Struts 1.3

MVC:

MVC helps resolve some of the issues with the single module approach by dividing the problem into three categories:

• Model
  • The model contains the core of the application’s functionality. The model encapsulates the state of the application. Sometimes the only functionality it contains is state. It knows nothing about the view or controller.
• View
  • The view provides the presentation of the model. It is the look of the application. The view can access the model getters, but it has no knowledge of the setters. In addition, it knows nothing about the controller. The view should be notified when changes to the model occur.
• Controller
  • The controller reacts to the user input. It creates and sets the model.

Struts is an MVC implementation that uses Servlets 2.2 and JSP 1.1 tags, from the J2EE specifications, as part of the implementation.
