Apache Struts

Struts is the most used Java Web Application Framework. During this VTC course, you will create MVC-based Java web applications using Struts. You will learn how to implement best practices in web application development through the use of the Struts architecture. Author David Saenz will demonstrate how to develop and deploy applications to the Struts architecture using the JSP tag libraries to declaratively create pages with minimal coding. He will show you how to use internationalization (il8n) to communicate globally, validate user input efficiently, and implement various security techniques to secure your application. This course also covers Struts 2 MVC framework for creating elegant, modern Java web applications; it favors convention over configuration, is extensible using a plugin architecture, and ships with plugins to support REST, AJAX, and JSON.
