Struts Hello World Example in Eclipse 06.13.2012 · File Source : http://www./tutorials/java/struts/struts-tutorial/struts-tutorial-using-eclipse-1.html In this tutorial you will learn how to create a Struts hello world application in eclipse. First create a new project, go to File->New and select DynamicWebProject. Enter the project name and click the Finish button. ![]() Add the following jar files to the
WEB-INF\lib directory.
![]() Right click the src folder and
select New->Package. ![]() Enter the package name as com.vaannila.form and click Finish. Now right click the newly created
package and select New->Class. ![]() Enter the class name as HelloWorldForm and the superclass name asorg.apache.struts.action.ActionForm and click Finish. ![]() In the HelloWorldForm class add the
following code. 01.package com.vaannila.form; 02. 03.import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm; 04. 05.public class HelloWorldForm extends ActionForm { 06. 07.private static final long serialVersionUID = -473562596852452021L; 08. 09.private String message; 10. 11.public String getMessage() { 12.return message; 13.} 14. 15.public void setMessage(String message) { 16.this.message = message; 17.} 18.} In the same way create a new
package com.vaannila.action and create a HelloWorldAction class extending org.apache.struts.action.Action. Add the following code to the
action class and save it.
01.package com.vaannila.action; 02. 03.import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; 04.import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; 05. 06.import org.apache.struts.action.Action; 07.import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm; 08.import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward; 09.import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping; 10. 11.import com.vaannila.form.HelloWorldForm; 12. 13.public class HelloWorldAction extends Action { 14. 15.@Override 16.public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm
form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throwsException { 17.HelloWorldForm hwForm = (HelloWorldForm) form; 18.hwForm.setMessage("Hello World"); 19.return mapping.findForward("success"); 20.} 21.} Here we typecast the ActionForm to HelloWorldForm and set the message value. Add the following entries in the struts-config.xml file.
01.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 02. 03.<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC 04."-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts
Configuration 1.3//EN" 05."http://struts./dtds/struts-config_1_3.dtd"> 06. 07.<struts-config> 08. 09.<form-beans> 10.<form-bean name="helloWorldForm"type="com.vaannila.form.HelloWorldForm"/> 11.</form-beans> 12. 13.<global-forwards> 14.<forward name="helloWorld" path="/helloWorld.do"/> 15.</global-forwards> 16. 17.<action-mappings> 18.<action path="/helloWorld"type="com.vaannila.action.HelloWorldAction" name="helloWorldForm"> 19.<forward name="success" path="/helloWorld.jsp" /> 20.</action> 21.</action-mappings> 22. 23.</struts-config> Now configure the deployment
descriptor. Add the following configuration information in the web.xml file.
01.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 02.<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www./2001/XMLSchema-instance"xmlns="http://java./xml/ns/javaee"xmlns:web="http://java./xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"xsi:schemaLocation="http://java./xml/ns/javaeehttp://java./xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID"version="2.5"> 03.<display-name>StrutsExample1</display-name> 04. 05.<servlet> 06.<servlet-name>action</servlet-name> 07.<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class> 08.<init-param> 09.<param-name>config</param-name> 10.<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> 11.</init-param> 12.<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup> 13.</servlet> 14. 15.<servlet-mapping> 16.<servlet-name>action</servlet-name> 17.<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> 18.</servlet-mapping> 19. 20.<welcome-file-list> 21.<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> 22.</welcome-file-list> 23.</web-app> When we run the application the
index.jsp page will be executed first. In the index.jsp page we redirect the request to the helloWorld.do URI, which inturn invokes the HelloWorldAction.
1.<%@ taglib
uri="http://struts./tags-logic" prefix="logic" %> 2.<logic:redirect forward="helloWorld"/> In the action class we return the
ActionForward "success" which is mapped to the helloWorld.jsp page. In the helloWorld.jsp page we display the "Hello
World" message.
01.<%@taglib uri="http://struts./tags-bean"
prefix="bean" %> 02.<html> 03.<head> 04.<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1"> 05.<title>Hello World</title> 06.</head> 07.<body> 08.<bean:write name="helloWorldForm" property="message"/> 09.</body> 10.</html> After creating all the files the
directory structure of the application looks like this. ![]() On executing the application the
"Hello World" message gets displayed to the user. ![]() You can download the source code of
