JSPAPPLICATIONFRAMEWORKS
1.1WHATAREAPPLICATIONFRAMEWORKS:
Aframeworkisareusable,semi-completeapplicationthatcanbespecializedtoproducecustomapplications[Johnson].Likepeople,softwareapplicationsaremorealikethantheyaredifferent.Theyrunonthesamecomputers,expectinputfromthesamedevices,outputtothesamedisplays,andsavedatatothesameharddisks.Developersworkingonconventionaldesktopapplicationsareaccustomedtotoolkitsanddevelopmentenvironmentsthatleveragethesamenessbetweenapplications.Applicationframeworksbuildonthiscommongroundtoprovidedeveloperswithareusablestructurethatcanserveasthefoundationfortheirownproducts.
Aframeworkprovidesdeveloperswithasetofbackbonecomponentsthathavethefollowingcharacteristics:
Frameworksaretheclassicbuild-versus-buyproposition.Ifyoubuildit,youwillunderstanditwhenyouaredone—buthowlongwillitbebeforeyoucanrollyourown?
Ifyoubuyit,youwillhavetoclimbthelearningcurve—andhowlongisthatgoingtotake?

1.2OTHERTYPESOFFRAMEWORKS:
Theideaofaframeworkappliesnotonlytoapplicationsbuttoapplicationcomponentsaswell.Throughoutthisarticle,weintroduceothertypesofframeworksthatyoucanusewithStruts.TheseincludetheLucenesearchengine,theScaffoldtoolkit,theStrutsvalidator,andtheTilestaglibrary.Likeapplicationframeworks,thesetoolsprovidesemi-completeversionsofasubsystemthatcanbespecializedtoprovideacustomcomponent.

1.4HYPERTEXTTRANSFERPROTOCOL(HTTP):
Whenmediatingtalksbetweennations,diplomatsoftenfollowaformalprotocol.
Diplomaticprotocolsaredesignedtoavoidmisunderstandingsandtokeepnegotiationsfrombreakingdown.Inasimilarvein,whencomputersneedtotalk,theyalsofollowaformalprotocol.Theprotocoldefineshowdataistransmittedandhowtodecodeitonceitarrives.WebapplicationsusetheHypertextTransferProtocol(HTTP)tomovedatabetweenthebrowserrunningonyourcomputerandtheapplicationrunningontheserver.
ManyserverapplicationscommunicateusingprotocolsotherthanHTTP.Someofthesemaintainanongoingconnectionbetweenthecomputers.Theapplicationserverknowsexactlywhoisconnectedatalltimesandcantellwhenaconnectionisdropped.Becausetheyknowthestateofeachconnectionandtheidentityofeachpersonusingit,theseareknownasstatefulprotocols.
Bycontrast,HTTPisknownasastatelessprotocol.AnHTTPserverwillacceptanyrequestfromanyclientandwillalwaysprovidesometypeofresponse,eveniftheresponseisjusttosayno.Withouttheoverheadofnegotiatingandretainingaconnection,statelessprotocolscanhandlealargevolumeofrequests.ThisisonereasonwhytheInternethasbeenabletoscaletomillionsofcomputers.
AnotherreasonHTTPhasbecometheuniversalstandardisitssimplicity.AnHTTPrequestlookslikeanordinarytextdocument.ThishasmadeiteasyforapplicationstomakeHTTPrequests.YoucanevensendanHTTPrequestbyhandusingastandardutilitysuchasTelnet.WhentheHTTPresponsecomesback,itisalsoinplaintextthatdeveloperscanread.
ThefirstlineintheHTTPrequestcontainsthemethod,followedbythelocationoftherequestedresourceandtheversionofHTTP.ZeroormoreHTTPrequestheadersfollowtheinitialline.TheHTTPheadersprovideadditionalinformationtotheserver.Thiscanincludethebrowsertypeandversion,acceptabledocumenttypes,andthebrowser’scookies,justtonameafew.Ofthesevenrequestmethods,GETandPOSTarebyfarthemostpopular.
Oncetheserverhasreceivedandservicedtherequest,itwillissueanHTTPresponse.ThefirstlineintheresponseiscalledthestatuslineandcarriestheHTTPprotocolversion,anumericstatus,andabriefdescriptionofthestatus.Followingthestatusline,theserverwillreturnasetofHTTPresponseheadersthatworkinawaysimilartotherequestheaders.
Aswementioned,HTTPdoesnotpreservestateinformationbetweenrequests.Theserverlogstherequest,sendstheresponse,andgoesblissfullyontothenextrequest.Whilesimpleandefficient,astatelessprotocolisproblematicfordynamicapplicationsthatneedtokeeptrackoftheirusers.
CookiesandURLrewritingaretwocommonwaystokeeptrackofusersbetweenrequests.Acookieisaspecialpacketofinformationontheuser’scomputer.URLrewritingstoresaspecialreferenceinthepageaddressthataJavaservercanusetotrackusers.Bothapproachesareseamless,andusingeithermeansextraworkwhendevelopingawebapplication.Onitsown,astandardHTTPwebserverdoesnottrafficindynamiccontent.Itmainlyusestherequesttolocateafileandthenreturnsthatfileintheresponse.ThefileistypicallyformattedusingHypertextMarkupLanguage(HTML)[W3C,HTML]thatthewebbrowsercanformatanddisplay.TheHTMLpageoftenincludeshypertextlinkstootherwebpagesandmaydisplayanynumberofothergoodies,suchasimagesandvideos.Theuserclicksalinktomakeanotherrequest,andtheprocessbeginsanew.
Standardwebservershandlestaticcontentandimagesquitewellbutneedahelpinghandtoprovideuserswithacustomized,dynamicresponse.
DEFINITION:
StaticcontentontheWebcomesdirectlyfromtextordatafiles,likeHTMLorJPEGfiles.Thesefilesmightbechangedfromtimetotime,buttheyarenotalteredautomaticallywhenrequestedbyawebbrowser.Dynamiccontent,ontheotherhand,isgeneratedonthefly,typicallyinresponsetoanindividualizedrequestfromabrowser.
1.5COMMONGATEWAYINTERFACE(CGI):
ThefirstwidelyusedstandardforproducingdynamiccontentwastheCommonGatewayInterface(CGI).CGIusesstandardoperatingsystemfeatures,suchasenvironmentvariablesandstandardinputandoutput,tocreateabridge,orgateway,betweenthewebserverandotherapplicationsonthehostmachine.Theotherapplicationscanlookattherequestsenttothembythewebserverandcreateacustomizedresponse.
Whenawebserverreceivesarequestthat’sintendedforaCGIprogram,itrunsthatprogramandprovidestheprogramwithinformationfromtheincomingrequest.TheCGIprogramrunsandsendsitsoutputbacktotheserver.Thewebserverthenrelaystheresponsetothebrowser.
CGIdefinesasetofconventionsregardingwhatinformationitwillpassasenvironmentvariablesandhowitexpectsstandardinputandoutputtobeused.LikeHTTP,CGIisflexibleandeasytoimplement,andagreatnumberofCGI-awareprogramshavebeenwritten.
ThemaindrawbacktoCGIisthatitmustrunanewcopyoftheCGI-awareprogramforeachrequest.Thisisarelativelyexpensiveprocessthatcanbogdownhigh-volumesiteswherethousandsofrequestsareservicedperminute.AnotherdrawbackisthatCGIprogramstendtobeplatformdependent.ACGIprogramwrittenforoneoperatingsystemmaynotrunonanother.
1.6JAVASERVLETS:
Sun’sJavaServletplatformdirectlyaddressesthetwomaindrawbacksofCGIprograms.First,servletsofferbetterperformanceandutilizationofresourcesthanconventionalCGIprograms.Second,thewrite-once,run-anywherenatureofJavameansthatservletsareportablebetweenoperatingsystemsthathaveaJavaVirtualMachine(JVM).
AServletlooksandfeelslikeaminiaturewebserver.Itreceivesarequestandrendersaresponse.But,unlikeconventionalwebservers,theServletapplicationprogramminginterface(API)isspecificallydesignedtohelpJavadeveloperscreatedynamicapplications.
TheServletitselfissimplyaJavaclassthathasbeencompiledintobytecode,likeanyotherJavaobject.TheServlethasaccesstoarichAPIofHTTP-specificservices,butitisstilljustanotherJavaobjectrunninginanapplicationandcanleverageallyourotherJavaassets.
Togiveconventionalwebserversaccesstoservlets,theservletsarepluggedintocontainers.TheServletcontainerisattachedtothewebserver.EachServletcandeclarewhatURLpatternsitwouldliketohandle.Whenarequestmatchingaregisteredpatternarrives,thewebserverpassestherequesttothecontainer,andthecontainerinvokestheServlet.
ButunlikeCGIprograms,anewServletisnotcreatedforeachrequest.OncethecontainerinstantiatestheServlet,itwilljustcreateanewthreadforeachrequest.JavathreadsaremuchlessexpensivethantheserverprocessesusedbyCGIprograms.OncetheServlethasbeencreated,usingitforadditionalrequestsincursverylittleoverhead.Servletdeveloperscanusetheinit()methodtoholdreferencestoexpensiveresources,suchasdatabaseconnectionsorEJBHomeInt
