Description: This hands-on course provides participants with the knowledge and experience necessary to develop and deploy large, robust and complex Java web applications utilizing the Apache Struts 1 framework. The Apache Software Foundation has provided numerous open-source tools, which set the standard for web application development. These include the Apache web server and the Tomcat Servlet Container. Apache Struts 1 provides a flexible controller layer for JSP-based applications, with significant facilites for validation, internationalization and page layout. Struts is an implementation of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, a recommended architectural design pattern for interactive applications. The Struts controller is based on standardized technologies including Servlets, JSP Pages, Tag libraries, JavaBeans and XML. Students will learn how to use the Struts framework to write, assemble, configure and deploy complex web applications. Comprehensive hands-on lab exercises reinforce instructor lectures and build direct competence in the topics presented throughout the course.

This course assumes that students possess a thorough knowledge of how to use Servlets, Java Server Pages, Tag Libraries, ANT and JDBC to exploit the services of the Java EE platform.

Students who do not already have this knowledge should take the five-day course Java EE Web Application Development with Apache Struts 1 rather than this course.

Prerequisites: Java programming experience and an understanding of object-oriented design principles. Thorough knowledge of the use and deployment of Servlets, JSPs, Tag libraries and JDBC.
