Welcome to the Struts Framework! The goal of this project is to provide
an open source framework useful in building web applications with Java
Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology. Struts encourages
application architectures based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC)
design paradigm, colloquially known as Model 2 in discussions on
various servlet and JSP related mailing lists. Struts includes the
following primary areas of functionality: A controller servlet that
dispatches requests to appropriate Action classes provided by the
application developer. JSP custom tag libraries, and associated support
in the controller servlet, that assists developers in creating
interactive form-based applications. Utility classes to support XML
parsing, automatic population of JavaBeans properties based on the Java
reflection APIs, and internationalization of prompts and messages.
Struts is part of the Jakarta Project, sponsored by the Apache Software
Foundation.
