The Apache Struts web framework is a free open-source solution for creating Java web applications. The Struts framework is designed to help developers create web applications that utilize a MVC architecture.
The framework provides three key components:
A "request" handler provided by the application developer that is mapped to a standard URI. A "response" handler that transfers control to another resource which completes the response. A tag library that helps developers create interactive form-based applications with server pages.
The Apache Struts Project offered two major versions of the Struts framework. Struts 1 has reached end of life, and Struts 2 is still under active development. Struts 1 was extremely popular in it's time, and has had significant influence on more modern frameworks such as Struts 2 and SpringMVC.
Struts 1 had its last release in December 2008.
