- How to Make Struts People Happy with JSF by Igor Shabalov - [Clicks: 309]
As a big promoter of JSF, I have been doomed to deal with many people, who have previous Struts experience. I notice in many cases that some sort of “paradigm mismatch” exists between Struts and JSF. I call this the “problem of the locomotive and the train.” Basically, this is a question of where to put the train engine – at the head or at the end of the train.

JMX (Java Management Extensions) supplies tools for managing local and remote applications, system objects, devices, and more. This article will explain how to remotely manage a web application using JMX (JSR 160). It will explain the code needed inside of the application to make it available to JMX clients and will demonstrate how to connect to your JMX-enabled application using different clients such as MC4J and jManage. Securing the communication layer using the RMI protocol and JNDI is also covered in detail.

Struts is a popular framework used to build enterprise-level J2EE applications. With Struts, J2EE Web application development has become easier and more manageable. Beehive, an open-source project by the Apache Software Foundation, goes to great lengths to make Web application development even more straightforward by building a simple Page Flow model on top of Struts. Using the new JSR-175 and JSR-181 metadata annotation facilities, Beehive reduces the coding necessary for J2EE application development. This article introduces the Beehive Page Flow technology, and looks at how you can use it to increase the productivity and quality of Struts software. It also examines how you can migrate to include this technology in a vanilla Struts application. The article assumes you have some familiarity with Struts.

For several years, Struts has been a popular and widely used framework for building web applications using Java. Recently, a new API that has significant overlap with Struts functionality—JavaServer Faces (JSF)—has become standard, giving rise to questions about which technology developers should use, and what they can do with existing Struts-based applications to start taking advantage of JSF's capabilities. This article briefly introduces both technologies, and discusses how to migrate the user-interface elements from Struts to JSF, providing a technique you can use to integrate the two technologies to obtain the best of both worlds.

With the advent of JSF, organizations that have standardized on other web frameworks, such as Struts, are evaluating their options for future development. First, they are interested in the key benefits that moving to JSF will provide, including the true value of JSF tools. Secondly, they are examining the possibilities for leveraging their existing code base and skill sets. Finally, they are interested in best practices for building new applications with JSF. This white paper addresses these questions with a thorough discussion of key JSF features and an overview of how your organization can begin migrating to JSF.
