F5 Framework : Struts PDF Print E-mail

Apache Struts is an open-source web application framework for developing Java EE web applications. It uses and extends the Java ServletAPI to encourage developers to adopt a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture .

F5 Framework consultants have developed projects for Govt of Malaysia, Ireland as well as Victoria - Australia by using Struts Framework.

  • Build!
    • Easy startup - Jumpstart new projects with our bootstrap tutorial and template application or Maven archetype.
    • Improved Design - Code clean against HTTP-independant framework interfaces.
    • Enhanced Tags - Code less with stylesheet-driven form tags that provide their own markup.
    • Stateful Checkboxes - Avoid special handling with smart checkboxes that know when they are toggled.
    • Flexible Cancel Buttons - Go directly to a different action on cancel.
    • First-class AJAX support - Add interactivity and flexibility with AJAX tags that look and feel just like standard Struts tags.
    • Easy Spring integration - Inject dependencies into Actions using Spring without glue code or red tape. (Plexus support also available.)
    • Enhanced Results - Do more with speciality results for JasperReports, JFreeChart, Action chaining, and file downloading.
    • POJO forms - No more ActionForms! Use any JavaBean to capture form input or put properties directly on an Action class. Use both binary and String properties!
    • POJO Actions - Use any class as an Action class -- even the interface is optional!
  • Deploy!
    • Easy plugins - Add framework extensions by dropping in a JAR. No manual configuration required! Bundled plugins add support for JavaServer Faces, JasperReports, JFreeChart, Tiles, and more ...
    • Integrated profiling - Peek inside Struts2 to find where the cycles are going!
    • Precise Error Reporting - Flip directly to the location and line of an error.
  • Maintain!
    • Easy-to-test Actions - Test Struts2 Actions directly, without resorting to mock HTTP objects.
    • Intelligent Defaults - Skip obvious and redundant settings. Most framework configuration elements have a default value that we can set and forget. Say it once!
    • Easy-to-customize controller - Customize the request handling per action, if desired. Struts2 only does what you want it to do!
    • Integrating Debugging - Research problem reports with built-in debugging tools.
    • Easy-to-tweak tags - Customize tag markup by editing a FreeMarker template. No need to grok the taglib API! JSP, FreeMarker, and Velocity tags are fully supported.
