Struts are a framework upon which to build web applications
consisting of several related technologies: JSP, Servlets,
XML, and custom tags. This course teaches the basics of
Struts as well as more complex usage and configuration of
Struts, based on the Struts 1.1 framework.
An understanding of the architecture, design, and implementation
of the Struts framework is achieved through detailed explanation
followed by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the use
of each major Struts component. The major components of
the Struts framework include Actions, ActionForms, and ActionMappings.
Additional topics include: configuring, testing and deploying
Struts applications, the Validator framework, Tiles or templates,
and the Digester package which is a simplified XML processor
for use with Struts.
