</table> </section> <section name="Build! Deploy! Maintain!"> <ul> <li> <em>Build! <ul> <li> <strong>Easy startup - Jumpstart new projects with our bootstrap tutorial and template application or Maven archetype. </li> <li> <strong>Improved Design - Code clean against HTTP-independant framework interfaces. </li> <li> <strong>Enhanced Tags - Code less with stylesheet-driven form tags that provide their own markup. </li> <li> <strong>Stateful Checkboxes - Avoid special handling with smart checkboxes that know when they are toggled. </li> <li> <strong>Flexible Cancel Buttons - Go directly to a different action on cancel. </li> <li> <strong>First-class AJAX support - Add interactivity and flexibility with AJAX tags that look and feel just like standard Struts tags. </li> <li> <strong>Easy Spring integration - Inject dependencies into Actions using Spring without glue code or red tape. (Plexus support also available.) </li> <li> <strong>Enhanced Results - Do more with speciality results for JasperReports, JFreeChart, Action chaining, and file downloading. </li> <li> <strong>POJO forms - No more ActionForms! Use any JavaBean to capture form input or put properties directly on an Action class. Use both binary and String properties! </li> <li> <strong>POJO Actions - Use any class as an Action class -- even the interface is optional! </li> <!-- Experimental <li> strong>Zero Configuration</strong> - Optionally, replace XML configuration with convention and annotation. </li> --> </ul> <li> <em>Deploy! <ul> <li> <strong>Easy plugins - Add framework extensions by dropping in a JAR. No manual configuration required! Bundled plugins add support for JavaServer Faces, JasperReports, JFreeChart, Tiles, and more ... </li> <li> <strong>Integrated profiling - Peek inside Struts² to find where the cycles are going! </li> <li> <strong>Precise Error Reporting - Flip directly to the location and line of an error. </li> <!-- Experimental <li> <strong>Easy portlets - Automatic portlet support allows portal and servlet deployments with no code changes. </li> <li> <strong>REST-ful URLs - Use search-engine friendly URLs, like category/action/movie/Thrillers. </li> --> </ul> <li> <em>Maintain! <ul> <li> <strong>Easy-to-test Actions - Test Struts² Actions directly, without resorting to mock HTTP objects. </li> <li> <strong>Intelligent Defaults - Skip obvious and redundant settings. Most framework configuration elements have a default value that we can set and forget. Say it once! </li> <li> <strong>Easy-to-customize controller - Customize the request handling per action, if desired. Struts<sup>2 only does what you want it to do! </li> <li> <strong>Integrating Debugging - Research problem reports with built-in debugging tools. </li> <li> <strong>Easy-to-tweak tags - Customize tag markup by editing a FreeMarker template. No need to grok the taglib API! <em>JSP, FreeMarker, and Velocity tags are fully supported. </li> </ul> <subsection> <p> To download the framework, visit <a href="http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts210"> Apache Struts Distributions. </a> For more about Apache Struts 2, visit <a href="docs/home.html"> Getting Started. </a> For more about framework extensions, visit the <a href="http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/home.html"> Struts 2 Plugin Registry. </a> For help with migrating, visit our <a href="docs/migration-guide.html"> Migration Guide. </a> </p> </subsection> </section> <section name="Platform Requirements"> <p> Apache Struts 2 requires: </p> <ul> <li>Servlet API 2.4 <li>JSP API 2.0 <li>Java 5 </ul> <p> An alternate set of JARs for Java 4 are also available.

After working independently for several years, the WebWork and Struts communities joined forces to create Struts<sup>2.
