In this tutorial we will show how the Web Framework Struts and the Database Persistence Solution Hibernate can be used together. Though we explain some basic, you should try the introductionary tutorials first when you are a beginner.

This tutorial will explain first steps using the web framework Apache Struts and the development environment eclipse.

This tutorial facilitates the first steps with the quite new framework JavaServer Faces (JSF). Step by step an example application (a library) will be created, which illustrate the different elements of the framework.

Struts tiles Tutorial with a small example application.

An application collects servlets, JSP pages, scripts and Java Beans into a self-contained web application. Applications are just generalized virtual hosts, only based on the URL instead of the host name. For example, a bulletin board application groups pages for article reading, group listing, user registration, and new article posting into a single application. Applications can keep track of user sessions, giving the users the illusion of a single application out of disjoint pages.

We want to create a small web application (library), that illustrates the usage of JavaServer Pages combined with Java Servlets. We use the JavaServer Pages to display data (presentation) and the servlets as control and call the business logic of the web application.

Tapestry is a great framework for web development. It allows you to create web-based applications easily and more importantly, do that with joy and feel good about your own work! How does it do that? First, it allows the web designer to work on the static contents and design of a page while allowing the developer to work on the dynamic contents of that page without stepping on each other's toes; Second, it allows developers to work with high level concepts such as objects and properties instead of HTTP URLs, query parameters or HTML string values; Third, it comes with powerful components such as calendar, tree and data grid and it allows you to create your own components for reuse in your own project.

Ever wondered how many users are viewing your web site at this moment? well this article seems to answer that. We will learn how to count active users using one session listener class and a JSP page. Once you have read this article, you'll be able to see the number of active sessions on your web site. This is all fun, so keep reading.

In this article we are going to talk about another wonderful aspect of web application development; managing sessions. I have already talked about installing Java application server and basics about Servlets. If you have been following my earlier articles then building Servlets shouldn't be a problem for you, all it takes is creating a Java class and extending from HttpServlet class and overriding a couple of methods. If you are not comfortable with Servlets then I would suggest that you consider going through some of the basic articles in the ' JSP and Servlets' section.

In this article we will learn how to send simple text emails using JSP pages. Since it is not a good habit to put Java code in JSP pages, we will create a JavaBean to do that.
