Download Struts 2.0

                         

In this section we will download and install the Struts 2.0 on the latest version of Tomcat container. We will first download tomcat and configure it as our development server. Then we will download Struts 2.0 and install the struts-blank application on the tomcat server to check the examples that come with the struts-blank application.

Downloading Struts 2.0

Visit the Struts download site http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi and download the Struts 2.0 for this tutorial. 

We have downloaded the Struts 2.0.6 (struts-2.0.6-all.zip) for this tutorial.

Download the Tomcat

Download the latest version of tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi. We have downloaded apache-tomcat-5.5.20.zip for this tutorial.

I am assuming that latest version of Java is installed on your system. Extract downloaded file and run the C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.20\bin\startup.bat to start the tomcat. Type http://localhost:8080/ in your browser, it should show the welcome page in the browser window as shown below.

Congratulations you have now successfully installed latest version of tomcat for learning Struts 2.0. Now we will install the struts-blank application on the tomcat container and test the application.

Extracting Struts 2.0 distribution and installing on tomcat

Extract the downloaded struts distribution struts-2.0.6-all.zip into your favorite directory. To install the struts blank application copy "struts2-blank-2.0.6" from "<extracted directory>\struts-2.0.6-all\struts-2.0.6\apps" into the webapps directory of tomcat. Tomcat will automatically deploy the application.

To test the struts-blank application type http://localhost:8080/struts2-blank-2.0.6 in the browser and the struts-blank application get displayed in your browser window.

Click the English link and familiarize yourself with Struts Blank sample application.

Struts 2.0 distribution also contains the following sample applications that you can try:

  • struts2-mailreader-2.0.6.war
  • struts2-portlet-2.0.6.war
  • struts2-showcase-2.0.6.war

You can simply copy these files to the webapps directory of your tomcat server. Tomcat will automatically deploy these applications and then you can test these applications.

There is an exmaple in rose india site which is wrong code:
obj.fun2(2);
should have two argumnets in fun2(2,3);

URL is:
http://www.roseindia.net/java/learn-java-in-a-day/oops.shtml

Please check the code:
class A{
public void fun1(int x){
System.out.println("int in A");
}

}

class B extends A{
public void fun2(int x,int y){
fun1(6); // prints "int in A"
System.out.println("int in B");
}
}
public class C{
public static void main(String[] args){
B obj= new B();
obj.fun2(2);
}
}
