Creating Struts 1.3.8 Project using NetBeans IDE

Title: Creating Struts 1.3.8 Project using NetBeans IDE

What Is the Struts Framework?

The Struts Framework is a standard for developing well-architected Web applications. It has the following features:

• Open source
• Based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm, distinctly separating all three levels:
1. Model: application state
2. View: presentation of data (JSP, HTML)
3. Controller: routing of the application flow
• Implements the JSP Model 2 Architecture
• Stores application routing information and request mapping in a single core file, struts-config.xml

Benefits of the Struts Framework

There are literally hundreds of web development frameworks available, each sharing some similarities while providing their own twist on what a web framework should be. Many of these frameworks have been around several years and have positives and negatives associated with them. While the Struts framework is not completely unique, it provides some key benefits:

• Based on a Model 2 MVC implementation.
• Supports Java's "Write Once, Run Anywhere" philosophy.
• Supports different model implementations (JavaBeans, EJB, etc.).
• Support for internationalization (I18N).
• Includes a rich set of JSP tag libraries.
• Contains many extension points for customization.
• Supports different presentation implementations (JSP, XML/XSLT, JavaServer Faces).

Demo Description:

The demo briefly describes the process to create struts 1.3.8 using Net beans. The Struts Frame work has View for jsp/html pages, Model for StrutsActionForm for Bean and StrutsAction for Action and Controller for struts-config.xml.
