Tutorial: Creating Struts application in Eclipse

by · December 4, 2008

[ad name=”AD_INBETWEEN_POST”] Note: If you looking for tutorial “Create Struts2 Application in Eclipse” Click here. In this tutorial we will create a hello world Struts application in Eclipse editor. We will implement a web application using Struts framework which will have a login screen. Once the user is authenticated, (s)he will be redirected to a welcome page. Let us start with our first struts based web application. First let us see what are the tools required to create our hello world Struts application.
  1. JDK 1.5 above (download)
  2. Tomcat 5.x above or any other container (Glassfish, JBoss, Websphere, Weblogic etc) (download)
  3. Eclipse 3.2.x above (download)
  4. Apache Struts JAR files:(download). Following are the list of JAR files required for this application.
    • struts.jar
    • common-logging.jar
    • common-beanutils.jar
    • common-collections.jar
    • common-digester.jar
Open Eclipse and goto File -> New -> Project and select Dynamic Web Project in the New Project wizard screen. After selecting Dynamic Web Project, press Next. Write the name of the project. For example StrutsHelloWorld. Once this is done, select the target runtime environment (e.g. Apache Tomcat v6.0). This is to run the project inside Eclipse environment. After this press Finish. Once the project is created, you can see its structure in Project Explorer. Now copy all the required JAR files in WebContent -> WEB-INF -> lib folder. Create this folder if it does not exists. [ad#blogs_content_inbetween] Next step is to create a servlet entry in web.xml which points to org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet class of struts framework. Open web.xml file which is there under WEB-INF folder and copy paste following code.
<servlet>
		<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>
			org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet
		</servlet-class>
		<init-param>
			<param-name>config</param-name>
			<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
		</init-param>
		<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
	<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
	<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
Here we have mapped url *.do with the ActionServlet, hence all the requests from *.do url will be routed to ActionServlet; which will handle the flow of Struts after that. We will create package strutcures for your project source. Here we will create two packages, one for Action classes (net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action) and other for Form  beans(net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action). Also create a class LoginForm in net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action with following content. [ad#blogs_content_inbetween]
package net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.form;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMessage;

public class LoginForm extends ActionForm {

	private String userName;
	private String password;
	
	public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
			HttpServletRequest request) {
	
		ActionErrors actionErrors = new ActionErrors();
		
		if(userName == null || userName.trim().equals("")) {
			actionErrors.add("userName", new ActionMessage("error.username"));
		}
		try {
		if(password == null || password.trim().equals("")) {
			actionErrors.add("password", new ActionMessage("error.password"));
		}
		}catch(Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		return actionErrors ;
	}
	
	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;
	}
}

Code language: Java (java)
LoginForm is a bean class which extends ActionForm class of struts framework. This class will have the string properties like userName and password and their getter and setter methods. This class will act as a bean and will help in carrying values too and fro from JSP to Action class. Let us create an Action class that will handle the request and will process the authentication. Create a class named LoginAction in net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action package. Copy paste following code in LoginAction class.
package net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.form.LoginForm;

import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;

public class LoginAction extends Action {

	public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
			HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
			throws Exception {
	
		String target = null;
		LoginForm loginForm = (LoginForm)form; 
		    
		if(loginForm.getUserName().equals("admin")
				&& loginForm.getPassword().equals("admin123")) {
			target = "success";
			request.setAttribute("message", loginForm.getPassword());
		}
		else {
			target = "failure";
		}
		
		return mapping.findForward(target);
	}
}

Code language: Java (java)
In action class, we have a method called execute() which will be called by struts framework when this action will gets called. The parameter passed to this method are ActionMapping, ActionForm, HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. In execute() method we check if username equals admin and password is equal to admin123, user will be redirected to Welcome page. If username and password are not proper, then user will be redirected to login page again. We will use the internationalization (i18n) support of struts to display text on our pages. Hence we will create a MessagesResources properties file which will contain all our text data. Create a folder resource under src (Right click on src and select New -> Source Folder). Now create a text file called MessageResource.properties under resources folder. Copy the following content in your Upadate:struts-config.xml MessageResource.properties file. [ad#blogs_content_inbetween]
label.username = Login Detail
label.password = Password
label.welcome = Welcome

error.username =Username is not entered.
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
Create two JSP files, index.jsp and welcome.jsp with the following content in your WebContent folder. index.jsp
<%@taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html" prefix="html"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>

<html>
	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
		<title>Login page | Hello World Struts application in Eclipse</title>
	</head>
	<body>
	<h1>Login</h1>
	<html:form action="login">
		 <bean:message key="label.username" />
		 <html:text property="userName"></html:text>
		 <html:errors property="userName" />
		 <br/>
		 <bean:message key="label.password"/>
		<html:password property="password"></html:password>
		 <html:errors property="password"/>
		<html:submit/>
		<html:reset/>
	</html:form>
	</body>
</html>
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
welcome.jsp
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
		<title>Welcome page | Hello World Struts application in Eclipse</title>
	</head>
	<body>
	<%
		String message = (String)request.getAttribute("message");
	%>
		<h1>Welcome <%= message %></h1>
	
	</body>
</html>
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
Now create a file called struts-config.xml in WEB-INF folder. Also note that in web.xml file we have passed an argument with name config to ActionServlet class with value /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml. Following will be the content of struts-config.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
          "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.2//EN"
          "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd">

<struts-config>
	<form-beans>
		<form-bean name="LoginForm"
			type="net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.form.LoginForm" />
	</form-beans>


	<global-exceptions>
	</global-exceptions>
	<global-forwards></global-forwards>

	<action-mappings>
		<action path="/login" name="LoginForm" validate="true" input="/index.jsp" 
			type="net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action.LoginAction">
			<forward name="success" path="/welcome.jsp" />
			<forward name="failure" path="/index.jsp" />
		</action>
	</action-mappings>

	
	<message-resources parameter="resource.MessageResource"></message-resources>
	
</struts-config>
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
[ad#blogs_content_inbetween] And, that’s it :) .. We are done with our application and now its turn to run it. I hope you have already configured Tomcat in eclipse. If not then: Open Server view from Windows -> Show View -> Server. Right click in this view and select New -> Server and add your server details. To run the project, right click on Project name from Project Explorer and select Run as -> Run on Server (Shortcut: Alt+Shift+X, R) Login Page Welcome Page Related: Create Struts 2 Application in Eclipse [ad]

    If you’re (still) doing Struts, you should check out Oracle Workshop for WebLogic. It is the best Struts tool by far, includes many examples and can do much much more than Eclipse WTP. It is not WebLogic specific. And, it’s free.

    Check out my post about it:

    Nice tutorial, good job :)

    @Zviki I suggest having a look at IntelliJ IDEA’s support for Struts 2, in my opinion it is one of the best. It’s not free, though.

    Copy the following content in your struts-config.xml file.

    label.username = Login Detail
    label.password = Password
    label.welcome = Welcome
    error.username =Username is not entered.

    did u mean that paste the above content in MessageResource.properties file? or struts-config.xml file?

    You should have take the time to make this tutorial with the latest version of struts 1 : v1.3.10
    The version 1.2, on which is based this tutorial, has been released for more than 4 years ! The branch 1.3 which split struts.jar into multiple modules has been release in two years !

    Greetings!

    I found your post very educating. This is the first sample struts application I created using eclipse.

    However, I kept getting the error saying the message was not found in the key bundle.

    I tried many things but I got the same error. Finally I modified the entry in the struts-config.xml to
    from what you mentioned. It did the trick.

    I’m using struts 1.3, jdk 6 and eclipse ganymede.. hope that helps.

    I am fairly new to Struts, I was wondering if anyone can post or preferably mail me some materila about how to handle database connectivity in Struts. I am working on JNDI but I guess this won\\\’t be helpful if I have a shared apache tomcat server as that won\\\’t let me access the server.xml file.

    I am preety new to struts. I want to know how to remove the error Missing message for key \"label.username\"? I have created a package name resource in src and created a file in it with the name MessageResource.properties. What changes i need to make in my struts-config.xml?

    Hi Payal,
    I am not sure if I got your problem. What I understand is that you want to remove the error messages generated from keys that are missing in your bundle MessageResource file. If this is the case then you can use null attribute in <message-resources> tag in struts-config.xml file.

    null attribute will control the messages, If true, references to non existing messages results in null and If false, references to non existing messages result in warning message like
    ???KeyName???
    Hope this will solve your query.

    Hey thanks for this great tut!!

    But, I was having the same error “Missing message for key “label.username” and I moved the file MessageResource to the folder WEB-INF->classes->resource. That did the trick.

    Can you explain why tis happened? Thanks again mate!

  24. Viral Patel says:

    While providing the parameter attribute in <message-resource> tag we provide it as parameter=”resource.MessageResource”. Thus in this case, struts expects the MessageResource.properties file under resource folder. But if you have provided parameter=”MessageResource” then that means your MessageResource properties file is directly under classes folder.

    Hi..

    To make this tutorial work:

    1. also add servlet-api.jar.
    2. make sure struts-config.xml is in web-inf folder or the folder u have specified in web.xml
    3. make sure the messageresource file is in web-inf/classes folder.
    4. Change the following line in LoginAction.java from
    request.setAttribute(\"message\", loginForm.getPassword());
    To
    request.setAttribute(\"message\", loginForm.getUserName());

    Hey thanks for this great tut!!

    But, I was having the same error “Missing message for key “label.username” and I moved the file MessageResource to the folder WEB-INF->classes->resource. That did the trick.

    Can you explain why tis happened? Thanks again mate!

    Can you help on this error, it’s related to the tag libs which I’m still struggling to understand. the URI cannot be resolved.
    Also eclipse shows warning “unknown tags” for entire index.jsp page

    Hi.

    To make this tutorial work then follow these steps:

    1. also inlcude servlet-api.jar in lib folder.
    2. make sure struts-config.xml is in web-inf folder or the folder u have specified in web.xml
    3. make sure the MessageResource.properties file is in web-inf/classes/resource folder.
    4. Change the following line in LoginAction.java from
    request.setAttribute("message", loginForm.getPassword());
    To
    request.setAttribute("message", loginForm.getUserName());
    Change the following line in struts-config.xml
    from
    <message-resources parameter="resource.MessageResource"></message-resources>
    To
    <message-resources parameter="resource.MessageResource" null="true"></message-resources>

    Hi Salma,
    The error you are getting is due to the difference in the struts jar file. Check which version of jar you using and add the appropriate taglib paths in your jsp. For example try following URIs in the path of taglib.
    http://struts.apache.org/tags-html
    http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean

    Struts 2 is very different from Struts 1. You must use a version of Struts 1.2.x for the tutorial to work (no, 1.3.x won’t work either). Also, make sure you change Welcome.jsp to welcome.jsp in strut-config.xml once you get it working with Struts 1.2.x or else you’ll get a 404 error.

    Hi Sue, It may be possible that an instance of Tomcat is already running when you are trying to run it from Eclipse. Try to change few port numbers in server.xml file and see if the problem gets resolved.
    To know which ports to change see this article: Running multiple tomcat instances

      @Namrata, I can see the stacktrace is complaining about Missing message for key “label.username”. Can you check if your message properties file is included properly and it contains label.username key?

      @deepti, @amit: There was a small error in struts-config.xml file. I have changed the Welcome.jsp to welcome.jsp. Thanks for pointing out the error.

    I am getting the error mentioned below.No class file is getting generated for the JSP.Please ressolve

    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

    No Java compiler was found to compile the generated source for the JSP.
    This can usually be solved by copying manually $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar from the JDK
    to the common/lib directory of the Tomcat server, followed by a Tomcat restart.
    If using an alternate Java compiler, please check its installation and access path.

    Ok,

    thanks for the tutorial, this was my first start in struts. I had to do some tweaks to get this tutorial running. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and Eclipse 3.5.

    1) Make sure that Ubuntu uses Suns Java Virtual Machine, more precisely sun-java6-jdk.
    2) Maybe you have to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME. To achieve this, I modified the .bashrc-File on my machine.
    3) I used Tomcat as my web-container, but not the Ubuntu-package! Grab Tomcat from the apache website. The Ubuntu-package is splitted and Eclipse will get problems to find ‘conf’-directory.
    4) There are some conflicts in this tutorial, go for description in code/images, if you are in doubt. For example you should place class ‘LoginForm’ in package ..helloworld.form not ..helloworld.action as it is stated one line above written code.
    5) My application runs as I placed the ResourceMessage.properties-file directly in the src-Folder, so I did not create a special resource-Folder.
    6) I went through all files to make sure, all paths are set up correctly. Especially, you have to adjust struts-config.xml if you modified some package-names or the directory of ResourceMessage.properties.

    After those steps – all went fine for me. Good luck.

    that prob with “Missing message for key “label.username” ” .. there could be problem with Eclipse which doesn’t see folder resources … try to get file MessageResources.properties into some folder (package) INSIDE “src” folder. don’t forget to change the destination in the struts-config.xml. it worked for me.

    For those getting the Module ‘null’ not found exception. This is all you have to do.
    Make sure the following jars are in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
    commons-beanutils.jar
    commons-chain.jar – this is the key jar file most people didn’t probably add
    commons-digester.jar
    commons-fileupload.jar
    commons-io.jar
    commons-logging.jar
    jstl.jar
    struts-core.jar
    struts-taglib.jar

    1) The above code will work only if you change index.jsp taglib’s to

    2) Crete a folder “tlds” under WEB-INF and put the files
    struts-bean.tld and struts-html.tld. You can google to get the files!

    1) In index.jsp code page,
    — Error message is “Can not find the tag library descriptor for “http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html”

    2) When I try to execute the code, I got the error message “Several ports (8080, 8009) required by Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost are already in use. The server may already be running in another process, or a system process may be using the port. To start this server you will need to stop the other process or change the port number(s).”

    Please help me.

    I’m totally beginner for this.
    I don’t know how to resolve these issues.

      @Ria – Have you created the folder resource as a resource folder in your source? This is very important as if you not make the resource folder as resource, at compile time eclipse will not put it into classpath. Also check by generating WAR file if the MessageResouce.properties files in under WEB-INF/classes.

    Thanks Viral. It works perfectly if you follow the instructions exactly as they are. There’s just one mistake. In the screen shot for placing the “MesseageResource.properties”, it looks like the folder “resource” is outside the “src” folder, whereas is should be inside.

    Hi,
    For all those who are hung up with HTTP 505/500 error here are few suggestions. I have tried running this sample in basic eclipse javaEE edition.(i.e one that does not support struts framework directly).

    1) Check if your resource folder is properly placed (should be inside ‘src’ folder). I feel that following the author’s steps are better rather getting distracted. Wrong placement of this folder will be the probable reason behind 500 error.
    2) I dont see any logic in this, but still, try avoiding blank spaces in between properties in the MessageResource file. (label.username=Login Detail). But surprisingly once the program works, reediting of this file to include spaces does not affect the output. If someone can clarify it.
    3) If you are on eclipse then for every change try cleaning up your server and restarting the server before running the project. Especilally the version of eclipse that does not have struts capabilities, since you are responsible entirely for setting up proper configuration.
    4) If its a 404 error then web.xml placement/contents are wrong.

    Hope it helps.

      Please make sure that the “resource” folder is created under “src” directory. Or you can create some other directory structure like package(net.struts.helloworld.resource) under “src” and put the resource file in there. That will resolve the issue.

      Also, change <message-resources parameter=".MessageResources” /> in struts-config.xml

    The tutorial is good.
    Better if a failure could redirect to a page that returns some feedback.
    At the first time you try a wrong password, for instance, it gets confusing because it seems that no action happens.
    So, I did the following:
    1. switched

    to

    2. added the failed.jsp page which is a copy of index.jsp plus failure message.
    For example, follow the snippet:

    Failed – try again.

      Thanks Sagar,
      In this tutorial we are not connecting to database. The username/password is checked in LoginAction class. You may write JDBC code in LoginAction to connect to the Database and run queries like “select * from user_table where username = ? and password = ?” to check for authentication. I would recommend you to go through this tutorial: Struts2 + Hibernate example

    I just want to ask a basic question, when the browser send the request for Action “hello”, what is the flow and how the URL becomes “login.do” after hitting the submit button.
    As per my understanding after hitting the submit button , first it will read the web.xml file. in web.xml we have done a mapping for all *.do URL but while hitting the webapp the URL does not contain *. do, I am little bit confused, can anybody please explain.

      You have to place the MessageResource.properties file in to the WEB-INF/classes/resources/

      Otherwise in put in to the WEB-INF/classes and change in the struts-config.xml

    From UI if we give uname and password then these values have to be compared with the values in DB then if match success then have to redirect to next web page ?

    Please provide code for this one ?

      No need to change the location of the

      . Only changing the code in struts-config.xml (the way you suggested) worked for me.

    “Here we will create two packages, one for Action classes (net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action) and other for Form beans(net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action).”

    The second package should be “net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.form” not “net.viralpatel.struts.helloworld.action”

    struts 1.3.x will not work in this program. Use struts-1.2.7.jar instead. In some cases, you may need struts-taglib-1.3.10.jar

    Can not find the tag library descriptor for “http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean”. Try increasing the version of the Dynamic Web Module project facet, as this
    method of reference may not be supported by the current JSP version (1.1).

    Thanks for this great tutorial. I noticed one small discrepancy…
    I assume it should be the loginForm username and not the password assigned as an “message” attribute to the request object in the the ActionForm.

    request.setAttribute(“message”, loginForm.getUserName());

    Should your receive the following error when running the server:

    javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Missing message for key &quot;label.username&quot;

    Then you probably need to fix the

    &lt;message-resources parameter=&quot;resource.MessageResource&quot;&gt;&lt;/message-resources&gt;

    . The server can’t find the MessageResource.properties file because you are pointing to the wrong place. Try removing the “resource”, since struts can find the message resource by itself. Modify it so you have the following:

    [/code

    I have tried the above example and its working fine. While I started reading struts from books I really got confused and i was about to stop reading. Then i thought that let’s start developing a small application using struts taking help from google. I searched in google and found this website and started implementing the above example now its working fine and also I have got few ideas how it works. Many thanks :)
