By: Gokul Verma Printer Friendly Format    

You'll need to know the directory structure of a Struts application, and what's put in the directories. The "struts-blank" application is well-suited for this presentation, since it contains a minimum number of files:

The Struts directory structure - 

File or Directory name

Purpose

META-INF

Contains meta information. Used by utilities etc.

WEB-INF/classes

This is where you place you own Java classes.

WEB-INF/classes/ApplicationResources.properties

Contains the messages (fixed texts) of the application. Error messages are also put here.

WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar

Contains the Struts servlet, helper classes, taglib code etc.

WEB-INF/*.tld

The Struts tag libraries.

WEB-INF/struts-config.xml

A Struts configuration file. More on this later.

WEB-INF/web.xml

The usual configuration file for the servlet container. More on this later.

index.jsp

The jsp-files (and html-files) may be placed in the root of the application directory. "struts-blank" contains this single jsp-file.
