Research Of Web Layer Development Based On Struts Framework

With the widely use of the World Wide Web and the web browser, Browser/Servertechnology has become the main solution to develop enterprise applications.Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) designed by Sun Microsystems, is theindustry-standard platform architecture for developing, deploying, integrating, andmanaging Web services-enabled multi-tier enterprise applications. The JSP technology,which is one important part of J2EE, is widely used in Web layer development. However,if only JSP technology is used in Web application development, the business logic wouldbe mixed together with the presentation logic, which results in low reusable degree of theprogram, makes maintenance tedious and difficult, and brings weak adaptability tochanges. This problem, can be solved by using Struts framework, which implements theMVC design pattern.This thesis mainly studied developing web applications with Struts framework.Struts combined the advantage of JSP and Servlet by carrying out MVC pattern. UsingStruts, we can separate business logic from presentation logic to improve the flexibilityand expansibility of enterprise applications. This thesis studied and analyzed the maincomponents and the MVC way of Struts in detail. Additionally, problems of processingChinese word and double form submissions have been reformed.An on-line shopping system is designed, and developed based on Struts framework.The content of this thesis can be used as a reference to develop the same kind projects.
