In this article, we’ve looked at the Model-View-Controller pattern, a simple “roll your own” implementation, and Struts, which allow us to develop flexible and extensible MVC-based Web applications. Obviously, there is more to Struts than we can hope to cover in an article like this, so you should consult the resources below for more information.
