-<h3><a name=""></a>23 Jul 2002 - STL (Standard Tags) + Struts (MVC) live web Demo</h3>
-<p>If you are starting a Java Web, you should use MVC and Standard tags,
-this "kit" is a sample of "best" (at least good) practices.
-</p><p>
-It is MVC (Struts/Tiles)+JSTL +XSLT+ DAO (Open Source Data Access Object
-w/ SQL) + DB CRUD (Create update delete and SQL DLL scripts)+ J2EE
-Security ( to make Tomcat run like Apache )
-</p><p>
-It is KISS (you'll see how simple and how very standard) , good
-practices Free Open Source Framework to develop any web app, with the
-aim of being 80% of any app, but done as simple as possible and easy to
-teach. Again, everything is standard and simple. And it is the fastest,
-most efficient way to develop maintainable code I know of.
-</p><p>
-Samples include CMS (Authorize content, XSLT, CMS Comments, sinkable,
-single sign on, etc.), Issue tracking, + more coming.
-</p><p>
-Please download and install and see if you want to attend. Details:
-<a href="http://basicportal.sourceforge.net">http://basicportal.sourceforge.net</a>
-</p><p>
-I use it to teach Struts + JSTL public and private classes. I epically
-teach WHY you should want to do something in a certain way, not just how.
-</p><p>
-To attend and see "best practices"
-http://www.basebeans.com/webEx.jsp

-<h3><a name="20020723"></a>23 Jul 2002 - STL (Standard Tags) + Struts (MVC) live web Demo</h3>
-<p>If you are starting a Java Web, you should use MVC and Standard tags,
-this "kit" is a sample of "best" (at least good) practices.
-</p><p>
-It is MVC (Struts/Tiles)+JSTL +XSLT+ DAO (Open Source Data Access Object
-w/ SQL) + DB CRUD (Create update delete and SQL DLL scripts)+ J2EE
-Security ( to make Tomcat run like Apache )
-</p><p>
-It is KISS (you'll see how simple and how very standard) , good
-practices Free Open Source Framework to develop any web app, with the
-aim of being 80% of any app, but done as simple as possible and easy to
-teach. Again, everything is standard and simple. And it is the fastest,
-most efficient way to develop maintainable code I know of.
-</p><p>
-Samples include CMS (Authorize content, XSLT, CMS Comments, sinkable,
-single sign on, etc.), Issue tracking, + more coming.
-</p><p>
-Please download and install and see if you want to attend. Details:
-http://basicportal.sourceforge.net
-</p><p>
-I use it to teach Struts + JSTL public and private classes. I epically
-teach WHY you should want to do something in a certain way, not just how.

- The documentation is maintained in the <code>doc</code> folder of the CVS in a
- XML format. In the Nightly Build, there is a "compile.website" target in the
- <code>build.xml</code> file, which renders the XML into the HTML we post to the
- Website. If you would like to help with the documentation, it is important to
- provide patches and new pages in the XML source. Otherwise, some other volunteer
- will have to do this for you, and it may never get done. (Sad but true.) If you
- are submitting new material, it is important to decide exactly where you would
- put this in relation to the rest of the documentation. Someone has to figure that
- out before it can be added, and that someone might as well be you.

- New additions for the Resources page should posted as an enhancement request to

Tracking of bug reports and enhancement requests for Struts is handled
through the

Apache Bug Database</a>. Please select <strong>Struts</strong> from the product
list, along with the details of which component of Struts you feel this report
relates to, and details of your operating environment. You will automatically be
notified by email as the status of your bug or enhancement report changes. Please
be sure to read

<section name="Contributing Patches to Code or Documentation" href="Patches">
<p>
You can upload a proposed <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/source.html#Patches">
patch</a> to either the code or documentation by creating a feature request in
<a href="#Bugs">Bugzilla</a>. <b>After creating the ticket</b>, you can go back
and upload a file containing your patch.
</p>
<p>
The documentation is maintained in the <code>doc</code> folder of the CVS in a
XML format. In the Nightly Build, there is a "compile.website" target in the
<code>build.xml</code> file, which renders the XML into the HTML we post to the
Website. If you would like to help with the documentation, it is important to
provide patches and new pages in the XML source. Otherwise, some other volunteer
will have to do this for you, and it may never get done. (Sad but true.) If you
are submitting new material, it is important to decide exactly where you would
put this in relation to the rest of the documentation. Someone has to figure that
out before it can be added, and that someone might as well be you.
</p>
<p>
New additions for the Resources page should posted as an enhancement request to
<a href="#Bugs">Bugzilla</a>.

<p>
The <b>official documentation</b> for the framework is provided both online
and as a self-installing WAR in the distribution. The
<code>struts-documentation.war</code> includes our
<a href="./faqs/index.html">FAQs and Howtos</a>,
<a href="./faqs/newbie.html">Newbie</a> along with the
<a href="userGuide/index.html">Users Guide</a>,
<a href="api/index.html">Javadocs</a>, and everything else you find here.
You are invited to preview the documentation online, and then install the
application locally for closer study.
</p>
<blockquote>
Note: Most of the links in this section refer to the <b>Nightly Build</b>.
When learning about Struts, <b>be sure to refer to the documentation for the
version you are actually using</b>. The documentation is bundled with each
distribution as an application that you can install locally. Links to the
documentation for the current stable release (1.0.2) are also provided on the
menu bar. Whenever possible, please help conserve our bandwidth, and install
the documentation locally.
</blockquote>
<p><a name="faqs"></a>
The <a href="./faqs/kickstart.html"><b>Kickstart FAQ</b></a> answers the most common
non-technical questions people first ask about Struts. The
<a href="./faqs/newbie.html">Struts Newbie FAQ</a> answers the most common
technical questions asked by first-timer Struts developers. The
<a href="./faqs/helping.html">How to Help</a> FAQ answers the most common questions
about contributing to the Jakarta-Struts project. A more extensive
Struts knowledgebase is available at the
<a href="http://jguru.com/faq/Struts">JGuru FAQ</a> and
<a href="http://jguru.com/forums/Struts">Forum</a>.
</p>
<p>
The concise Struts <a href="userGuide/index.html"><b>Users Guide</b></a> introduces the
Model-View-Controller architecture, and how it relates to the major components of Struts.
To help you get started with the Struts JSP tag extensions and utility packages,
several <b>Developer Guides</b> supplement the Users Guide. The Users Guide also
includes detailed installation instructions and release notes for each version of the
framework.
</p>
<p>
For more detail about a specific class or package, the Struts
<a href="api/index.html"><b>Javadocs</b></a>
are <b>surprisingly comprehensive and carefully maintained</b>. It is <i>strongly</i> recommended that
you refer to the
<a href="api/index.html">
Javadoc</a> for each class as you begin to use it, to be sure important features
and options are not overlooked. <i>What you don't know, can't help you.</i>
</p>
<p>
Of course, the only true documentation is the code itself. If you have any questions
about how Struts actually works, do not hesitate to <i>use the source</i>. For the
complete, buildable source code to the entire Struts framework, see the "src" folder in
the <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/release/v1.0.2/src/">
<b>Struts 1.0.2 source distribution</b></a>.
</p>
<p>
The Struts <a href="#Involved">Mailing Lists</a> are a treasure trove of useful,
interactive information. The user list tends to carry a high volume, so always check
the published documentation and the
<a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=42">
<b>MAILING LIST ARCHIVE</b></a> before
<a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html">posting a new question</a>.
Like as not, it's already been asked and answered.
</p>
<p>
If you really can't find the answer to your question in the <a href="#faqs">FAQs</a> or
<a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/SummarizeList?listId=42">list archive</a>,
you can post your query to the Struts User list -- <b>BUT YOU MUST SUBSCRIBE TO THE
<a href="mailto:struts-user-subscribe@jakarta.apache.org">USER LIST</a>
OR THE
<a href="mailto:struts-user-digest-subscribe@jakarta.apache.org">USER LIST DIGEST</a>
BEFORE POSTING</b>. If you would rather not subscribe to a list, you can go through the
<a href="http://www.proj.com/subscribe.jsp">BaseBeans Struts Newsgroup</a> instead.
</p>
<blockquote>
Please note that the Struts User list enjoys a "casual friday" policy. More off-topic
messages are tolerated on Fridays so long as the message is prefixed with the token
[FRIDAY]. If you'd rather not be troubled by these postings, please set your
mail filter accordingly. Posting [FRIDAY] articles on any other weekday is <b>strongly
discouraged</b>. We thank you for your cooperation.
