Overview of Web Application Java Application = Desktop || Web || Mobile.
Web Application :
Generation data dynamically not just simple static htmlpages.
Having some forms or login page.
Example: Gmail, Youtube, Facebook and many more.
Web Application :
Simple Web Application.

Java Web Application - Servlet Servlet
A servlet is a small Java program that runs within a Webserver. Servlets receive and respond to requests from Webclients, usually across HTTP, the HyperText TransferProtocol.
Important methods: void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)

Java Web Application - JSP JSP [JavaServer Pages]
JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology allows you to easilycreate Web content that has both static and dynamiccomponents. JSP technology projects all the dynamiccapabilities of Java Servlet technology but provides amore natural approach to creating static content.

Java Web Application – Beans Javabean class is a type of java classes that is follow
some rules for methods and naming.
Major Rules of JavaBean class:
No-argument constructor.
The properties variables are private and accessed due theset and get methods.
The name of setter function is set followed by theproperty name but every first letter is upper case. (ex:setId() and getId()).
Setters and getters are public.
Getters have no parameter.
Setters have void return type. 35Prof. Vinod Pillai

Java Web Application – web.xml According to the Servlet 2.4 specification, every Web
application should include a deployment descriptor(web.xml file). This file must be placed in the WEB-INF/ directory of the Web application.
Be very careful when making modifications to this file(such as any additions or changes) because they willaffect all Web applications running.

MVC Architecture The MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture is a
way of decomposing an application into three parts:
Model
View
Controller.
Model : A model represents an application’s data andcontains the logic for accessing and manipulating thatdata. Any data that is part of the persistent state of theapplication should reside in the model objects.
40Prof. Vinod Pillai
![Page 41: Vinod Struts 2 Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042521/552ad8cc4a795980118b4593/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
MVC Architecture View: View represents the presentation of the
application. The view object refers to the model. It usesthe query methods of the model to obtain the contentsand renders it. The view modifies itself when a changein the model is communicated to the view.
Controller : Whenever the user sends a request forsomething then it always go through the controller. Thecontroller is responsible for intercepting the requestsfrom view and passes it to the model for the appropriateaction. After the action has been taken on the data, thecontroller is responsible for directing the appropriateview to the user.

Introduction Java Application = Desktop || Web || Mobile.
Struts 2= Apache Struts Web Framework.
Framework:
Peace of Software that Automates all tedioustask.
Use Design patterns commonly agreed byIndustry.
In built features that commonly needed by mostof project.

Jakarta Struts The Apache Struts web framework is a free open-
source solution for creating Java web applications.
Apache Struts was launched in May 2000, withversion 1.0 officially released in July 2001.
Why we need it?
Web applications based on JSP sometimes combinesdatabase code, page design code, and control flow code.
In practice, we find that unless these concerns areseparated, larger applications become difficult tomaintain.
50Prof. Vinod Pillai
![Page 51: Vinod Struts 2 Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042521/552ad8cc4a795980118b4593/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Jakarta Struts One way to separate concerns in a software
application => Model-View-Controller (MVC)architecture.
MVC
Model = Business or database code
View = Page design code
Controller = Navigational code.
Struts framework is designed to help developerscreate web applications that utilize a MVCarchitecture.
51Prof. Vinod Pillai
![Page 52: Vinod Struts 2 Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042521/552ad8cc4a795980118b4593/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Struts 2 Apache Struts Project offers two major versions:
Struts 1 is recognized as the most popular web applicationframework for Java.
Struts 2 was originally known as WebWork 2.WebWorkand Struts communities joined forces to create Struts 2.
Struts 2 is a pull-MVC framework. i.e. the data that is tobe displayed to user has to be pulled from the Action.
Action class in Struts 2 act as the model in the webapplication.
Unlike Struts, Struts 2 Action class are plain POJOobjects thus simplifying the testing of the code.
52Prof. Vinod Pillai
![Page 53: Vinod Struts 2 Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042521/552ad8cc4a795980118b4593/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Struts 2 Struts2 also comes with power APIs to configure
Interceptors that reduce greatly the coupling inapplication.
The view part of Struts 2 is highly configurable and itsupports different result-types such as Velocity,FreeMarker, JSP, etc.
53Prof. Vinod Pillai
![Page 54: Vinod Struts 2 Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042521/552ad8cc4a795980118b4593/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Struts 2 Architecture

Struts 2 Architecture1. Request is generated by user and sent to Servlet
container [web.xml].
2. Servlet container invokes FilterDispatcher filter which inturn transfer the call to [struts.xml] and finds theappropriate action .
3. One by one Intercetors are applied before calling theAction. Interceptors performs tasks such as Logging,Validation, File Upload, Double-submit guard etc.
4. Action is executed and the Result is generated by Actionif the state of Model is to be Change then do so.
55Prof. Vinod Pillai
![Page 56: Vinod Struts 2 Part 1](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042521/552ad8cc4a795980118b4593/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Struts 2 Architecture5. The output of Action is rendered in the view (JSP,
Velocity, etc) and the result is ready to returned to theuser.
6. The response passes through the interceptors in reverseorder to perform any clean-up or additional processing.
7. Now the Control is with [Servlet Engine] and the resultis rendered to the user.
