What Does Struts Offer for the Model?
To be honest, the Struts framework doesn’t offer much in the way of building model components, but this probably is as it should be. Many frameworks and component models already are available for dealing with the business domain of an application, including Enterprise JavaBeans and Java Data Objects (JDO), or you can use regular JavaBeans and an ORM. The good news is that the Struts framework does not limit you to one particular model implementation. This chapter will present one approach. In Chapter 13, we’ll take a completely different approach and see how the framework is affected by this change.
