Struts addresses many major issues in using vanilla Servlets/JSP to build web systems.
What you'll learn
Struts addresses many major issues in using vanilla Servlets/JSP to
build web systems. It solves the problem of controller complexity by
removing the workflow logic from the Servlets, and directing workflow in
an XML configuration file. Struts improves on the limited form support
in JSP by adding numerous capabilities to form processing including easy
validation, easy error display, and the refilling of form input on form
retries from a users previous entries. It minimizes the complexity of
JSP pages, by integrating with the JSTL tag library, and additionally
supplying a very extensive and flexible set of custom tag libraries for
many of the standard operations needed in JSP pages. This course will
get you up to speed with Struts in a very short time. It includes all
the important concepts, and hands on labs that will have you building
working Struts applications in no time flat. In addition, this course
covers how to extend the Struts framework to fit your unique needs. All
labs are done using the RAD Development Environment, and the lab
instructions include detailed directions on using RAD and the RAD
wizards and tools.
