Hi friends,

This is a demo for basic example of struts framework implementation in NetBeans IDE.

It is helpful to the developers who are looking for basic struts implementation. I have a step by step procedure with screen shots.

Have a look.

I) Create a project. File -> New Project

II) Give the project name and add the server. If server is not configured already then add the server like this

Tools -> servers ->

"add server"

Add the server if server is configured to the new project.

Click finish button

III)

Create a folder called “form” in “web pages” in the project

Create jsps welcomeStruts .jsp , succ.jsp and fail.jsp.

Creating welcomeStruts.jsp

Code:

<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-logic" prefix="logic" %>

<html:html locale="true">
<body>

   <html:form action="/register">

        User Name <html:text property="userName"/>
        Password <html:password property="password"/>
        <html:submit/>

</html:form>

</body>
</html:html>

Creating succ.jsp

Creating fail.jsp

Creating Action form bean class

Right click on the package and select new action form bean class

Select those fields and right click on it. You can find like this.

Click “select all” and refactor button to get getters and setters.

Now Action form bean is like this

Creating Action class

Click Next

Click “Finish”

Type the action code like this. This

If u hit . (dot) after the object it will show auto suggested methods like

Final action class is code

package com.myapp.struts;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.apache.struts.action.Action;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;

public class registerAction extends org.apache.struts.action.Action

{

private final static String SUCCESS = "success";

public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,

HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)

throws Exception {

registerForm rf=(registerForm)form;

String username=rf.getUserName();

String password=rf.getPassword();

if(username.equals("sowjiavi") || password.equals("sowjiavi"))

{

return mapping.findForward(SUCCESS);

}else

return mapping.findForward("fail");

}

Struts-Config.xml

Step 1: Open the struts-config .xml file

Step 2: Add following content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
           <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
                  "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.2//EN"
               "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd">

<struts-config>
    <form-beans>
       <form-bean name="registerForm" type="com.myapp.struts.registerForm"/>
    </form-beans>

<action-mappings>

   <action input="/" name="registerForm" path="/register" scope="session" type="com.myapp.struts.registerAction">
      <forward name="success" path="/form/succ.jsp"/>
<forward name="fail" path="/form/fail.jsp"/>
     </action>

    </action-mappings>

</struts-config>

Then your struts-config.xml file look like this

web.xml

Step 1: Open web.xml file

Step 2: Modify the file like this.

Web.xml code is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
           <param-name>config</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
       </init-param>
         <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
       <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>/form/welcomeStruts.jsp</welcome-file>
        </welcome-file-list>
   </web-app>

My directory structure is
