Introduction


The popularity of the Struts framework has grown tremendously in the last year. Since the release of Struts 1.1 in June 2003, Struts has become one of the most popular frameworks for developing complex JSP-based web applications. Traffic on the Strut's user's mailing list is heavy, typically 70 messages a day.

Despite its popularity, figuring out how to get started developing with Struts is still a common topic of conversation. The recipes in this first chapter should help you jump-start your development with Struts.

Good commercial tools have been built around Struts, the primary focus here is on tools and frameworks that are open source and free (as in "free beer"). By focusing on freely available tools, developers should be more encouraged to experiment with these tools than if they had to pay to use them.
