12.1 Struts overview Struts is an open source framework for building Web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern (see 2.3.3, “MVC architectural pattern” on page 28). Struts is part of the Jakarta project, sponsored by the Apache Software Foundation. For reference, see: 12.1.1 Why we use Struts http://jakarta.apache.org/struts http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/introduction.html Note: WebSphere Application Server - Express includes support for Struts V1.02 and V1.1. The Struts open source framework was created to make it easier for developers to build J2EE Web applications. Like a building, a Web application must have a solid foundation from which the rest of the structure can grow. Using Struts as the foundation allows developers to concentrate on building the business application rather than on the infrastructure. The Struts framework has gained considerable attention because of its ease of use and ability to fit the needs of today’s developers in building applications fast. Struts combines servlets, JSPs, custom tags and message resources into a unified infrastructure and saves the developer the time it takes to code an entire MVC model, which is a considerable task. The model 2 approach is concerned with separating responsibilities in Web applications. Application development and maintenance are much easier if the different components of a Web application have clear and distinct responsibilities. As an example, consider an appliance with which you are certainly familiar: a television set. You will probably agree that changing TV channels is quite a simple task. Now ask yourself these questions: ► Do you know how the television set represents channels internally? ► Do you know exactly what goes on when you change TV channels? ► Do you think you should know these things? Chances are that you have answered no to all of the questions above. What is the advantage of you not knowing how TVs represent their data and implement their operations? You could buy a new TV, which does these things internally in a completely different way, and you could still change channels. 384 IBM WebSphere Application Server - Express V5.0.2 Developer Handbook
12.1.2 Struts framework True to the MVC design pattern, Struts applications have three major components: a servlet (the controller), JSPs (the view), and the application's business logic (the model). Struts model component Struts does not define its own model component. In a Web application (and a Struts application), most of the model (the business logic) can be represented using Java beans or EJBs. Access to the business logic is through Struts action objects (classes that subclass org.apache.struts.action.Action). The action object can handle the request and respond to the client (usually a Web browser), or indicate that control should be forwarded to another action. For example, if a login succeeds, a loginAction object may want to forward control to a mainMenu action. Action objects are linked to the application controller, and so have access to the methods of the servlet. When forwarding control, an object can indirectly forward one or more shared objects, including Java beans, by placing them in one of the standard collections shared by servlets. An action object can, for instance, create a shopping cart bean, add an item to the cart, place the bean in the session collection, and then forward control to another action, which may use a JSP to display the contents of the user's cart. Because each client has its own session, each also has its own shopping cart. Struts view component In general, a view represents a display of the domain model in a user interface. The view in a Struts application is made up of various components. JSPs are the main component. JSPs, of course, are not Struts components. However, Struts provides additional components that can be used by or with JSPs: ► Form beans ► Custom tags ► HTML documents Form beans A form bean is an instance of the org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm class subclass that stores HTML or JSP form data from a submitted client request or input data from a link that a user has clicked. A form bean is a type of Java bean. An HTML or JSP form comprises fields in which the user can enter information. Chapter 12. Using Struts 385
