Apache Struts 2 in a Nutshell
Apache Struts 2 is a flexible control layer based on standard technologies like Java Filters, JavaBeans, ResourceBundles, Locales, and XML, as well as various OpenSymphony packages, like OGNL and XWork. The framework helps you create an extensible development environment for your application, based on industry standards and proven design patterns.
...
The framework provides general-purpose defaults, so you can start using Struts 2 "out of the box" right away. As needed, you can override any of our defaults in your application's configuration. We provide the base framework, but you can still write your application your way.
