The Apache Struts web framework is a free open-source solution for creating Java web applications.The Struts framework is designed to help developers create web applications that utilize a MVC architecture.
The framework provides three key components:
- A “request” handler provided by the application developer that is mapped to a standard URI.
- A “response” handler that transfers control to another resource which completes the response.
- A tag library that helps developers create interactive form-based applications with server pages.
The framework’s architecture and tags are buzzword compliant. Struts works well with conventional REST applications and with nouveau technologies like SOAP and AJAX.
