Java(TM) Boutique - Building a sample Web App with STRUTS Page 3

Tutorials : Building a sample Web App with STRUTS :

8. Now the final piece - lets write the TestResult.jsp: Here is the code for that:

<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<jsp:useBean id="TestFormBean" scope="request" 

type="com.openstack.struts.testapp.TestFormBean"/>

<html:html>
<head>
<title>test results</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<h3><jsp:getProperty name="TestFormBean"  


property="ipString"/></h3>
</body>
</html:html>

Looking at the JSP, it defines a bean instance and uses it to print a bean property ipString:

<bean:write name="TestFormBean"  property="ipString"/>

This prints the changed ipString as part of "ActionHandler".

9. Now we are ready to test. Click on compile all from the main menu, just to make sure that we have all our java code compiled. Right click on theTestFormPage.jsp and click on Execute. Depending on your settings NetBeans might give some warning like HTTP server could not be started etc. Click OK till it displays a browser window. Soon your page should show up.

10. Enter your name and click submit. The next page should come with a welcome message!!!

Conclusion:

As discussed we created a sample web application using STRUTS. While doing that we used NetBeans as an IDE, we utilized some tool features (such as auto generate getters & setters), used the integrated TomCat and the compile & test features of NetBeans.

Reference

For further details on building an enterprise application using open source tools such as STRUTS check out The OpenStack Project.
Sample code for the first open stack project is at The Project Page on sourceforge.

STRUTS Kick Start by James Turner & Kevin Bedell (SAMS) is a very good book on STRUTS.

On the STRUTS resource page you will find excellent collection of articles on STRUTS.
