Apache Struts is a framework designed to make it easier to create model-view-controller (MVC) Java web applications.

MVC uses a controller to coordinate interaction between the back end data (the model) and the front end that people see on their monitor (the view). Separating the functions keeps the code organized and easier to maintain and allows the graphic designers and the Java coders to work somewhat independently of each other.

Struts is supported on all of our Tomcat hosting plans. To deploy Struts on your Tomcat 6 from Java Web Hosting either make sure that your war includes the Struts jars and config files before placing it into webapps where it will autodeploy or:

1. Place your Struts config files into webapps/WEB-INF.
2. Place the Struts jars into webapps/WEB-INF/lib.
3. Place your classes into webapps/WEB-INF/classes.
4. Place your view files (html, jsp, etc.) into webapps.
5. Use the control panel to restart your Tomcat.
