference to the Container by using the <code
class="highlighter-rouge">@Inject</code> notation. (This notation is part of
the Guice framework that
+XWork and Struts use under the covers.) The framework predefines a Container
object, and the <code class="highlighter-rouge">@Inject</code> annotation tells
+the framework to set its Container object to the Action property.</p>
+
+<p>We might want to supply a number of JavaBeans to the application this way.
In the Action, we will obtain a reference
+to the entire set of JavaBeans that might have been plugged in. Then, we can
scroll through the set, displaying each
+JavaBean’s message.</p>
+
+<p><strong>MyAction.java</strong></p>
+
+<div class="language-java highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre
class="highlight"><code><span class="kn">package</span> <span
class="n">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span

+<span class="o">}</span>
+</code></pre></div></div>
+
+<p>As seen by the Action class code, it’s important to define a unique
interface for any beans that we plugin, so that
+we can identify our beans later.</p>
+
+<p>In the same way that we plugged in this JavaBean, we could also plugin and
configure Action classes, Interceptors,
+Results, or any other JAR-able resource that an application might utilize.</p>
+
+<h2 id="the-jsp">The JSP</h2>
+
+<p>Let’s do something with those plugins:</p>
+
+<p><strong>Page.jsp</strong></p>
+
+<pre><code class="language-jsp"><s:iterator id="plugin" value="plugins">
+ <s:property value="#plugin.saySomething()"/>
+</s:iterator>

+<p>Apache Struts 2 provides a simple <a href="plugins">plugin architecture</a>
so that developers can extend the framework just
by adding a JAR to the application’s classpath. Since plugins are contained in
a JAR, they are easy to share with others.
Several plugins are bundled with the framework, and others are available from
third-party sources.</p>
