Form Based Strut Application
Aim
To write a java program for struts to implement simple form based application.
Algorithm
Step1 : Create the index.jsp file which contains the struts based form fields with
corresponding label.
Step2 : index.jsp form redirect to the product.java file when user click the submit button
Step3 : The product.java file will get the textfield values and set the values using
userdefined methods as getId,getName,getPrice and setId,setName,setPrice
and returns the success string using execute() method.
Step4 : Map the request in (struts.xml) file and define the view components
Step5 : After sucessful Mapping the action(Product.java) file it will invoke the
Welcome.jsp file.
Step6 : Create a view components(Welcome.jsp) it will displays the information of the
action.
Step7 : Create the web.xml file for entry controller for mapping the strut project.
Execution Procedure
Step1 : install the Apache tomcat 6.0 web server
Step2 : copy the strut project folder into webapps where the server folder is located.
Step3 : copy the web-inf folder from ROOT directory and pasted into your project folder.
Step4 : In WEB-INF folder create the classes folder->com->javatpoint->pasted into
Product.class file because we have used a package in action class is
com.javatpoint.
✓ Paste the struts.xml file in classes folder.
✓ Create a lib folder and load the struts framework jar files
Step5 : Start the server and open the webrowser paste the link
http://localhost:8080/strut/index.jsp
Index.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="s" %>
<s:form action="product">
<s:textfield name="id" label="Product Id"></s:textfield>
<s:textfield name="name" label="Product Name"></s:textfield>
<s:textfield name="price" label="Product Price"></s:textfield>
