Course: 521   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 4 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Develop scalable, enterprise Java Web applications using the Struts 1 framework
  • Apply Struts to build wizard-style page flows
  • Build Action Classes to handle application requests
  • Leverage Struts custom tags and the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL)
  • Perform client- and server-side data validation using the Struts Validator Framework
  • Integrate the Struts Tile Framework to develop reusable JSP layouts

Course Benefits
The Struts 1 framework provides an infrastructure that allows developers to build scalable, enterprise Web applications that are easy to maintain. In this course, you gain the skills to apply the Struts framework to design and build enterprise Web applications. You also learn to streamline the development process by integrating, applying and extending Struts components.
