Struts-based portal applications

Model and develop them with WebSphere Studio

Jeff K. Wilson (wilsonje@us.ibm.com), E-business Architect, IBM
Jeff Wilson, a self-proclaimed dot-com refugee, has for the past three years been an e-business architect for the DragonSlayers, IBM's developer relations technical consulting team in Austin, Texas. It is their goal to excite, evangelize, educate, and enable developers on the latest tools and technologies available. Jeff welcomes any and all questions, comments, recipes, insider stock tips, cash, prizes, and any good juicy gossip.

Summary:  Struts is a very popular framework that adds a flexible control layer to building Web based applications using common standard technologies like servlets, JavaBeans components, resource bundles, and custom tag libraries. This tutorial provides a hands-on approach to developing Struts based portal applications using WebSphere Studio V5.1.2 and the Portal Toolkit V5.0.2.2.

Summary

In this tutorial, you took a look at the tip of the iceberg -- but still the core -- of implementing a Struts-based framework into a portal application. You obviously could do a lot more interesting work, as you would have noticed by all the other components you could have added. Additionally, you could have built a system that was far more complex -- as most real-world systems would end up being.

What was covered here described preparing the application, developing the primary components, and setting up some simple flow examples. Any Struts-based portal application would begin from this point and certainly could become far more complex as needed.
