Introduction

KidsingradeschoolputHTMLpagesontheInternet.However,thereisamonumentaldifferencebetweenagradeschoolpageandaprofessionallydevelopedWebsite.Thepagedesigner（orHTMLdeveloper）mustunderstandcolors,thecustomer,productflow,pagelayout,browsercompatibility,imagecreation,JavaScript,andmore.Puttingagreatlookingsitetogethertakesalotofwork,andmostJavadevelopersaremoreinterestedincreatingagreatlookingobjectinterfacethanauserinterface.JavaServerPages（JSP）technologyprovidesthegluebetweenthepagedesignerandtheJavadeveloper.

Ifyouhaveworkedonalarge-scaleWebapplication,youunderstandthetermchange.Model-View-Controller（MVC）isadesignpatternputtogethertohelpcontrolchange.MVCdecouplesinterfacefrombusinesslogicanddata.StrutsisanMVCimplementationthatusesServlets2.2andJSP1.1tags,fromtheJ2EEspecifications,aspartoftheimplementation.YoumayneverimplementasystemwithStruts,butlookingatStrutsmaygiveyousomeideasonyourfutureServletsandJSPimplementations.

Model-View-Controller（MVC）

JSPtagssolvedonlypartofourproblem.Westillhaveissueswithvalidation,flowcontrol,andupdatingthestateoftheapplication.ThisiswhereMVCcomestotherescue.MVChelpsresolvesomeoftheissueswiththesinglemoduleapproachbydividingtheproblemintothreecategories:

∙Model

Themodelcontainsthecoreoftheapplication'sfunctionality.Themodelencapsulatesthestateoftheapplication.Sometimestheonlyfunctionalityitcontainsisstate.Itknowsnothingaboutthevieworcontroller.

∙View

∙Theviewprovidesthepresentationofthemodel.Itisthelookoftheapplication.Theviewcanaccessthemodelgetters,butithasnoknowledgeofthesetters.Inaddition,itknowsnothingaboutthecontroller.Theviewshouldbenotifiedwhenchangestothemodeloccur.Controller

MVCModel2

TheWebbroughtsomeuniquechallengestosoftwaredevelopers,mostnotablythestatelessconnectionbetweentheclientandtheserver.Thisstatelessbehaviormadeitdifficultforthemodeltonotifytheviewofchanges.OntheWeb,thebrowserhastore-querytheservertodiscovermodificationtothestateoftheapplication.

Anothernoticeablechangeisthattheviewusesdifferenttechnologyforimplementationthanthemodelorcontroller.Ofcourse,wecoulduseJava（orPERL,C/C++orwhatever）codetogenerateHTML.Thereareseveraldisadvantagestothatapproach:

∙Javaprogrammersshoulddevelopservices,notHTML.

∙Changestolayoutwouldrequirechangestocode.

∙Customersoftheserviceshouldbeabletocreatepagestomeettheirspecificneeds.

∙Thepagedesignerisn'tabletohavedirectinvolvementinpagedevelopment.

∙HTMLembeddedintocodeisugly.

∙View

∙TheJavadeveloperdoesnotneedtorecompilecodewhenmakingflowchanges.

TheActionFormclass

ActionFormmaintainsthesessionstatefortheWebapplication.ActionFormisanabstractclassthatissub-classedforeachinputformmodel.WhenIsayinputformmodel,IamsayingActionFormrepresentsageneralconceptofdatathatissetorupdatedbyaHTMLform.Forinstance,youmayhaveaUserActionFormthatissetbyanHTMLForm.TheStrutsframeworkwill:

∙ChecktoseeifaUserActionFormexists;ifnot,itwillcreateaninstanceoftheclass.

∙StrutswillsetthestateoftheUserActionFormusingcorrespondingfieldsfromtheHttpServletRequest.Nomoredreadfulrequest.getParameter（）calls.Forinstance,theStrutsframeworkwilltakefnamefromrequeststreamandcallUserActionForm.setFname（）.

∙TheStrutsframeworkupdatesthestateoftheUserActionFormbeforepassingittothebusinesswrapperUserAction.

∙BeforepassingittotheActionclass,Strutswillalsoconductformstatevalidationbycallingthevalidation（）methodonUserActionForm.Note:

TheActionclass
