Ex no : 11Create a program using struts.
Aim : To create registration program using struts
Program and procedure:
1. Create New Maven Project:
Go to File > New > Other….
Select Maven > Maven Project and click Next.
Choose an appropriate workspace location and click Next.
2. Select Archetype:
Choose maven-archetype-quickstart or skip this step to create a simple project. Click Next.
3. Enter Project Details:
Group Id: com.example
Artifact Id: registration-app
Version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
Click Finish.
Step 3: Update pom.xml for Struts Dependencies
1. Open the pom.xml file in the root of your project.
2. Add the Struts dependencies inside the <dependencies> tag:
Program for dependency
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts2-core</artifactId>
<version>2.5.20</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3.3</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl-api</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
3. Save the pom.xml file and right-click on your project, then select Maven > Update Project to
download the necessary dependencies.
Step 4: Create the Registration Form
1. Create the Web Content Directory:
Right-click on the project in Eclipse and select New > Folder. Name it src/main/webapp.
2. Create a JSP file for the registration form:
Right-click on the src/main/webapp folder, select New > File, and name it registration.jsp.
Program
<%@ taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="s" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>User Registration</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>User Registration</h2>
<s:form action="registerUser" method="post">
<s:textfield name="username" label="Username" required="true" />
<s:textfield name="password" label="Password" required="true" />
<s:textfield name="email" label="Email" required="true" />
<s:submit value="Register" />
</s:form>
</body>
</html>
Step 5: Create the Action Class
1. Create a Java package for actions:
Right-click on src/main/java, select New > Package, and name it com.example.action.
2. Create the action class:
Right-click on the com.example.action package, select New > Class, and name it RegistrationAction.
Program
package com.example.action;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;
public class RegistrationAction extends ActionSupport {
private String username;
private String password;
private String email;
// Getters and Setters
public String getUsername() {
return username;
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
public String getPassword() {
return password;
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
@Override
public String execute() {
// Here you would typically save the user information to a database
System.out.println("User registered: " + username + ", " + email);
return SUCCESS;
Step 6: Configure Struts
1. Create struts.xml:
Right-click on src/main/resources, select New > File, and name it struts.xml.
Program
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.5//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.5.dtd">
<struts>
<package name="default" extends="struts-default">
<action name="registerUser" class="com.example.action.RegistrationAction">
<result name="success">/success.jsp</result>
<result name="input">/registration.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>
Step 7: Create a Success Page
1. Create a success.jsp page:
Right-click on src/main/webapp, select New > File, and name it success.jsp.
Program
<html>
<head>
<title>Registration Successful</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Registration Successful!</h2>
<p>Thank you for registering.</p>
<a href="registration.jsp">Register Another User</a>
</body>
</html>
Step 8: Configure web.xml
1. Create a web.xml file:
Right-click on src/main/webapp/WEB-INF, select New > File, and name it web.xml.
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
version="3.1">
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>registration.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
Step 9: Run the Application
1. Create a Server:
In the Servers view in Eclipse, right-click and select New > Server.
Choose Apache Tomcat and click Next.
Select the Tomcat installation directory and click Finish.
2. Deploy the Application:
Right-click on your project, select Run As > Run on Server.
Choose the Tomcat server you just created.
3. Access the Application:
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/registration-app/registration.jsp.
result
thus the program created a simple user registration application
