What is Struts?
Struts, from the Jakarta Project, is a development framework for Java servlet applications based upon the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm.
Struts is comprised of a controller servlet, beans and other Java classes,
configuration files, and tag libraries. This means that when you have downloaded
Struts you have available:
>>a controller for your application
(the Struts servlet acts as a common controller for the whole application)
>>a collection of Java beans and other helper
classes that you use in the "Model" part of your application
>>a collection of tag libraries used in your jsp-pages
To glue these things together Struts uses a set of configuration files.
Together this gives you the skeleton that you can use to "strut" your application.
