"Our tailored course provided a well rounded introduction and also covered some intermediate level topics that we needed to know. Clive gave us some best practice ideas and tips to take away. Fast paced but the instructor never lost any of the delegates"

Struts 2 is a popular powerful framework for developing Java web applications. Struts 2 differs greatly from the original framework and as such this course is also suitable for anyone who has been using Struts 1.
In this Struts training course, experienced Java developers learn how to use Struts and the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern to build scalable, maintainable data-driven Web Applications.
1. How to install and set up the Struts framework with Tomcat.
2. How to design and implement a well structured Struts based web application.
3. How to implement and configure your own Struts components.
5. How to provide complex data validation on both the client and the server.
6. How Struts custom tag libraries simplify the development process.
7. How to utilise advanced features such as Validators, Templates
and Internationalisation.
The delegates will have hands-on experience of building Struts applications, including:
1. Implementing a simple form based web application with JSPs and Struts.
2. Using the Struts custom tag libraries to further improve the structure and maintainability of the application.
3. Design and implement a complex Wizard style application - including techniques for detecting illegal navigation from user.
4. Automating data validation with the Validator plug-in.
5. Template based page generation with the Tiles plug-in.
6. Internationalization of a web application.
8.Integration of Servlets, JSPs and EJBs to form a complete online J2EE application

Client feedback shows that delegates on our courses will best engage when they can relate course topics to their own day-to-day practices and requirements. Where possible, we run this course as a consultative, workshop-style event, in which discussion of relevant topics takes place in relation to the delegates' own applications and scenarios.
To facilitate this type of event, a subject matter expert leads the training, hands-on labs and discussions to ensure course topics are covered in a meaningful, relevant and timely manner. Delegates may be able to bring their own practical requirements and work to the course if the subjects and course topics are suitable.
