Overview
This book maps out how to employ the most widely used Apache Struts MVC Web framework. The authors take an application-centric approach: the development of an application drives the Struts along with Ajax coverage, rather than the other way around. Improper design can lead to long term dependencies on the Struts framework, which makes code re-use difficult. Here the authors helpfully discuss Struts from an anti-pattern perspective, in a chapter entitled What We Do Wrong: Web Antipatterns Explained. Other chapter titles include: Managing Business Logic with Struts; Architecting the Data Access Tier with ObjectRelationalBridge; Building Flexible Front-Ends with the Tiles Framework; Dynamic Forms using Ajax and the Struts Validator Framework; Speeding Struts Development with XDoclet, and Logging and Debugging. Appendices discuss JavaEdge setup, Struts development tools, and Apache Struts Ti/WebWork. The end result: you will learn to use Struts very effectively!
