Struts is a small framework for building web applications that uses the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern commonly known as "Model 2". It includes the following key features: * A controller servlet with action mapping technology, which serves as the "front component" for the application. * A comprehensive custom tag library for building internationalized JSP pages that interact with JavaBeans managed automatically by the controller servlet. * Useful utility classes that can process XML input, as well as use Java reflection to populate JavaBean properties by matching names in the same way that does for JSP pages. Struts will serve as a platform for exploring the optimum approaches to implementing the "Model 2" design pattern, and will run on any servlet container that supports the Servlet Specification, version 2.2 or later, and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) Specification, version 1.1 or later (such as Tomcat). It is also supported by developer and user mailing lists, with subscription information available at http://jakarta.apache.org/getinvolved/mail.html. Nightly distributions of Struts (which includes both the source code and the compiled libraries) are available at http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/struts/nightly/. Craig McClanahan
