Introduction to Java Struts

Course Number: 560-JK
Recommended Duration: 3 days

Intended Audience: Java JSP and Servlet developers who will be using the Apache Struts framework.

Course Overview

Java programmers learn to use create and deploy Servlets and Java Server Pages (JSPs). Eleven computer exercises will be conducted to emphasize major course topics. Exercises may be performed using available IDE (Eclipse, IBM RAD, Oracle JDeveloper) or command-line tools. The local test Java EE application server will be used; or an appropriate environment can be created for the course.

Objectives

JSP and Servlet developers learn to create MVC (Model-View Controller) or Model-2 Web applications using the Apache Struts framework. Students first learn the Struts architecture, then build Struts applications using: actions, action mappings, form beans, and request forwarding. The advantages of declarative coding via XML are explored. Finally, students will construct presentations using Struts HTML tags and Tiles.
