The Bootstrap tutorial walks through installing the framework and creating a simple application.

Note

Be forewarned that While the framework is geared toward professional developers. To create simple to use, creating non-trivial applications , assumes a working knowledge of several key technologies is required.many JEE technologies, including:

  • Java
  • Filters, JSP, and Tag Libraries
  • JavaBeans
  • HTML and HTTP
  • Web Containers (such as Tomcat)
  • XML

(lightbulb) For more about supporting technologies, see the Key Technologies Primer.

In the "Ready, Set, Go!" lesson, we download the framework and get started on an application of our own.

...

A distribution can be downloaded from the Apache Struts website. The full distribution contains the struts2-core.jar file and ,related dependencies, example applications, a copy of the documentation in HTML format, and the complete source code.

...

To get started with a new application, we can use the blank template, run the Maven archetype, or just setup set up a web infrastructure from scratch.

...

For those of us using Maven as a build system, we can use the Maven Archetype to create a new application.

Code Block

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=tutorial \
                       -DartifactId=tutorial \
                       -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.struts \
                       -DarchetypeArtifactId=struts2-archetype-starter \
                       -DarchetypeVersion=2.0.1-SNAPSHOT \
                       -DremoteRepositories=http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository

The archetype command creates an application template. For more information, see Struts Maven ArchetypeFor directions on using the Struts 2 archetypes see the Struts 2 Maven Archetypes page.

Setting up from scratch

If for some reason the blank template or archetype doesn't work out, it's not so hard to setup a Struts 2 application from scratch. For details, see Simple Setup.
