1. Introduction to the Apache Struts
   This lesson is an introduction to the Struts and its architecture.
       
2. MVC Architecture
   The main aim of the MVC architecture  is to separate the business logic and application data from the presentation data to the user.
       
3. Struts Architecture
   Struts is an open source framework used for developing J2EE web applications using Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern. It uses and extends the Java Servlet API to encourage developers to  adopt an MVC architecture.
     
4. How Struts Works?
   The basic purpose of the Java Servlets in struts is to handle requests made by the client or by web browsers. In struts JavaServerPages (JSP) are used to design the dynamic web pages. In struts, servlets helps to route request which has been made by the web browsers to the appropriate ServerPage.
     
5. Introduction to the Struts Controller
   This lesson is an introduction to Controller part of the Struts Framework.

7. Using Struts ActionFrom Class
   This shows how to create user interface form using struts ActionFrom class and jsp page.
       
8. Using Struts HTML Tags
   Section shows you the different types of Struts HTML Tags available for the development of views in JSP.
       
9. Introduction to Struts Validator Framework
   Struts Framework provides the functionality to validate the form data. It can be use to validate the data on the users browser as well as on the server side.
       
10. Client Side Address Validation in Struts
    In this lesson we will create JSP page for entering the address and use the functionality provided by Validator Framework to validate the user data on the browser.
        
11. Custom Validators Example
    In this tutorial you will learn how to develop Custom Validators in your Struts 1.3 applications. Struts Validator framework provides many validation rules that can be used in the web applications. If you application needs special kind of validation, then you can extend the validator framework to develop your own validation rule.
      
12. Developing Application with Struts Tiles
    In this lesson we will create Struts Tiles Applications.

14. Struts DynaActionForm
    In this lesson we will create Struts DynaActionForm.
       
15. Struts File Upload
    In this lesson we will create Struts File Upload program.
                         
16. Struts file upload and save on server
    In this tutorial you will learn how to use Struts program to upload on the Server and display a link to the user to download the uploaded file .
          
    Struts Actions Examples
                        
17. Struts Built-In Actions
    In this section we  will give a quick look to the  few of built-in utility actions shipped with Struts APIs. These built-in utility actions provide different functionalities useful to  diverse applications. 
                          
18. Struts Dispatch Action Example
    Here in this example you will learn more about Struts Dispatch Action that will help you grasping the concept better.
         
19. Struts Forward Action
    In this section we  will learn about Struts ForwardAction (org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction). The ForwardAction is one of the Built-in Actions that is shipped with struts framework.
        
20. Struts LookupDispatchAction Example
    Struts LookupDispatch Action (org.apache.struts.actions.LookupDispatchAction) is one of the Built-in Actions provided along with the struts framework.
       
21. Struts MappingDispatchAction Example
    Struts MappingDispatch Action (org.apache.struts.actions.MappingDispatchAction) is one of the Built-in Actions provided along with the struts framework.
      
22. STRUTS ACTION - AGGREGATING ACTIONS IN STRUTS
    In this article we will see how to achieve this. Struts provides four important classes for this
    purpose.    
         
23. Configuring Struts DataSource Manager on Tomcat 5
    In this lesson we will create example to Configure Struts DataSource Manager on Tomcat 5.
         
24. STRUTS INTERNATIONALIZATION
    In this tutorial we shall see how to implement Internationalization (abbreviated as I18N) in Struts.
                       
25. Developing Struts PlugIn
    This article show you how to develop custom Struts PlugIn and incorporate in your Struts Web Applications. After completing this tutorial you will be able to create your own custom PlugIn for your web application.
      
26. Struts Nested Tag
    The tag library is included in Struts 1.1. In this tutorial we are going to explain what are the features of nested tag library and how you can use it. We can manage nested beans easily with the help of struts nested tag library.
      
27. Struts Logic Tags Examples
    The Struts Logic tags provides the functionally that enables the programmers to generate html output based on different control statements like looping, iteration, if, else. etc..
       
    • Introduction to Struts Logic Tags
      Struts logic tags are conditional tags that replaces scriptlets in the jsp files.
       
    • Logic Empty and notEmpty Tags
      Tag evaluation of the nested body content occurs only if the specified value is either absent (i.e. null), an empty string (i.e. a java.lang.String with a length of zero)
        
    • Logic Equal and notEqual Tags
      if the requested variable is equal to the specified value then this tag is used to evaluate the contents contained in the nested body parts of this tag
        
    • Logic greaterEqual and greaterThan Tags
      This tag compares the variable against the specified constant value. If the variable is greater than or equal to the specified value then the nested body contents of this tag is evaluated
        
    • Logic lessEqual and lessThan Tags
      This tag compares the variable against the specified constant value. If the variable is less than or equal to the specified value then the nested body contents of this tag is evaluated
        
    • Logic match and notMatch Tags
      This tag matches the variable specified as a String against the specified constant value. If the value is a substring  then the nested body content of this tag is evaluated.
        
    • Logic present and notPresent Tags
      This tag checks the current request and depending on which attribute is specified, it evaluates the nested body content of this tag only if the specified value is present.
