The directories and files of a Struts application
By: Gokul Verma in Struts Tutorials on 2007-04-04
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. |
