One way to separate concerns in a software application is to use a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. The Model

the navigational code. The Struts framework is designed to help developers create web applications that utilize

The framework provides three key components:
A “request” handler provided by the application developer that is mapped to a standard URI. A “response” handler that
transfers control to another resource which completes the response. A tag library that helps developers create interactive

Access to Source Code doesn’t mean it is free. With Apache Struts, you are not only free to “do what you want with it”,
you can even contribute (which is not always the case). And best of it: you can become a part of the core team too.

It is usually very easy to integrate other technologies with Apache Struts. If you are using an ORM like Apache Cayenne,
Hibernate or JDBC you will not have any restrictions. Apache Struts is not even tied too much to a frontend technology.

perfectly acceptable to build upon a Request/Response cycle. We also think the MVC pattern is not so bad, just because
it is old. In fact, we believe the Apache Struts architecture is clean and easy to understand.
Of course, if you wish to build components on the server side which render on the front end side, you are most likely

Of course, if you wish to build components on the server side which render on the front end side, you will most likely
not want Struts. This is a different approach which promises to reduce the amount of HTML/JavaScript knowledge needed
and to create reusable components for the view layer. Projects like Wicket and Tapestry serve this purpose very well.
As with every framework you need to decide if it makes sense for you to build components or if you are better with
the Struts-approach.
