Synopsis

Building web applications that are maintainable and extensible requires a significant amount of design and planning before even a single line of code can be written. However, by leveraging development frameworks, many of the challenges of web-based development can be overcome. This book acts as a roadmap to demonstrate how to use the Jakarta Struts framework to solve everyday web application development programs.Although Struts is rapidly becoming a de facto standard for Java web applications, it can only provide for part of your application. Therefore, this book concentrates not only on how to use Struts to develop the core architecture of a web application, but also on how to use other Jakarta projects to create a fully open source web application. It uses ObjectRelationalBridge to provide the O/R mapping for the data layer; Lucene to provide a search engine; Velocity to provide a template language for the user interface; and ANT is used to build the process together.
